Description
Schecter Stiletto Studio-6 Electric Bass See-Thru Black Satin
The Stiletto Studio-6 is built for the bassist who demands both comfort during extended sets and articulate, punchy tone on stage. Its neck-through construction and thin "C"-shaped neck profile make it a joy to play through long gigs, while the flamed maple top beneath the see-through black satin finish showcases the quality build that will serve you reliably night after night. Active EMG electronics and a 35" scale deliver the defined low-end and cutting response essential for rock, metal, funk, and progressive stages.
Playability & Construction
The neck-through design with Maple/Walnut multi-ply construction and carbon fiber reinforcement rods keeps the neck stable and responsive under the demands of touring and studio work. At 0.787" thick at the first fret tapering to 0.866" at the 12th fret, the thin "C" neck shape feels natural in hand for extended playing sessions, while the 2.125" Graph Tech XL Black Tusq nut and 16" fretboard radius support both aggressive riffing and melodic passages across 24 X-Jumbo frets without fatigue.
Tone & Electronics
Dual EMG 45HZ pickups paired with 3-band active EQ and Master Volume/Blend controls give you the tonal flexibility to dial in everything from tight, defined lows to warm, full-bodied fundamentals. The 18-volt active system provides dynamic headroom and clarity that cuts through dense mixes on stage and in the studio, standing out in any band context without breaking a sweat.
