Schecter CV-4 Electric Bass Ivory

The CV-4 is built for the working bassist. Its thin 'C' neck profile and lightweight tuning hardware cut fatigue during long sets, while the ash body paired with a carbon fiber-reinforced maple neck delivers the stability and responsiveness that live work demands. At 34" scale with a right-handed setup, this four-string sits naturally in the hand and projects with clarity on stage. The ivory finish and chrome hardware present a clean, professional look that translates well under stage lights and on record.

Playability & Feel

The thin 'C' neck measures .787" at the first fret and .905" at the twelfth fret—a profile that rewards hours of playing without punishing your hand. The 10" fretboard radius combined with 22 narrow X-jumbo frets makes quick position shifts and solid intonation second nature, while offset dot inlays keep you locked in during dimly lit gigs. The Graph Tech XL Ivory Tusq nut and Schecter light-weight tuners keep your tuning rock-solid between songs and across extended sets, letting you focus on playing rather than wrestling with drift.

Tone & Electronics

Dual Schecter Diamond J-Bucker pickups give you serious tonal flexibility—dial in anything from punchy highs to deep lows with independent volume and tone controls, a 3-way switch, and dedicated series-split-parallel pickup switches. The S-Tek bridge with chrome hardware locks in sustain and intonation with authority, while metal knurled knobs with set screws give you tactile feedback and won't slip during an aggressive performance.
