Schecter C-4 GT Bass Trans Blue B-Stock 2775 vs Schecter C-4 GT Bass Trans Blue B-Stock 2781
Both are Schecter C-4 GT basses in Trans Blue B-stock, but the 2781 adds carbon fiber neck reinforcement, X-Jumbo frets, a Graph Tech nut, and smaller EMG pickups for a more focused, articulate voice suited to advanced players; the 2775 uses larger EMG pickups and lacks those upgrades, making it more welcoming to beginners while still capable across rock, metal, and funk.

Frequently asked questions
What's the key difference in pickups between these two basses?
The 2775 uses EMG 40DC and 40P5 pickups (larger format, fuller tone with warmer sustain). The 2781 uses EMG 35DC and 35P4 pickups (smaller format, more articulate highs and commanding lows with tighter definition). The 2781 also includes a 2-Band EQ for active tone shaping.
Why does the 2781 cost more if both are B-stock?
The 2781 includes premium upgrades: carbon fiber neck reinforcement for stability, 24 X-Jumbo frets on a tighter 16-inch radius, and a Graph Tech XL Black Tusq nut. These features support advanced technique and precise tonal control, justifying the higher price despite both being B-stock condition.
Which is better for a beginner bassist?
The 2775 is more beginner-friendly: its larger pickups deliver a fuller, more forgiving tone, and it has simpler passive electronics without EQ to navigate. The 2781's X-Jumbo frets, aggressive voicing, and active EQ are better suited to intermediate and advanced players.
What cosmetic issues come with each B-stock unit?
The 2775 has minor cosmetic imperfections unspecified. The 2781 has visible binding cracks at the fret wire ends but is unplayed and fully functional. Neither issue affects playability or tone.
