Schecter Riot-5 Electric Bass Satin Inferno Burst B-Stock 2751
Description
Schecter Riot-5 Electric Bass Satin Inferno Burst B-Stock
The Riot-5 sits perfectly in the mix as a versatile five-string tracking tool. Its thin "C" neck contour and 35" extended scale support fluid session work—whether recording intricate low-end lines or anchoring the bottom end across multiple takes. Built on a swamp ash body with burl maple top, this bass couples sonic character with refined aesthetics in satin inferno burst finish. This B-stock example is in excellent overall condition with minor cosmetic wear, making it an outstanding value.
Playability & Tracking Performance
The bolt-on maple/walnut multi-ply neck paired with an ebony fingerboard establishes a stable, repeatable platform across extended sessions and overdubs. Twenty-four X-Jumbo frets and a 16-inch fretboard radius enable consistent intonation and smooth finger movement during punch-ins and complex arrangements, while the 45mm Graph Tech XL Black Tusq nut maintains clear, articulate tone from the open position through every take.
Tone Shaping & Studio Electronics
EMG's 40JX-CS bridge and 40PX-CS neck pickups capture punchy, defined bass frequencies with excellent clarity across the full five-string range—ideal for layering takes or switching between tonal characters within a session. The EMG-B30 3-band active EQ with master volume and blend controls provides real-time mixing flexibility in the studio: dial in scooped lows for pocket-heavy grooves or aggressive mids for cutting through dense arrangements, all powered by a reliable 9-volt clip-in battery system.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does B-Stock mean, and will it affect playability or tone?
B-Stock means this Riot-5 is fully functional with minor cosmetic wear from warehouse exposure—scratches or marks on the finish only. Playability, tone, and structural integrity are completely unaffected, and it maintains full manufacturer warranty coverage.
Is this bass suitable for drop tunings and extended-range work?
Yes. The 35-inch extended scale, EMG 40JX-CS and 40PX-CS pickups, and EMG-B30 3-band active EQ are all optimized for lower tunings and technical extended-range playing. The punchy, articulate output with scooped low-end is specifically voiced for aggressive styles.
How does the neck feel, and what skill level does it suit?
The thin "C" contour (.787" at the 1st fret) and fast ebony fingerboard make it highly responsive for intermediate to professional players. Twenty-four X-Jumbo frets and a 16-inch radius support smooth lateral movement and precise intonation across all registers.
What tone shaping capability does the active EQ provide?
The EMG-B30 3-band active EQ with master volume and blend controls lets you dial from scooped low-end punch to aggressive midrange cut, giving comprehensive shaping for studio and live settings. The system runs on a 9-volt clip-in battery.
How does this compare to the Ibanez SR1305 or Yamaha TRBX505?
The Riot-5 emphasizes punchy, aggressive midrange and note definition through its EMG active electronics, while offering a thinner neck profile and swamp ash/burl maple construction for a more refined aesthetic. Comparing to SR or TRBX models depends on whether you prioritize scooped tone shaping or different pickup voicings.
