Sound & Tone
The mahogany body with a flamed maple top and set maple neck lends weight and sustain to a fundamentally warm core, while the ebony fretboard and string-through Schecter bridge sharpen note attack and harmonic clarity. Active EMG pickups — the 40P5 at the neck for thick, focused midrange and the 40DC at the bridge for tighter growl — run through a 2-band EQ with blend, giving quick access to everything from round fingerstyle tones to aggressive, cutting slap and pick work. The 35" scale keeps the low B tight and defined, making it a practical fit for modern rock, metal, funk and session work where five-string clarity matters.
Schecter C-5 GT Bass Natural B-Stock
The Schecter C-5 GT is a 5-string bass built for bassists who need modern ergonomics and articulate tone without compromise. Its thin "C" neck profile and 35" scale deliver responsive playability on stage and in the studio while maintaining the extended low-end definition that cuts through any mix. This B-stock example offers full specifications at a reduced price point.
Playability & Feel
The set-neck construction with Ultra Access cutaway puts all 24 extra-jumbo frets within easy reach, while the thin "C" profile keeps your hand moving fast through extended gigs and sessions. The 35" scale paired with a Graph Tech Black Tusq XL nut and ebony fretboard with offset reverse Roman numeral inlays feels refined under your fingers without sacrificing the modern playability touring musicians demand.
Tone & Electronics
Dual EMG pickups—the EMG 40DC bridge and EMG 40P5 neck—deliver the articulate, controlled punch needed to lock in with a band or stand out in a mix. The 2-band EMG EQ gives you essential tonal control for different rooms and rigs, while the Schecter Custom Bass Bridge with string-through design locks in maximum sustain and harmonic clarity across all five strings for reliable, consistent tone night after night.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does B-Stock mean for this bass?
B-Stock means the C-5 GT is fully functional and brand new, but has minor cosmetic imperfections on the finish or hardware—no impact on playability or tone. You get a professional instrument at a reduced price.
Is this bass suitable for live performance?
Yes. The set-neck construction, Schecter Custom Bridge with string-through design, and EMG electronics are built for road reliability and consistent output across venues. The thin "C" neck and 35" scale support extended playing sessions during gigs.
What genres does this bass work best in?
It excels in funk, progressive, and modern styles where articulate attack and harmonic clarity matter. The punchy midrange and controlled low-end make it less suited for folk and country applications.
How does the 35-inch scale affect playability compared to a 34-inch bass?
The 35" scale provides extended low-end definition and tighter string tension, which enhances clarity on the low B string. Combined with the thin "C" neck profile, it balances modern playability with traditional feel.
What is included with the bass?
The C-5 GT comes with a mahogany body with flamed maple top, ebony fretboard with 24 extra-jumbo frets, dual EMG pickups, 2-band EMG EQ, Graph Tech Black Tusq XL nut, and black Schecter tuners.
