Description
Sound & Tone
Dual EMG 40HZ pickups running through an 18-volt 3-band active EQ and blend control give this five-string a punchy, articulate voice with plenty of headroom, while the mahogany body, flamed maple top and neck-thru maple/walnut neck add resonance and long sustain. The 35" scale keeps the low B tight and defined, and the rosewood fingerboard with a 16" radius and 24 X-jumbo frets supports clean upper-register work. It suits rock, metal, funk and modern fingerstyle or slap playing where a focused low end and on-the-fly tone shaping matter, in the studio or on stage.
Schecter Stiletto Studio-5 Electric Bass in See-Thru Black Satin
The Stiletto Studio-5 sits in your hands with a Thin "C" profile neck that rewards hours of playing, while its neck-thru construction with ultra access keeps upper-fret work effortless during gigs and rehearsals. The 35" scale length and 24 X-jumbo frets give you extended range without sacrificing speed or comfort across the board. This five-string machine cuts an aggressive silhouette—See-Thru Black Satin finish with black chrome hardware—while the dual EMG 40HZ pickups and active electronics guarantee the tonal punch and shaping you need to sit tight in any mix.
Build & Construction
Neck-thru mahogany body with a flamed maple top delivers the sustain and resonance that carries through a venue, while the maple/walnut multi-ply neck stays rock-solid under the tension of the extended 35" scale. Black chrome hardware and the Schecter Diamond Custom Bass bridge lock in your tuning and feel built to tour.
Playability & Tone
The rosewood fingerboard with abalone offset dot inlays combined with a 16" fretboard radius curves naturally under your fingers for smooth, consistent fretting feel, while EMG 40HZ pickups paired with a 3-band active EQ and blend control let you dial in articulate, punchy tones with complete command over your sound. The Graph Tech XL Black Tusq nut and 2-way adjustable truss rod keep intonation tight and neck relief stable through years of gigs and studio sessions.

Frequently Asked Questions
What skill level is this bass suited for?
The Stiletto Studio-5 is designed for intermediate, advanced, and professional players. Its fast X-jumbo frets, extended 35" scale, and active electronics reward technical playing and tonal experimentation.
What genres is this bass built for?
This bass excels in funk, progressive, and modern studio styles. The articulate EMG pickups and punchy active tone-shaping make it less suited for folk and country applications.
How does the neck feel, and will it stay stable?
The slim Thin "C" profile neck is comfortable for extended play sessions, and the maple/walnut multi-ply construction resists warping to maintain stable intonation. The 16" fretboard radius and rosewood fingerboard provide smooth, confident fretting geometry.
What tone-shaping options does this bass offer?
Dual EMG 40HZ pickups are paired with a 3-band active EQ, master volume, and blend circuit, giving you full control over your tonal character from articulate highs to aggressive low-end punch.
How does the Stiletto Studio-5 compare to other five-strings in this range?
The Schecter combines neck-thru construction and active EMG electronics similar to the Ibanez SR1305E and Spector Legend 5, but offers the Stiletto's distinctive aggressive aesthetics and refined tonal versatility at a mid-tier price point.
Do I pay sales tax on this order?
Sales tax is collected only on orders shipped to California; orders shipped to any other US state are not charged sales tax at checkout when you buy direct from our website. At a typical 7% rate that is an estimated $87 less at checkout than the same listed price on a marketplace, which collects sales tax as the facilitator in most states. Buyers remain responsible for any use tax their state applies. Free US shipping and 30-day returns are included.
