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
Is the 30-inch scale and slim neck comfortable for extended playing sessions?
Yes, the Thin C-neck profile is engineered for hand comfort and fatigue reduction, with first-fret thickness of 0.787" and twelfth-fret thickness of 0.866" to optimize upper-fret access. The 3-piece maple neck with carbon fiber reinforcement rods provides stability across the extended 30" scale without added weight or neck strain.
Can I blend and switch between pickup configurations live or in the studio?
The three Seymour Duncan SJAG pickups each have independent on-off slider switches, letting you select any combination of bridge, middle, and neck pickups on the fly. This gives you control over tone density and articulation without rewiring or channel changes.
What tonal character should I expect from this bass?
The combination of mahogany body with set-neck construction, Seymour Duncan SJAG pickups, and TonePros bridge with custom brass saddles delivers articulate, controlled output with resonant sustain. It suits progressive and extended-range styles best, with the flexible pickup selection allowing everything from tight modern punch to fuller, rounder tones.
What skills or experience level is this bass designed for?
This is an intermediate-to-professional instrument best suited for players comfortable with extended-range bass and modern playing techniques. The 24 X-Jumbo frets and precise intonation support advanced fretboard work, though the ergonomic design makes it accessible to intermediate players ready to expand their range.
What strings come with it, and are they suitable for the 30-inch scale?
The bass ships with Ernie Ball Hellcat VI Custom strings (90-75-56-44-34-24) optimized for the 30-inch scale. These gauges and construction are matched to the instrument's tuning stability and tonal profile.
