Description
Sound & Tone
Black limba gives this five-string a warm, resonant core with articulate mids and punchy lows, while the roasted maple neck and ebony fretboard add snap and clarity to the attack. The MonsterTone P/J pairing covers plenty of ground through its Volume/Volume/Tone layout: thick midrange growl from the neck P, and a leaner, more cutting edge when you blend in the J at the bridge. The 35" scale and string-thru bridge keep the low B tight and defined, making it a practical choice for rock, metal, funk, gospel and session work where a focused bottom end matters.
Schecter Model-T 5 String Exotic Lefty Bass Black Limba
This left-handed Model-T features a fast, comfortable thin 'C' neck profile that sits naturally in your hand, with a roasted maple neck and ebony fretboard designed for effortless playability across its 21 jumbo frets. The exotic black limba body with natural satin finish delivers a warm, resonant tone with articulate mids and punchy lows that cut through any musical context. Built in South Korea with bolt-on construction and 35" scale length, this five-string balances ergonomic comfort with sonic depth.
Playability & Feel
The thin 'C' neck shape with measurements of .787" at the 1st fret and .888" at the 12th fret creates a fast, responsive feel without sacrificing support. Abalone 3-piece block inlays mark your position clearly, while the 12" fretboard radius and Graph Tech XL Black Tusq nut ensure consistent action and reliable tuning stability across the neck. Your hand glides through position shifts, and the roasted maple resists moisture swings between gigs.
Tone & Electronics
Dual Schecter MonsterTone pickups—a P-style neck pickup and J-style bridge pickup—give you tonal flexibility from warm, thick low-end to articulate, defined highs. The Volume/Volume/Tone configuration lets you dial in your sound quickly on stage, while the Schecter Custom Bass String Thru bridge with black hardware and WSC KG700 tuners lock in your tuning tight through long sets. This is a gigging rig.
