Description
Sound & Tone
The EMG 40P5 at the neck and 40DC at the bridge push a clean, high-output voice with tight punch up top and firm, articulate lows, and the 2-band EQ with blend lets you dial anything from thick fingerstyle warmth to aggressive, cutting attack. Mahogany with a flamed maple top adds body beneath that clarity, while the 35" scale keeps the low B focused and defined rather than loose. It suits modern metal, progressive rock, and hard-rock players who need a clear low end in a dense mix, and the thin neck, 24 extra-jumbo frets and ebony board also make it comfortable for slap, tapping, and fast lines across the five-string range.
Schecter C-5 GT Bass Satin Charcoal Burst B-Stock
The Schecter C-5 GT is a five-string bass engineered for extended-range playing with a balanced, ergonomic design. Its thin "C"-shaped neck and set-neck construction deliver immediate comfort and responsiveness, while the 35" scale provides the tonal clarity and definition expected in modern bass work.
Playability & Build Quality
A 3-piece maple neck with thin "C" profile (.787" at the first fret, .866" at the 12th) connects to a mahogany body with flamed maple top via set-neck construction with ultra-access for fretboard work. The 24 extra-jumbo frets on a 16" radius ebony fretboard support aggressive playing styles and smooth bends across the extended range, while the 2-way adjustable truss rod with heel access ensures stable setup. On stage or in the studio, this neck sits naturally in your hand—the thin "C" profile minimizes fatigue during long sets, and the ebony fretboard feels fast and responsive under your fingers.
Tone & Electronics
A pair of EMG pickups—the EMG 40DC at the bridge and EMG 40P5 at the neck—drive a 2-band EMG EQ with volume and blend controls, delivering punchy highs and articulate low-end response. The Schecter custom bass bridge with string-thru design and Graph Tech Black Tusq XL nut maximize sustain and tonal transfer. Live, this combination cuts through a dense mix while maintaining the clarity modern players demand—the EMG setup gives you the punch to lock in with drums while keeping definition in your low-end work.
