Description
Schecter J-4 Sixx Electric Bass Worn Ivory
The J-4 Sixx sits perfectly in your hands with a fast, comfortable thin 'C' neck profile that won't tire you out during long sets or practice sessions, while the Worn Ivory finish combines visual character with real road durability. Dual Schecter USA MonsterTone-J™ pickups deliver thick, articulate tones that punch through aggressive playing—metal, hard rock, and alternative—without sacrificing the flexibility you need for funk and groove work. The roasted maple neck with carbon fiber reinforcement stays true and stable, keeping your intonation locked in across the 34" scale and 21 Narrow X-Jumbo frets, show after show.
Playability & Comfort
The thin 'C' neck measures 0.787" at the 1st fret and 0.866" at the 12th fret, giving you a fast, responsive surface that feels natural for technical runs and powerful, palm-muting passages. Roasted maple construction with carbon fiber rods keeps the neck arrow-straight and stable through temperature and humidity swings, while the Graph Tech XL Black Tusq nut at 1.496" width locks in crisp string separation and sustain that carries your tone to the back of the room.
Tone & Electronics
The dual-pickup setup pairs Schecter USA MonsterTone-J™ bridge and neck units with a Volume/Volume/Tone control featuring push-pull coil-tap, letting you dial in aggressive low-end fundamentals and flip between voiced options for tonal flexibility on the fly. The Schecter Custom Bass String Thru bridge locks in tight sustain and clarity, crucial for cutting through a dense mix and holding your pocket tight on stage.
