Description
Sound & Tone
Dual EMG 40HZ pickups running on an 18-volt active system give this five-string a punchy, articulate voice with plenty of headroom, while the 3-band EMG EQ, master volume and blend let you dial anything from deep, focused lows to crisp, cutting highs. The mahogany body with bubinga top and neck-through maple/walnut construction lend warmth and sustain beneath that clarity, and the 34"-36" fanned fret scale keeps the low B tight and defined without stiffening the upper strings. It suits modern rock and metal, funk and slap work, gospel and fusion, and any session context where a bass needs to stay legible in a dense mix.
Schecter Stiletto Studio-5 FF Electric Bass Honey Satin
The Stiletto Studio-5 FF sits beautifully in your hands during long sets, thanks to its ergonomic neck-through design that feels natural across extended playing sessions. Its fanned fret layout accommodates the full 34"-36" scale length, delivering balanced tension and intonation across all five strings while maintaining comfortable ergonomics. The honey satin finish provides both visual warmth and tactile grip—substantial enough to prevent fatigue without unwanted stickiness during demanding work.
Playability & Ergonomics
The thin 'C'-shaped maple/walnut multi-ply neck measures 0.787" at the first fret and 0.866" at the 12th, optimized for speed and control across the rosewood fretboard. 24 X-Jumbo frets with a 16" radius and offset dot inlays ensure precision fingering, while the 1.771" Graph Tech XL Black Tusq nut and fanned fret design maintain consistent playability across the extended range.
Tone & Stage Performance
Dual EMG 40HZ pickups powered by an 18-volt active system deliver punchy, articulate tone with impressive clarity and natural aggression. The Master Volume/Blend and 3-Band EMG Active E/Q controls provide comprehensive shaping from deep lows to crisp highs, cutting through dense mixes in studio and live settings alike.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does the fanned fret design do, and is it hard to adjust to?
Fanned frets span 34–36" scale length, maintaining consistent string tension and intonation across all five strings while reducing hand fatigue. Players typically adapt within a few hours because the ergonomic benefit and tonal clarity reward the small adjustment period.
Is this bass suitable for slap and fingerstyle, or better for one technique?
The Stiletto Studio-5 FF is engineered for both: dual EMG 40HZ pickups deliver the articulate aggression slap technique needs, while the thin 'C' neck profile and fanned frets support precise fingerstyle control across extended range work.
What genres does this bass work best for?
It's designed for funk, progressive, studio sessions, and any style benefiting from extended range and aggressive clarity. It is not optimized for folk or traditional country.
How does the active EQ system work?
The 3-Band EMG Active E/Q with master volume and blend controls lets you shape tone from deep lows to crisp highs using an 18-volt battery system, giving you comprehensive studio-grade tone-shaping both on record and live.
What strings come with it, and what neck width should I expect?
Factory strung with Ernie Ball 5-String Super Long (.045–.130). The Graph Tech XL Black Tusq nut measures 1.771" wide, and the thin 'C' neck measures 0.787" at the first fret and 0.866" at the 12th fret.
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.
