Schecter C-5 Deluxe Bass Satin Metallic Light Blue

Schecter C-5 Deluxe Bass in Satin Metallic Light Blue

The C-5 Deluxe delivers a slim, comfortable neck profile with its thin "C" shape and moderate fretboard radius that supports both fingerstyle and pick playing across a 35" scale. The satin metallic light blue finish offers a distinctive aesthetic while the bolt-on construction ensures solid resonance and fast access to the upper frets. This is a capable five-string platform for players seeking balanced ergonomics and reliable electronics in a production-quality instrument.

Playability & Construction

The thin "C" neck measures 0.787" at the first fret and 0.866" at the 12th fret, providing a modern profile that sits comfortably in the hand for extended sessions. A 16" fretboard radius across 24 Narrow X-Jumbo frets on rosewood encourages smooth string bending and chord work, while the Graph Tech XL Black Tusq nut at 45mm width ensures proper string spacing and reliable tuning stability.

Electronics & Tone

Dual Schecter Diamond Bass pickups (bridge and neck) feed into a straightforward control scheme of volume, blend, and 2-band EQ, giving you focused tone-shaping without unnecessary complexity. The Diamond Bass bridge works in tandem with the electronics to deliver punchy fundamentals and articulate note definition suitable for diverse playing contexts.
