Schecter CV-4 Electric Bass Gloss Natural
The Schecter CV-4 sits perfectly in your hands with its thin C-shaped neck and carbon fiber reinforcement, giving you the speed and precision to tackle everything from intricate fretwork to dynamic slap technique without wearing you down across a full set. The gloss natural finish lets the ash body's wood grain breathe while its smooth playing surface keeps your hand moving effortlessly through extended gigs. Tone-wise, this bass delivers warm, articulate midrange paired with punchy lows that punch through the mix in any band setting.
Playability & Construction
A lightweight ash body with a maple neck reinforced by carbon fiber rods creates exceptional balance that sits comfortably against your body during long performances. The thin C-shaped neck measures .787" at the first fret and .905" at the 12th fret, mated to a 34" scale and 10" fretboard radius that flows naturally whether you're running fast single-note lines or locking into smooth chord work across 22 narrow X-jumbo frets.
Tone & Electronics
Dual Schecter Diamond J-Bucker pickups with 3-way series-split-parallel switching let you dial in exactly the voice you need—from aggressive and focused cuts to warm and blended tones that sit in the pocket.
