Schecter Charles Berthoud Signature Basses

Charles Berthoud's signature basses were designed with slap and tap technique in mind, and that shapes how they are meant to be played. Pick one up at LV Guitars and the focus is on the right-hand attack, the fretting-hand reach and the punch that active electronics give you when you dig in. The satin finishes in See Thru Black or Natural suit players who spend long sets moving around the neck.

Choose your range by the gigs you play. The CB-4 is the straightforward four-string for bands that need a familiar footprint. The CB-5 adds a low string for heavier material and deeper grooves. The CB-6 opens up the top and bottom for chords, solos and tapped melodies. Left-handed versions of each model mean lefties can pick the string count they want without compromise.

With prices spanning about $1,499 to $1,649, these are serious working and collector-minded basses from a player with a big following. Browse the live grid below to see which finishes and string counts are ready to ship.
