Description
Schecter Stiletto Studio-4 Electric Bass Honey Satin
The Stiletto Studio-4 sits perfectly in your hands with its thin 'C' profile neck and 24 X-Jumbo frets across a 34" scale—built for speed and precision when you're deep in a set. The neck-through construction with ultra access gives you full command of the upper register without compromise, while the Honey Satin finish delivers warm character that holds up night after night on stage. This is a serious working bass engineered for session work, studio recording, and gigging musicians who demand responsive feel and consistent performance.
Playability & Build
The Maple/Walnut multi-ply neck with Graph Tech XL Black Tusq nut and 2-way adjustable truss rod locks in stability for the fretboard's 16" radius and 24 X-Jumbo frets. The thin 'C' neck shape—measuring .787" at the 1st fret and .866" at the 12th fret—cuts through fatigue during long sets and opens up rapid position changes and cross-string technique, while the abalone offset dot inlays and Schecter tuners give you a pro-level instrument you'll trust in any room.
Tone & Electronics
Dual EMG 35HZ pickups paired with 3-Band EMG Active EQ and master volume/blend controls cut through a mix with modern clarity and punch—the 18-volt system gives you extended headroom to shape articulate tones across the frequency spectrum whether you're laying down session work or anchoring a live band. The Diamond Custom Bass bridge and Bubinga top over mahogany body deliver focused midrange and defined sustain that only neck-through construction can provide, keeping your sound locked and present.

This profile facilitates rapid position changes and cross-string technique, making it well-suited for intermediate, advanced, and professional players; beginners may prefer a thicker, more forgiving neck profile.
How does the active EQ system work, and what kind of tonal range can I achieve?
The bass features a 3-Band EMG Active EQ powered by an 18-volt system that delivers modern clarity, articulate cut, and focused midrange with extended headroom across the frequency spectrum. The master volume and blend controls allow you to shape tone from tight, punchy funk cuts to fuller, sustained notes for studio sessions.
What is the scale length and fret count?

Is this bass suitable for traditional jazz?
No; the Stiletto Studio-4 is engineered for modern styles such as funk, contemporary session work, and live performance where articulate cut and active-electronics flexibility are priorities. Traditional jazz players typically favor passive electronics and warmer, more vintage-voiced instruments.
What hardware and construction details ensure durability for gigging and touring?
The bass features neck-through construction for maximum stability, a Graph Tech XL Black Tusq nut, Diamond Custom Bass bridge with satin gold hardware, and Schecter tuners—all professional-grade components designed to withstand frequent setup changes, road wear, and the demands of consistent touring and session work.
