Description
Schecter Stiletto Studio-4 FL Left-Handed Electric Bass Honey Satin
This left-handed fretless bass sits beautifully in your hands with a thin, comfortable neck profile that locks in precise playability across its 34" scale. The neck-thru construction with Ultra Access opens up the upper register without sacrificing sustain or response, while the mahogany body with bubinga top grounds the instrument with the kind of solid, resonant feel that makes fretless expression intuitive and natural. The Honey Satin finish delivers warmth on stage and a professional look that lets your playing take center stage.
Playability & Feel
The Thin 'C' neck profile measures .787" at the first fret and .866" at the 12th, giving your left hand the speed and comfort needed for marathon sets and studio sessions alike. Rosewood fretboard with lined fretless inlays guides your finger placement with absolute clarity, while the 16" fretboard radius and Graph Tech XL Black Tusq nut keep your tone punchy and consistent from the first note through the final note of the gig.
Tone & Electronics
Dual EMG 35HZ pickups capture the articulate, punchy character that defines great fretless tone—definition that cuts through a live mix. The Master Volume/Blend with 3-Band EMG Active E/Q and 18-volt battery system give you real-time control over your sound, while Ernie Ball 4-String Flatwound strings bring the warmth and reduced finger noise that seasoned fretless players rely on.

Frequently Asked Questions
What neck profile does this bass have, and is it comfortable for long sessions?
The Thin 'C' neck measures 0.787" at the first fret and 0.866" at the 12th, offering a fast, ergonomic profile designed for extended playing sessions. The 16" fretboard radius and neck-thru construction with Ultra Access also make upper fret work comfortable.
Is this bass suitable for beginners, or is it better for experienced players?
This bass is designed for intermediate, advanced, and professional players. Fretless technique requires developed intonation control, and the Stiletto Studio-4 FL is built to reward that skill with articulate tone and expressive response.
What does the active electronics system offer for tone shaping?
The 18-volt EMG active system includes a Master Volume/Blend control and 3-band EQ, giving you comprehensive tonal shaping to dial in punchy articulation or warm sustain. The system runs on a screw-plate battery compartment.
Why does this bass come with flatwound strings?
Ernie Ball 4-String Flatwounds are factory-installed because they reduce finger noise and contribute to the warm, smooth tone essential for fretless technique—particularly in jazz and funk where clarity and controlled sustain are critical.
What are the lined fretless inlays, and how do they help?
Lined fretless inlays are visual reference marks on the rosewood fretboard that correspond to where frets would be, helping you maintain precise intonation without tactile fret markers. They are especially useful during the learning curve and in low-light performance situations.
