Sound & Tone
The mahogany body with quilted maple top and 6-bolt bolt-on neck give this five-string a punchy, articulate voice with strong note definition and sustain, while the 35-inch scale keeps the low B tight and focused rather than loose. Dual Diamond pickups run through an active 2-band EQ let you dial from thick, punchy lows to cutting highs, so the bass sits in a mix with clarity without losing warmth. That combination of low-end authority and midrange bite suits metal, punk, fusion and progressive rock, and the thin neck with 24 X-Jumbo frets supports fast lines and passages up high.
Schecter Omen Extreme-5 Bass in Gloss Natural
The Omen Extreme-5 is built for players who demand a responsive instrument that doesn't fight back. The ultra-thin Thin 'C' neck profile and extended 35-inch scale length allow your fingers to move effortlessly across the fretboard for both aggressive passages and subtle dynamics. The mahogany body with quilted maple top paired with bolt-on construction produces a punchy, articulate tone with excellent note definition and sustain. Strap this bass on and it becomes an extension of your body instantly—the kind of five-string workhorse that working musicians and experienced players rely on night after night.
Playability & Feel
The Thin 'C' neck measures 0.787" at the 1st fret and 0.866" at the 12th fret, keeping hand fatigue at bay during extended gigs and studio sessions. The 24 X-Jumbo frets paired with a 16" fretboard radius and Graph Tech XL Black Tusq nut deliver clean intonation and smooth playability across the entire rosewood fingerboard, while the 6-bolt bolt-on construction locks the neck tight for responsive feel that stays consistent through your set.
Tone & Electronics
Dual Diamond pickups paired with an active 2-band EQ let you sculpt your tone on the fly, from punchy lows to articulate highs. The mahogany body with quilted maple top yields balanced harmonic richness that cuts through in a live mix without sacrificing warmth, holding its own in metal, punk, fusion, and progressive rock settings with equal authority.
