Frequently asked questions
What's the main playability difference between these two basses?
The Extreme-5 LH is left-handed with a 35" scale, while the Extreme-4 is right-handed with a 34" scale. The extra inch of scale on the 5-string spreads frets slightly wider and extends lower register range; the 4-string's standard scale is more compact and familiar to traditional bass players.
How do the tones differ between them?
Both use dual Schecter Diamond Bass pickups and active electronics, but the Extreme-4 specifically emphasizes thick lows with controlled punch and warm versatility through its two-band EQ, while the Extreme-5 LH is voiced for focused, articulate, aggressive character suited to rock and metal.
Which is better for beginners or intermediate players?
Both are rated for intermediate and advanced players. The Extreme-4's lighter weight (8.60 lbs) and standard 4-string configuration make it slightly more approachable for players transitioning to active electronics; the Extreme-5 LH demands comfort with 5-string range and left-handed specificity.
What genres fit each bass best?
The Extreme-5 LH excels in rock, metal, funk, and progressive styles where extended low-end and 5-string voicing matter. The Extreme-4 covers rock, metal, funk, and studio sessions where traditional 4-string control and versatile EQ shaping are priorities.
