Sound & Tone
The swamp ash body with figured poplar burl top and 35" scale give this five-string a tight, focused low end and a clear fundamental on the B string, while the ebony fingerboard and bolt-on maple neck keep notes articulate and snappy. The Schecter USA M-50 and P-50 pickup pairing covers growling single-coil bite and thicker split-coil midrange, and the 18v Darkglass Tone Capsule preamp lets you sculpt bass, mid and upper-mid contours for anything from aggressive attack to warm, rounded lows. It sits well with metal and progressive rock players who need clarity under distortion, and equally with funk and jazz fusion lines that rely on punchy mids and quick response across 24 frets.
Schecter Reaper-5 Lefty Electric Bass Natural Satin
This left-handed Schecter Reaper-5 sits perfectly in the hands during long sets, its contoured body and buttery smooth satin finish reducing fatigue across extended playing sessions. The thin "C" maple neck with walnut stringers and carbon fiber reinforcement carves through your hand with precision, while the 35" scale and 24 jumbo frets provide the reach and speed demanded by modern bass lines. Plugged in, the tone cuts through any mix with clarity—tight low-end punch and snappy mids respond beautifully across genres from metal and progressive rock to funk and jazz fusion, holding its own in any live context.
Playability & Feel
The thin "C" neck profile with maple and walnut construction reinforced by 2 carbon fiber rods provides both speed and stability under your fingers, while the 35" scale length extends your range without sacrificing comfort on the stage. The ebony fingerboard with 24 jumbo frets and 16" radius enables precise articulation across the entire neck, and the Graph Tech XL Black Tusq nut (45mm) ensures consistent string response from the headstock forward through demanding live performances.
Tone & Electronics
The dual Schecter USA M-50 and P-50 pickups paired with the Darkglass Tone Capsule 18v EQ system give you comprehensive tonal shaping via master volume, blend control, and dedicated bass/mid/upper-mid contour knobs. This active electronics setup delivers articulate, punchy response with exceptional clarity and the ability to dial in everything from aggressive attack to warm, rounded lows—reliable and responsive night after night.

Frequently Asked Questions
What makes this bass suited for left-handed players?
This is a purpose-built left-handed configuration with all hardware, pickups, and controls mirrored for comfortable left-hand fretting. Every component—from the Graph Tech nut to the TonePros tuners and Schecter bridge—is positioned and oriented for lefty players.
How does the 35-inch scale length affect playability and tone?
The 35" scale extends your range and tightens low-end response compared to standard 34" basses, while the thin "C" neck profile prevents the extra length from feeling unwieldy. This combination delivers modern punch and articulation without sacrificing comfort during long playing sessions.
What can the Darkglass Tone Capsule EQ actually do?
The 18v active system provides master volume, blend control, and dedicated bass, mid, and upper-mid contour knobs, letting you shape anything from aggressive attack to warm lows. This versatility works across metal, progressive, funk, and jazz fusion without requiring external gear to dial in your voice.
Is this bass good for genres beyond metal and progressive?
Yes—the Reaper-5 excels in funk, jazz fusion, and any style requiring articulate, punchy tone. The dual Schecter pickups and active EQ are designed for versatility, and the snappy mids and clarity work equally well in round, groove-oriented applications.
What pickups and hardware are included?
The bass ships with dual Schecter USA M-50 and P-50 pickups, a Graph Tech XL Black Tusq nut, TonePros M Series tuners, and a Schecter Diamond Custom bridge with string-thru or top-load capability. All hardware supports both tuning stability and tonal character.
