Sound & Tone
The mahogany body with quilted maple top and neck-thru construction gives this five-string a thick, sustaining core with a bright edge, while the 35" scale keeps the low B tight and defined rather than loose. Dual EMG 40TW pickups running at 18 volts through an active 3-band EQ push a clean, high-headroom output with punchy lows and cutting highs, and the push-pull volume controls let you shift between fuller humbucking and leaner single-coil voicings. The ebony fretboard and X-Jumbo frets add snap and clarity to attack, making it a strong fit for metal, hard rock, and modern aggressive fingerstyle or slap playing where articulation under high gain matters.
Schecter Hellraiser Extreme-5 Electric Bass Crimson Red Burst Satin B-Stock
The Hellraiser Extreme-5 is built for bassists who demand speed and control. Its slim, fast neck profile cuts fatigue during extended playing sessions, while the neck-thru construction with Ultra Access ensures effortless reach to the upper frets. This B-stock unit features cosmetic flaws in the headstock area but maintains full structural and tonal integrity. The extended 35" scale and 24 X-Jumbo frets deliver the articulation and sustain modern bass lines require.
Playability & Construction
The neck-thru design with mahogany body and quilted maple top yields solid sustain and resonance, while the Maple/Walnut multi-ply neck with ebony fretboard resists wear and delivers consistent response. The Thin 'C' neck shape (0.787" at the 1st fret, 0.866" at the 12th fret) paired with a 16" fretboard radius and 1.771" nut width accommodates both aggressive finger technique and smooth thumb positioning across the five strings.
Electronics & Tone
Dual EMG 40TW pickups feed a dedicated active 3-band EQ circuit with push-pull volume controls, delivering everything from tight lows to articulate highs with minimal noise. The 18-volt battery compartment with screw plate ensures stable power delivery and easy access for maintenance on the road.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does B-Stock mean, and does it affect tone or playability?
This B-stock unit has minor cosmetic imperfections on the headstock area, typical of returned or display inventory. These marks are purely superficial and have absolutely zero impact on playability, tone, or structural integrity—you're getting the same full manufacturer warranty coverage and performance as a new bass at a significant discount.
Is this bass suitable for advanced players, or is it beginner-friendly?
The Hellraiser Extreme-5 is built for intermediate, advanced, and professional players. The slim Thin 'C' neck profile (0.787" at the 1st fret) reduces fatigue during extended sessions, and the 35" scale with 24 X-Jumbo frets demands confident technique and rewards speed and articulation.
What genres and playing styles work best with this bass?
This bass excels in progressive, funk, and studio session work where articulation, sustain, and tonal control matter most. The tight low end and articulate highs from the EMG pickups and active EQ make it less suited for folk or worship styles that typically favor a warmer, simpler tone.
How does the active EQ system work, and is it easy to dial in?
The dedicated active 3-band EQ with push-pull volume controls lets you shape everything from tight lows to articulate highs, powered by an 18-volt battery compartment with a screw plate for easy maintenance. This gives you complete tonal flexibility within a single performance or recording session.
How does the Hellraiser Extreme-5 compare to other 5-string basses at this price?
The Ibanez SR Premium 5-String, Yamaha TRB1005, and Corvus Signature Series 5 are comparable alternatives. The Hellraiser stands out for its neck-thru construction, slim Thin 'C' profile, and dual EMG 40TW electronics, delivering modern clarity and tonal range in a fast-playing platform.
