Description
Schecter dUg Pinnick DP-12 String Lefty Bass Satin Black
The dUg Pinnick DP-12 brings extended harmonic range and left-handed accessibility to the studio, delivering articulate 12-string bass tones via Seymour Duncan active electronics and a mahogany body engineered for precision recording. The thin 'C' neck profile and ebony fretboard enable fast, comfortable tracking across complex arrangements, while the three-piece maple neck with carbon fiber reinforcement maintains intonation stability under session demands. Factory setup ensures immediate tracking readiness.
Recording & Build Quality
The three-piece maple neck with carbon fiber reinforcement rods maintains structural integrity while the thin 'C' shape and 16" fretboard radius facilitate smooth position shifts across 22 X-Jumbo frets. A 34" scale with graphite nut (52mm width) and Grover tuners ensure stable intonation, while Luminlay glow-in-the-dark side dot markers provide visibility during low-light playing—complemented by pearloid dot inlays with a DUg logo at the 12th fret.
Tone Shaping & Electronics
The Seymour Duncan Pro Active APB-1 pickup paired with a 2-band active EQ (STC-2S-B0) delivers responsive midrange and treble control for sculpting 12-string bass character in the mix, powered by a 9-volt clip-in battery compartment for consistent output during extended sessions. The Schecter Custom Bass bridge with bolt-on mahogany body construction yields focused low-end definition suitable for fingerstyle and pick articulation across all 12 strings, supporting both rhythmic pocket and melodic layering in production.
