Schecter C-5 GT Bass Satin Trans Purple B-Stock 2624
Description
Schecter C-5 GT Bass Satin Trans Purple B-Stock
This unplayed C-5 GT is built for 5-string extended-range work on the gig circuit. The slim, fast neck profile—thin "C" shape on a 35" scale—lets you lock into fast passages and wide intervals without fatigue. Set-neck construction with Ultra Access delivers solid resonance and sustain, while the arched mahogany body with flamed maple top pairs visual presence with the tonal character you need onstage. Minor cosmetic marks reflect B-stock pricing on an otherwise excellent instrument.
Playability & Construction
The 3-piece maple neck with carbon fiber reinforcement rods resists flex and movement, anchored by a 2-way adjustable truss rod accessible from the heel. A 35" scale paired with 24 extra-jumbo frets and a 16" fretboard radius creates a fast, articulate playing surface, while the Graph Tech XL Black Tusq nut (1.771" width) and ebony fretboard ensure clarity across all five strings.
Tone & Live Performance
The EMG 40DC bridge pickup and EMG 40P5 neck pickup deliver punchy, articulate bass tones with controlled dynamics that cut through a dense mix. A volume control, blend potentiometer, and 2-band EMG active EQ let you dial in everything from aggressive low-end definition to bright, focused mids and highs—essential tools for adapting to different rooms and band settings.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does B-Stock mean, and how does it affect this bass?
B-Stock means the bass is fully functional, unplayed, and carries Schecter's full manufacturer warranty—the only difference is minor cosmetic imperfections. This unit has a small ding on the lower side of the body and some white marks on the finish, both purely superficial with zero impact on playability, tone, or structural integrity.
Is this bass suitable for a beginner?
No. The C-5 GT is designed for intermediate, advanced, and professional players; the 35" scale, 5-string setup, and active electronics require experience to get the most from it. The slim neck profile and extra-jumbo frets suit fast, articulate styles like funk and progressive rather than foundational playing.
What kind of tone does this bass deliver?
The EMG 40DC bridge and 40P5 neck pickups paired with a 2-band active EQ produce punchy, articulate tones with controlled dynamics, bright focused mids, and aggressive low-end definition. The 35" scale and set-neck construction enhance resonance and clarity across all five strings.
How comfortable is the neck for extended-range playing?
The thin "C" profile (0.787" at the 1st fret, 0.866" at the 12th) combined with the 35" scale makes extended-range playing feel natural and effortless. The 3-piece maple neck with carbon-fiber reinforcement rods resists flex while the 24 extra-jumbo frets on a 16" radius provide a fast, responsive playing surface.
What is included with the bass?
The bass ships with Ernie Ball 5-String Super Long strings (0.045–0.130) installed. It features a Schecter Custom Bass Bridge with string-thru design, Graph Tech XL Black Tusq nut, and black hardware throughout.
