Description
Sound & Tone
The P/J pickup pairing gives this five-string two distinct voices to blend: the MonsterTone-P at the neck delivers thick midrange punch and low-end weight, while the MonsterTone-J at the bridge adds bite and articulation for cutting through a mix. The 35" scale keeps the low B tight and defined, and the black limba body with a roasted maple neck and ebony fretboard leans toward a clear, focused attack with firm note separation rather than woolly warmth. That combination suits modern rock, metal, gospel, funk and session work where a tight low register and a punchy midrange are both needed, and the passive volume/volume/tone layout makes it easy to dial from round fingerstyle tones to snappier slap and pick sounds.
Schecter Model-T 5 Exotic Black Limba Bass in Natural Satin
This Model-T 5 sits naturally in your hands thanks to its thin "C" neck profile and 35" scale length—a five-string that rewards both speed and accuracy, with precise intonation and comfortable reach across the fingerboard. The roasted maple neck paired with an ebony fretboard stays put night after night, responsive enough for aggressive dig or finesse playing. The exotic black limba body in natural satin finish carries visual sophistication and real tonal presence on stage.
Playability & Construction
The bolt-on construction with Graph Tech XL Black Tusq nut (1.771" width) locks in tuning stability and keeps string definition clear through a full set. 21 jumbo frets on a 12" radius feel familiar and fast, while the 2-way adjustable truss rod with heel access means you can dial in your action on the road or make quick adjustments between gigs without a tech.
Tone & Electronics
The dual-pickup setup pairs a Schecter MonsterTone-J bridge pickup with a Schecter MonsterTone-P neck pickup, giving you punchy, cutting highs or deep, locked-in lows depending on where you sit in the mix. The volume/volume/tone control layout lets each pickup stand alone or blend seamlessly, while the Schecter custom bass bridge with string-through design holds sustain and clarity across all five strings, set and stable.
