Frequently asked questions
What's the main tonal difference between these two basses?
The Extreme-5's 35-inch scale produces a tighter, more articulate low end with defined mids and crisp highs, while the Extreme-4 LH delivers punchy lows and articulate mids with a more aggressive character. Both use identical Schecter Diamond pickups and active 2-band EQ, but scale length and body mass influence the final voice.
Am I limited to one if I'm left-handed?
Yes—the Extreme-4 LH is specifically configured for left-handed players. The Extreme-5 is right-handed only, so left-handed players must choose the four-string Extreme-4 LH.
Which is better for funk and progressive music?
The Extreme-5 is explicitly listed for both funk and progressive, thanks to its five-string range and articulate voice. The Extreme-4 LH excels in funk and rock but doesn't list progressive as a primary genre, making the Extreme-5 the better choice for progressive styles that often exploit the lower range.
How do the neck profiles compare?
Both feature a thin 'C' maple neck with 24 X-Jumbo frets, but the Extreme-4 LH's specific neck thickness is detailed at the first and twelfth frets. The 35-inch scale of the Extreme-5 may feel slightly different in hand due to increased string tension, while the 34-inch Extreme-4 LH offers a more compact, familiar four-string feel.
