Sound & Tone
The mahogany body with quilted maple top gives this five-string a warm, weighty foundation with added top-end snap, while the 35" scale keeps the low B tight and clearly pitched rather than loose or muddy. Dual Schecter Diamond Bass pickups run through an active 2-band EQ with blend control, so you can move from focused, punchy bridge tones to fuller neck-pickup lows and dial in cutting highs for slap or fingerstyle articulation. With 24 X-Jumbo frets on a 16"-radius rosewood board and a thin "C" neck, it suits modern rock, metal, funk, gospel and session work where extended range and clean note definition matter.
Schecter Stiletto Extreme-5 Electric Bass See-Thru Black
The Stiletto Extreme-5 is built for the bassist who demands fast, comfortable playing night after night. Its thin "C" neck profile and extended 35" scale length sit perfectly in your hands, while aggressive hardware and solid construction survive the road. The see-thru black finish over quilted maple looks professional on stage and in the studio—understated but unmistakably quality.
Playability & Feel
The thin "C" neck cuts friction across the fretboard, and the 24 X-Jumbo frets on a rosewood fretboard with 16" radius let you lock into fast runs and quick position shifts. The 35" scale tightens string tension for punch and clarity—no flub in a loud band mix. The Graph Tech XL Black Tusq nut holds tuning steady under the demands of a gig, keeping every note defined from the first song to the last.
Tone & Electronics
Dual Schecter Diamond Bass pickups and active 2-band EQ give you real control on stage. Dial in tight, punchy lows or push the highs for articulation and presence in a mix. Master volume and blend control let you shape your sound on the fly, and the 9-volt clip-in battery keeps you ready to play without fussing between sets.
