Description
Schecter Model-T 4 String Exotic Black Limba Bass
The Model-T sits naturally in your hands with its roasted maple neck and thin "C" profile—buttery-smooth playability that sustains through extended sets without fatigue. The exotic black limba body resonates with warm, articulate tone—punchy lows and singing mids that cut through a live mix without sacrificing clarity. Built for both aggressive picking and nuanced fingerstyle work, this bass rewards your technique with consistent sustain and responsiveness across any genre.
Playability & Feel
The roasted maple neck with ebony fretboard and thin "C" shape gives you a fast, comfortable playing surface that responds to your technique. Twenty-one jumbo frets and a 12" radius fretboard accommodate modern lead work and traditional bass lines with equal ease. The Graph Tech XL Black Tusq nut at 1.496" width delivers clean articulation and reliable string spacing for precise intonation night after night.
Tone & Electronics
Paired Schecter MonsterTone pickups—a J-style bridge position and P-style neck position—give you flexible tonal options controlled via dual volume and master tone knobs with metal knurled set-screw knobs that stay put on stage. The Schecter Custom Bass Bridge with string-through design maximizes sustain and body resonance for locked-in low-end authority, while WSC KG400 tuners and a 2-way adjustable truss rod keep your instrument road-ready and stable through gigs and practice.
