Description
Sound & Tone
Tuned as a Bass VI-style instrument on a 30" scale with heavy Ernie Ball Hellcat VI strings, this Schecter sits between guitar and bass, producing a taut, growling low end with enough string definition for chords and single-note lines to stay clear. The three Seymour Duncan SJAG single-coils bring bright, wiry attack and midrange bite, and the three on-off slider switches allow blended combinations from thick neck warmth to cutting bridge twang, while the mahogany body with set-neck construction and TonePros brass saddles adds weight and sustain underneath. It suits post-punk, goth and alternative rhythm work, baritone-register melodies, surf and spy-style lines, and studio players wanting low-end texture that still articulates.
Schecter Robert Smith UltraCure VI Electric Guitar Silver Burst Pearl
The UltraCure VI sits naturally in the hand with its slim Thin "C" neck profile, delivering a comfortable, controlled playing experience across its extended 30" scale. The mahogany body with set-neck construction and Ultra Access cutaway opens up the upper frets for seamless access, while the Silver Burst Pearl finish commands attention on any stage. Built for players who demand extended range and articulate tone without compromise on ergonomic playability.
Playability & Build Quality
Neck stability across the extended scale comes from 3-piece maple construction with carbon fiber reinforcement rods. The 24 X-Jumbo frets on a rosewood fretboard with Mother of Pearl block inlays lock in precise intonation and reward smooth, expressive lateral work, while the Graph Tech XL Black Tusq nut at 1.653" width keeps tuning rock-solid through a full set. The thin profile measures 0.787" at the first fret and 0.866" at the twelfth fret—dimensions that minimize hand fatigue and maximize reach during long gigs and sessions.
Electronics & Tone
Three Seymour Duncan SJAG pickups—bridge (SJAG-1B), middle (SJAG-1M), and neck (SJAG-1N)—capture articulate, controlled output with three on-off slider switches for fast pickup selection on the fly. The TonePros bridge system with custom brass saddles anchors stable intonation and resonant sustain, while volume and tone controls with metal knurled knobs deliver responsive tactile feedback and reliability you can count on night after night.

Frequently Asked Questions
What scale length and string gauges come with this bass?
The UltraCure VI features a 30-inch extended-range scale length and includes Ernie Ball Hellcat VI Custom strings tuned 90-75-56-44-34-24 from low to high.
How do the three Seymour Duncan SJAG pickups work?
Each of the three pickups (bridge, middle, neck) has an independent on-off slider switch, allowing you to blend or isolate any combination for flexible tonal shaping from articulate to warm and resonant.
Is this bass comfortable for long playing sessions?
Yes—the neck features carbon fiber reinforcement, a Thin C-profile, and an Ultra Access cutaway designed to reduce fatigue during extended play, while precise neck measurements (0.787 inches at the first fret, 0.866 inches at the twelfth) optimize hand access to upper frets.
What construction and hardware stabilize tuning and intonation?
The bass uses a TonePros bridge system with custom brass saddles, a Graph Tech XL Black Tusq nut (1.653 inches wide), Hipshot Grip-Lock tuners, and a 3-piece maple neck with carbon fiber rods to ensure stable intonation and sustain across the extended scale.
What genres and playing styles is this bass best suited for?
The UltraCure VI excels in progressive, funk, and studio session work where articulate tone, tonal flexibility, and extended-range capability are valued; it is not optimized for punk or country styles.
Do I pay sales tax on this order?

At a typical 7% rate that is an estimated $88 less at checkout than the same listed price on a marketplace, which collects sales tax as the facilitator in most states.
