Sound & Tone
The 35" scale and .130 low B give this five-string a tight, well-defined bottom end, while the basswood body and bolt-on maple neck keep the fundamental punchy rather than overly thick. Dual Schecter Diamond Bass pickups with volume, blend and 2-band EQ let you dial from a rounder neck-position tone to a more aggressive bridge bite, with rosewood adding a touch of warmth to note attack. It suits rock, metal and modern pop or worship playing, and the slim neck with 24 frets works equally well for fingerstyle grooves and pick-driven lines.
Schecter C-5 Deluxe Bass in Satin Metallic Light Blue
The C-5 Deluxe sits naturally in your hands with its slim, comfortable thin "C" neck profile and moderate 16" fretboard radius that responds equally well to fingerstyle and pick attack across a 35" scale. The satin metallic light blue finish commands attention on any stage, while bolt-on construction locks in solid resonance and delivers quick access to the upper frets. This is a road-ready five-string for players who demand balanced ergonomics and dependable electronics that stay in tune night after night.
Playability & Construction
The thin "C" neck measures 0.787" at the first fret and 0.866" at the 12th fret—a modern contour that stays comfortable through long sets and studio marathons. A 16" fretboard radius across 24 Narrow X-Jumbo frets on rosewood lets your bends flow naturally and your chords ring cleanly, while the Graph Tech XL Black Tusq nut at 45mm width locks in proper string spacing and the tuning stability you need under stage lights.
Electronics & Tone
Dual Schecter Diamond Bass pickups (bridge and neck) feed a clean, no-frills control layout of volume, blend, and 2-band EQ—enough to shape your sound for any room without getting lost in menu diving. The Diamond Bass bridge pairs with the pickup set to deliver the punchy low-end definition and articulate note separation that cuts through a mix and translates across every gig.
