Frequently asked questions
What's the fundamental difference between these two instruments?
The Schecter Ultra Bass is a 5-string bass guitar (34" scale) designed for low-end frequencies and bass-specific techniques. The Schecter PT Pro is a 6-string electric guitar (25.5" scale) designed for standard guitar tuning and playing. They are completely different instrument types.
Which is better for funk and modern bass styles?
The Schecter Ultra Bass is purpose-built for funk and progressive music, featuring aggressive EMG TBHZ pickups, tight low-end response, and punchy mids. The PT Pro is a guitar and cannot fulfill bass functions.
What's the advantage of B-stock condition on the PT Pro?
B-stock indicates minor cosmetic imperfections or packaging issues, not functional defects. The PT Pro B-stock offers the same professional-grade electronics, hardware, and playability as a new unit at a reduced price point, making it valuable for budget-conscious buyers.
How do the neck profiles compare?
Both instruments feature a thin 'C' neck profile (.787" at the first fret), designed for fast, comfortable playing and minimal hand fatigue. The Ultra Bass has a single measurement; the PT Pro expands slightly to .866" at the 12th fret for ergonomic comfort across the full scale.
