Schecter Stiletto Extreme-5 Electric Bass See-Thru Black

Schecter Stiletto Extreme-5 Electric Bass See-Thru Black

The Stiletto Extreme-5 delivers a refined, ergonomic playing experience defined by its thin "C" neck profile and extended 35" scale length. This five-string bass balances aggressive hardware appointments with comfortable neck geometry, making it equally at home in studio sessions and live performance. The see-thru black finish over quilted maple showcases the instrument's solid construction while maintaining a professional, understated aesthetic.

Playability & Feel

The thin "C" neck shape combined with precise fret work—24 X-Jumbo frets on a rosewood fretboard with 16" radius—enables fast, articulate playing across the entire fingerboard. The extended 35" scale provides increased string tension and tonal clarity, while the Graph Tech XL Black Tusq nut ensures stable tuning and crisp note definition from the start.

Tone & Electronics

Dual Schecter Diamond Bass pickups paired with active 2-band EQ deliver flexible tonal shaping—from tight, defined lows to articulate high-end response. The master volume, blend control, and active circuitry provide responsive tone sculpting, while the 9-volt clip-in battery compartment keeps maintenance straightforward and reliable.
