Schecter Session Stiletto-4 Electric Bass Aged Natural Satin B-Stock
Description
Schecter Session Stiletto-4 Electric Bass Aged Natural Satin B-Stock
This Stiletto-4 sits naturally in the hands with its 'C'-shaped maple neck and 34" scale, enabling players to navigate complex lines with precision and fluidity. The Aged Natural Satin finish reveals the beautiful grain of the swamp ash body, while the bolt-on construction ensures responsive articulation and sustain that cuts through dense mixes. Note: This is B-stock with a minor scratch on the back of the neck—a cosmetic issue that does not affect playability or sound.
Playability & Build
The neck measures .826" at the first fret and .905" at the 12th fret, striking a comfortable balance for extended tracking sessions. 24 Narrow X-Jumbo frets paired with a 12" fretboard radius support clean, fast intonation across the fingerboard, essential for layering bass parts with accuracy. The Graph Tech XL Black Tusq nut (1.496" width) maintains consistent string definition and spacing, while ebony side block inlays provide clear visual reference points during recording and live performance.
Recording & Tone Shaping
The 18-volt active electronics system houses dual EMG-designed pickups—EMG 35J at the neck and EMG 35DC at the bridge—capturing articulate transients and extended low-end detail with controlled punch. A 3-band active EQ with master volume and blend controls allows precise tone sculpting in the mix: shape low-end weight, focus midrange presence, and dial in high-end clarity to sit perfectly alongside other instruments in your session.
