Sound & Tone
The 12-string configuration layers octave courses over each fundamental, giving chords and single notes a shimmering, guitar-like top end stacked on top of a solid bass core, while the mahogany body and bolt-on maple neck keep the low end focused and punchy. The Seymour Duncan Pro Active APB-1 in the bridge position with its 2-band active EQ pushes an aggressive midrange and cutting treble, and the ebony fretboard adds clarity and attack to both fingerstyle and pick work. At a 34" scale it holds tight intonation for heavy rock and metal, and suits players who want a bass that can carry riffs and full chordal parts with real harmonic depth.
Schecter dUg Pinnick DP-12 String Lefty Bass Satin Black
The dUg Pinnick DP-12 sits beautifully in the hands of left-handed players with its thin 'C' neck profile and ebony fretboard, engineered for speed and reach across the extended 12-string palette. This instrument punches through on stage with Seymour Duncan active electronics and a mahogany body with chrome hardware, delivering the articulate tone shaping and responsive feel that working bassists demand. Built in South Korea to Schecter's specifications, it arrives fully factory setup and gig-ready out of the box.
Playability & Construction
The three-piece maple neck with carbon fiber reinforcement rods stays rock-solid under playing stress while the thin 'C' shape and 16" fretboard radius let fingers navigate smoothly across 22 X-Jumbo frets during sets. A 34" scale paired with a graphite nut (52mm width) and Grover tuners lock in stable intonation set after set, while Luminlay glow-in-the-dark side dot markers keep you oriented in dark venues—complemented by pearloid dot inlays with a DUg logo at the 12th fret for visual precision.
Tone & Electronics
The Seymour Duncan Pro Active APB-1 pickup wired to a 2-band active EQ (STC-2S-B0) responds dynamically to fingerstyle and pick articulation, giving you real-time midrange and treble sculpting powered by a 9-volt clip-in battery for consistent, reliable output through every set. The Schecter Custom Bass bridge mounted on bolt-on mahogany body construction delivers the focused low-end punch and harmonic depth that 12-string configurations demand, whether you're layering textures or driving the room.
