Sound & Tone
Sound & Tone: The fretless rosewood board and flatwound strings give this five-string a smooth, singing attack with the mwah and vocal glide fretless players chase, while the 35" scale keeps the low B tight and clearly pitched. Mahogany with a bubinga top and neck-through construction lend warmth and long sustain, and the dual EMG 40HZ pickups running on an 18-volt 3-band active EQ add punch, headroom and wide tone-shaping range from the blend control. It suits fusion, jazz, gospel, R&B and modern progressive playing where expressive slides and a clean, articulate low end both matter.
Schecter Stiletto Studio-5 FL Electric Bass Honey Satin
The Stiletto Studio-5 FL is engineered for fretless players who demand precision, responsiveness, and tonal control. Its thin 'C' neck profile and 35" extended scale deliver the intonation accuracy and articulate expression that serious fretless work requires. Neck-through construction with Ultra Access body contour locks in exceptional sustain and upper-fret access, while the Honey Satin finish over mahogany and bubinga pairs visual refinement with a bass built to gig reliably for years.
Playability & Construction
The thin 'C' neck—measuring .787" at the first fret and .866" at the 12th—sits naturally in your hand for lateral movement and pitch control on the fretless rosewood board. The 16" fretboard radius supports both smooth glissandi and locked-in note placement. Neck-through construction bonds the maple/walnut neck directly to the body, creating the solid, direct feel fretless bassists rely on. The 35" scale gives you extended range and articulation without throwing off the instrument's balance or playability.
Tone & Electronics
Dual EMG 40HZ pickups paired with a 3-band active EQ and master volume/blend control give you punchy, articulate response across the full frequency spectrum. The 18-volt active system delivers the aggression and dynamic range you need to cut through on stage or dial in vocal-like expression in the studio. This is the electronics package that lets fretless technique shine—whether you're playing a tight groove or exploring extended techniques.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is this fretless bass suitable for a beginner or intermediate player?
The Stiletto Studio-5 FL is rated for intermediate to advanced players; fretless demands accurate intonation and ear training, so players should already be comfortable with finger placement and pitch control. The thin 'C' neck profile and fretless lines on rosewood support smooth, accurate playing, but starting on fretted bass first is recommended before committing to fretless.
What genres and styles is this bass built for?
This bass excels in studio sessions, jazz, progressive rock, and contemporary R&B where fretless expression and articulate dynamics matter. It is not optimized for punk or traditional blues, which typically favor simpler fretted platforms and different tonal priorities.
What's included with this bass?
The Stiletto Studio-5 FL ships with a set of Ernie Ball 5-string flatwound strings (number 2810) and features a Graph Tech XL Black Tusq nut and Diamond Custom Bass bridge. It does not include a case or gig bag.
How does the 35-inch extended scale affect playability and tone?
The 35-inch scale provides deeper, punchier low-end response and cleaner upper-fret articulation, especially useful on a 5-string where low-B clarity is critical. Combined with the thin 'C' neck and Ultra Access body contour, it keeps the bass ergonomic and balanced for extended sessions without cramping your hand.
What kind of active electronics does this bass have?
The Stiletto Studio-5 FL uses an 18-volt active electronics system with dual EMG 40HZ pickups and a 3-band EQ, plus master volume and blend controls. This delivers extended dynamic range, aggressive tone-shaping, and the cutting presence needed to voice fretless expression clearly in a studio or live mix.
