Frequently asked questions
Which bass is better for slap and extended-range funk?
The Stiletto Studio-5 FF is purpose-built for slap with its five-string range, fanned frets for consistent tension, and aggressive EMG active pickups. The Model-T 4 is a traditional four-string better suited to standard rock and funk grooves.
What's the main difference in neck feel?
Both have thin 'C' profiles and similar first-fret measurements (0.787"), but the Stiletto's fanned frets and 24 X-Jumbo frets optimize for advanced speed and precision, while the Model-T's 21 jumbo frets and 12" radius support natural finger movement on a conventional four-string layout.
How do the electronics and tone differ?
The Stiletto uses 18-volt EMG active pickups with a 3-Band EQ for punchy, aggressive tone that cuts through dense mixes. The Model-T uses dual Schecter MonsterTone pickups (J/P style) with simple volume/volume/tone controls, delivering warm yet articulate tone with excellent sustain—more classic and less electronically shaped.
Which is better if I'm left-handed?
The Model-T 4 is offered in left-handed configuration. The Stiletto Studio-5 FF specs provided do not indicate a left-handed option, so the Model-T is the clear choice for left-handed players.
