Schecter Corsair Bass in Gloss Black

Built for players who demand responsive dynamics and inspiring feel across aggressive playing styles.
Playability & Construction
The 34" scale maple neck features carbon fiber reinforcement rods for rock-solid stability and a thin 'C' profile measuring .787" at the 1st fret and .866" at the 12th fret—built for speed and endurance. 20 narrow X-Jumbo frets on an ebony fretboard with 16" radius keep your action fast and smooth under the fingers, while the Graph Tech XL Black Tusq nut (1.496" width) locks in precise intonation and sustain. Set-neck construction with an arched maple top and cream multi-ply binding provides structural integrity that gigs demand and visual presence that looks right on stage.
Tone & Electronics
Dual EMG TBHZ pickups paired with 2-Band EMG Active EQ deliver punchy mids and articulate lows that cut through a live mix while maintaining heavy bottom end. Master volume, blend, and tone shaping via metal knurled knobs with set screws provide intuitive control for quick adjustments between songs, with a 9-volt clip-in battery compartment powering the active electronics for gig-ready reliability.
