Description
Schecter Stiletto Studio-5 Electric Bass in See-Thru Black Satin
The Stiletto Studio-5 sits in your hands with a Thin "C" profile neck that rewards hours of playing, while its neck-thru construction with ultra access keeps upper-fret work effortless during gigs and rehearsals. The 35" scale length and 24 X-jumbo frets give you extended range without sacrificing speed or comfort across the board. This five-string machine cuts an aggressive silhouette—See-Thru Black Satin finish with black chrome hardware—while the dual EMG 40HZ pickups and active electronics guarantee the tonal punch and shaping you need to sit tight in any mix.
Build & Construction
Neck-thru mahogany body with a flamed maple top delivers the sustain and resonance that carries through a venue, while the maple/walnut multi-ply neck stays rock-solid under the tension of the extended 35" scale. Black chrome hardware and the Schecter Diamond Custom Bass bridge lock in your tuning and feel built to tour.
Playability & Tone
The rosewood fingerboard with abalone offset dot inlays combined with a 16" fretboard radius curves naturally under your fingers for smooth, consistent fretting feel, while EMG 40HZ pickups paired with a 3-band active EQ and blend control let you dial in articulate, punchy tones with complete command over your sound. The Graph Tech XL Black Tusq nut and 2-way adjustable truss rod keep intonation tight and neck relief stable through years of gigs and studio sessions.
