Schecter P-4 Exotic Bass Faded Vintage Sunburst

The P-4 Exotic Bass sits in the hands with a thin, fast-playing neck that rewards precision and endurance through long sets. The resonant Swamp Ash body with Zebrawood top delivers punchy articulation that cuts through a mix without fatiguing your technique. Premium tonewoods and active electronics combine to give you a stage-ready instrument that performs night after night. The Faded Vintage Sunburst finish showcases the natural grain of the body while maintaining the visual presence every working bassist needs on stage.

Playability & Build

The Roasted Maple neck with carbon fiber reinforcement stays straight under tour schedules and humidity changes, while enhancing tonal clarity in every register. The comfortable thin "C" profile sits naturally whether you're locking into fast runs or laying down melodic passages. 21 Narrow Extra Jumbo frets on a 16" radius fretboard give you quick string access and dead-on intonation when you need it most. The Graph Tech XL Black Tusq nut keeps strings seated reliably and preserves tonal clarity through every performance. The 34" scale length delivers the familiar four-string bass feel with balanced tension that lets you dial in your technique without fighting the instrument.

Tone & Electronics

The EMG Metal Works P pickup produces a cutting, articulate tone engineered to sit in a mix and hold its own on any stage. An active 2-band EMG EQ lets you shape low-end punch and high-end definition on the fly between songs or during a set. The Schecter High Mass Bass Bridge with string-thru or top-load configuration maximizes sustain and keeps tuning locked in under the demands of live play. WSC KG400 tuners hold their settings tight, keeping the bass performance-ready through every gig.
