Description
Schecter Signature Dale Stewart Avenger Electric Bass in Gloss Black Finish
The Dale Stewart Avenger is built for players who demand speed and power in equal measure. Its contoured mahogany body sits naturally against your torso during long sets, while the ultra-fast thin 'C' neck profile lets your fretting hand move through the fretboard without resistance. Dual EMG 35HZ humbuckers paired with active 2-band EQ give you thick, articulate tone with commanding low-end authority—perfect for cutting through dense mixes in metal, hard rock, and progressive contexts. The smooth gloss black finish feels refined under your hands during extended playing sessions, and the set-neck construction with Ultra Access and Hipshot bridge hardware provide the rock-solid reliability needed for touring and session work.
Playability & Feel
The 34" scale maple 3-piece neck with thin 'C' profile and 24 X-Jumbo frets on a 16" radius rosewood fretboard responds immediately to your touch—whether you're executing rapid passages or locking into a groove. Neck thickness measures .787" at the 1st fret and .866" at the 12th fret, offering comfortable support across the entire playing range; the Graph Tech XL Black Tusq nut at 1.496" width maintains solid string definition and rock-stable intonation night after night.
Tone & Electronics
The EMG 35HZ bridge and neck pickups with Master Volume, Blend, and 2-Band EMG Active EQ deliver punchy, articulate tone with cutting midrange and deep low-end presence that stays focused even at volume. The 9-volt clip-in battery compartment powers your active circuit reliably through gigs and studio sessions, while the Hipshot 'A' Style bridge with string-thru body or top-load configuration locks your intonation tight and sustains with responsive clarity.
