Sound & Tone
Dual EMG 40TW active pickups running at 18 volts through a 3-band EQ give this five-string a punchy, high-headroom voice with tight lows and clear upper-mid definition, and the push-pull controls let you shift between aggressive, cutting attack and warmer, rounder tones. The 35" scale keeps the low B firm and articulate rather than loose, while neck-through construction with a quilted maple top over mahogany and an ebony fretboard adds sustain and a crisp, focused note edge. It's aimed at metal, hard rock and alternative players who need to cut through dense mixes, but the EQ range and clean attack also serve funk and fusion lines well.
Schecter Hellraiser Extreme-5 Electric Bass — Crimson Red Burst Satin
The ultra-thin neck profile on this Hellraiser Extreme-5 sits naturally in your hand with a satin finish that lets your fingers glide across the fretboard without drag or friction. The five-string configuration opens up lower tuning possibilities for modern heavy styles while preserving the articulation and punch needed to slice through dense mixes on stage. Professional-grade construction and active electronics combine to deliver technical precision and expressive range across metal, hard rock, alternative, funk, and fusion—built for players who demand reliability and tonal versatility.
Playability & Build Quality
The thin 'C' neck shape measures 0.787" at the first fret and 0.866" at the 12th fret, paired with a 35" scale and 24 X-Jumbo frets on an ebony fretboard with a 16" radius that keeps reach comfortable across every position. Neck-through construction with Ultra Access delivers superior sustain and resonance while keeping upper-fret work practical for live performance, and the quilted maple top over mahogany with MOP binding ensures both striking visual character and responsive tonal clarity.
Tone & Electronics
Dual EMG 40TW pickups paired with an active 3-band EQ system produce articulate, punchy tone with the clarity and presence needed to cut through a full band. The 18-volt active electronics with push-pull volume controls let you dial everything from aggressive metal attack to warm, rounded funk and jazz fusion character—all responsive under your hands on stage.
