Description
Sound & Tone
The Model-T Session-5 delivers thick, punchy low end with articulate mids that push through a dense mix, and the five-string range extends that low reach for heavier and more exploratory writing. Its dual active pickups cover a wide span, from aggressive, hard-hitting attack to smoother rounded tones that settle into the pocket, and the bass tracks touch and dynamics closely. That combination suits modern rock, metal, funk, and progressive players who need both technical clarity and steady groove work.
Schecter Model-T Session-5 Bass in Aged Natural Satin
The Model-T Session-5 is a versatile 5-string platform built for session and gigging players who demand clarity, sustain, and tonal flexibility in a compact footprint. This bass pairs a lightweight swamp ash body with active EMG electronics and a carbon-reinforced maple neck, delivering punchy lows and articulate highs across multiple genres.
Tone and Electronics
The dual-pickup setup—EMG P5 neck pickup and EMG LJ bridge pickup—feeds into a 2-band active EQ with master volume and blend controls, giving you sculpted low-end response and responsive midrange shaping. The 18-volt active system ensures consistent output and headroom whether laying down pocket grooves or cutting through a dense mix.
Playability and Build
A thin 'C' neck profile measuring .826" at the first fret and .905" at the 12th fret, paired with a 12" fretboard radius, creates a comfortable fast-playing surface for both fingerstyle and slap techniques. The 35" scale provides extended low-end definition while maintaining familiar string spacing, and the maple neck with carbon fiber reinforcement rods resists neck dive and delivers stable intonation under stage conditions.

Is the carbon-reinforced neck stable for touring and gigging?
Yes—the maple neck with carbon fiber reinforcement rods resists neck dive and delivers stable intonation under stage conditions, making it reliable for both rehearsal and touring. The 2-way adjustable truss rod also allows for ongoing setup maintenance.
What is the scale length and will it work for extended low tunings?
The Model-T Session-5 has a 35" scale length (889mm), which provides extended low-end definition while maintaining familiar string spacing. This longer scale supports both standard and lower tunings without mud or loss of clarity.
What finish and build style does this bass have?
The body is lightweight swamp ash finished in Aged Natural Satin with a bolt-on neck construction. The Aged Natural Satin finish develops a weathered appearance over time while the swamp ash keeps the instrument light for extended playing sessions.
Do I pay sales tax on this order?
Sales tax is collected only on orders shipped to California; orders shipped to any other US state are not charged sales tax at checkout when you buy direct from our website. At a typical 7% rate that is an estimated $70 less at checkout than the same listed price on a marketplace, which collects sales tax as the facilitator in most states. Buyers remain responsible for any use tax their state applies. Free US shipping and 30-day returns are included.
