Description
Schecter Sixx Electric Bass in Satin Black Finish
The Schecter Sixx sits naturally in your hands thanks to its C-shaped neck and carefully tapered profile from first to twelfth fret. The neck-through construction combined with a mahogany body delivers solid sustain and midrange presence that cuts through live mixes. Built for bassists who demand responsive playability and rock-solid electronics night after night.
Playability & Construction
The 34-inch scale and 24 X-Jumbo frets on a rosewood fretboard give you the reach and precision for intricate lines and aggressive playing alike. The maple/walnut multi-ply neck stays rock-solid under road wear and temperature swings, while the Graph Tech XL Black Tusq nut locks in your tuning set tight. Black chrome hardware and cream dot inlays provide a sleek, professional stage presence.
Tone & Electronics
The EMG LJX bridge and EMG PX neck pickups deliver punchy lows and articulate highs with active tone shaping that handles everything from thunderous sub-lows to crisp mids. The EMG VLPF active tone control with kill switch and dual volume controls puts tonal sculpting at your fingertips—cut frequencies on the fly, kill the output for dramatic dynamics, or dial in your signature sound without losing punch or clarity across the register.
