Description
Schecter Charles Berthoud CB-6 LH Natural Satin
This left-handed 6-string electric bass sits naturally in your hands with its thin C-shaped neck and lightweight ash body, ready for the demands of live performance. The neck-through construction locks in sustain and tonal coherence across the full range, while the natural satin finish develops character and grip with road use. Built for serious players who need both ergonomic comfort and reliable, punchy tone night after night.
Playability & Feel
The 34-inch scale paired with a 20-inch fingerboard radius creates a fast, forgiving playing surface under your fingers, while the thin C-shaped satin-finished neck responds naturally to hand shifts during live passages. Neck dimensions of 20mm at the 1st fret and 22mm at the 12th fret give you refined taper that works equally well for tight technical playing or expressive soloing, and the 24 jumbo frets extend your reach across the board.
Tone & Live Reliability
The dual EMG 45HZ passive pickups paired with an EMG B64 active preamp and 3-band EQ system deliver articulate, cutting tone with the tonal range to sit tight in a mix or stand out front. The 54mm Graph Tech Black TUSQ XL nut anchors precise intonation and sustain, while the Schecter Diamond Custom bass bridge and Grover bass tuners keep your tuning locked in through a full set and handle the rigors of gigging.
