Schecter Model-T Session Electric Bass in Aged Natural Satin Finish
Description
Schecter Model-T Session Electric Bass in Aged Natural Satin Finish
The Model-T Session delivers a slim, fast neck profile in a lightweight swamp ash body that sits comfortably across the chest and responds immediately to aggressive playing. This 34-inch scale, bolt-on design balances precision intonation with the resonance and sustain that working musicians depend on. The aged natural satin finish shows the wood grain while resisting fingerprints and daily wear.
Playability & Construction
A thin C-shaped maple neck with graduated thickness (.826" at the first fret, .905" at the twelfth) accommodates both fingerstyle and pick playing without hand fatigue. The 22 Narrow X-Jumbo frets sit on a 12-inch fretboard radius for clean note definition and smooth position shifts, while Grover Vintage Bass 142 tuners lock in stability across all four strings.
Recording & Mixing Performance
Dual EMG active pickups—a J-style bridge pickup and P-style neck pickup—route through a 2-band active EQ (bass and treble) with master volume and blend controls, all powered by an 18-volt battery compartment. This electronics package captures punchy lows, clear mids, and controlled treble, translating directly to tracks with minimal signal loss and maximum clarity through the mixing chain.

Frequently Asked Questions
What skill level is the Model-T Session suited for?

Is this bass good for drop tunings?

What does the Aged Natural Satin finish offer?
The aged natural satin finish reveals the swamp ash wood grain while resisting fingerprints and daily wear, making it practical for touring and studio use without requiring frequent polishing.
How does the neck profile affect playability?
The thin C-shaped maple neck has graduated thickness (0.826 inches at the first fret, 0.905 inches at the twelfth), reducing hand fatigue during long sessions and accommodating both fingerstyle and pick playing across the 12-inch fretboard radius.
