Sound & Tone
The 35" scale and string-thru Schecter bridge give the low B tight, articulate definition, while the mahogany body and set-neck construction add warmth and long sustain under an ebony fretboard's crisp attack. Active EMG 40DC and 40P5 pickups push punchy, midrange-forward output with plenty of headroom, and the two-band EQ plus blend control lets you dial in anything from rounded fingerstyle warmth to aggressive, cutting bite. It suits modern rock, metal, prog, and slap or fingerstyle players who need clarity across five strings.
Schecter C-5 GT Bass Natural B-Stock
The C-5 GT sits in your hands like a pro instrument should—the thin "C" neck profile feels natural and fast, while the 35" extended scale locks in articulate low-end definition that cuts through any mix. This unplayed B-stock example shows only light cosmetic scratches on the fretboard—a genuine value on a solidly built instrument. The mahogany body with flamed maple top gives you both tonal warmth and visual presence on stage, while the set-neck construction guarantees sustain and stability across all registers, gig after gig.
Playability & Feel
The three-piece maple neck with thin "C" profile measures 0.787" at the first fret and 0.866" at the twelfth, giving your fretting hand easy access without compromising structural strength. The 35" scale paired with 24 extra-jumbo frets and a 16" fretboard radius responds exactly how you need it across the entire neck, while the Graph Tech XL Black Tusq nut at 1.771" width keeps string spacing clean for a five-string setup that plays in tune.
Tone & Electronics
The EMG 40DC bridge pickup and EMG 40P5 neck pickup give you punchy attack and articulate midrange that sits perfectly in a live mix, shaped by a two-band EMG EQ and volume/blend control for real-time tone adjustment. The Schecter Custom Bass Bridge with string-thru design maximizes resonance and sustain for the thick low end you need, while the 9-volt battery compartment powers the active preamp to keep your output consistent no matter how hard you dig in.
