Description
Sound & Tone
The active EMG pairing — a 35DC at the bridge and 35P4 at the neck — pushes a punchy, articulate voice with crisp high-end detail and tight, controlled lows, and the 2-band EQ with blend control lets you dial from focused bridge growl to fuller neck-heavy thump. Mahogany body with a flamed maple top and an ebony fretboard reinforce the clarity and attack, while the 34" scale and string-thru bridge keep notes defined and even across all four strings. Best suited to rock, metal and modern progressive playing where cutting definition matters, though the blend and EQ range also cover funk, fingerstyle groove work and studio session duty. The thin "C" neck, 24 X-Jumbo frets and Ultra Access set-neck heel favor players who work high on the neck or lean on fast, technical lines.
Schecter C-4 GT Bass Trans Blue B-Stock
This unplayed B-stock C-4 GT delivers a slim, fast neck profile that sits comfortably in the hand—the thin "C" shape and featherweight playability make it responsive across all four strings. The 34" scale with 24 X-Jumbo frets on an ebony fretboard provides excellent reach and articulation for modern bass playing. Minor cosmetic marks on the back and side keep the price down while the instrument itself remains in excellent working condition.
Playability & Build
The maple 3-piece neck with carbon fiber reinforcement rods ensures rock-solid stability and minimal neck dive, while the set-neck construction with Ultra Access makes upper fret access effortless. A Graph Tech XL Black Tusq nut and Schecter tuners round out hardware that supports reliable intonation and tuning stability, and the mahogany body with flamed maple top wrapped in black 1-ply binding delivers classic aesthetics with modern construction.
Tone & Electronics
The EMG 35DC bridge pickup and EMG 35P4 neck pickup combination cuts through live settings with punchy, articulate tones and extended high-end clarity paired with controlled low-end punch that holds up on any stage. A 2-band EMG EQ with dedicated volume and blend controls lets you dial in surgical tone-shaping on the fly, powered by a 9-volt clip-in battery compartment that delivers consistent active electronics performance through long gigs.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does B-Stock mean on this bass?
B-Stock means this bass is fully functional and carries the manufacturer warranty, but has minor cosmetic imperfections from warehouse handling or display—marks on the back and side that have no effect on playability, tone, or structure. You're buying a pro-level instrument at a discount for cosmetic-only reasons.
Is this bass good for funk and studio sessions?
Yes. The EMG active pickup system and 2-band EQ deliver punchy, articulate tones with extended high-end clarity ideal for modern funk and studio work. The fast "C"-shaped neck and 24 X-Jumbo frets make it easy to lock in tight, articulate lines.
How stable is the neck on this bass?
The maple 3-piece neck with carbon fiber reinforcement rods and set-neck construction with Ultra Access heel ensures excellent stability and minimal neck dive. The Graph Tech XL Black Tusq nut and Schecter custom bridge support reliable tuning stability and intonation.
What pickups does it have?
The C-4 GT uses an EMG 35DC bridge pickup and EMG 35P4 neck pickup, paired with a 2-band EMG EQ featuring separate volume and blend controls powered by a 9-volt clip-in battery.
How does this compare to the Ibanez SR4 or Yamaha TRBX504?
All three offer slim, fast necks and active electronics for modern bass playing. The C-4 GT emphasizes a slightly warmer mahogany-body tone with set-neck construction and proven EMG electronics, while the Ibanez SR4 and Yamaha TRBX504 each bring their own voice and hardware approach—your choice depends on whether you prefer Schecter's build and EMG tone shaping.
