Frequently asked questions
Which bass has better tone for funk and rock?
Both excel in funk and rock. The Session Stiletto-4's swamp ash body and EMG 35 pickups deliver warmer, more extended dynamics ideal for studio clarity. The Stealth-4 LH's basswood and Schecter Diamond pickups offer punchy mids and articulate lows suited to aggressive playing. The Session's 3-band EQ gives more tonal shaping power overall.
What's the difference in neck feel?
Both feature a 'C'-shaped maple neck and 34-inch scale with 24 frets. The Stealth-4 LH emphasizes a thin profile for quick lateral movement; the Session provides specific measurements (.826" at fret 1, .905" at fret 12) for a moderate, balanced grip. Choose based on hand size preference and whether you need left-handed orientation.
Why is the Session Stiletto-4 a better studio choice if both are versatile?
The Session's 18-volt active system with 3-band EQ allows precise surgical control over low-end depth, midrange presence, and high-end clarity—critical for recording. The Stealth-4's 2-band EQ is simpler and more performance-oriented. The Session's swamp ash also naturally resonates with clarity that favors studio tracking.
Is the B-stock condition a real concern?
The B-stock Session has only a minor cosmetic scratch on the back of the neck that does not affect playability or tone. If you don't mind a small visual imperfection, you get the same professional-grade instrument at a lower price.
