Schecter C-4 Deluxe Bass Satin Metallic Light Blue
Description
Schecter C-4 Deluxe Bass Satin Metallic Light Blue
The C-4 Deluxe is engineered for studio tracking and mixing sessions with a thin C-profile neck and 34" scale that promotes fast, articulate fingerwork across extended recording takes. The satin metallic light blue finish reflects clean, neutral light in studio environments while maintaining the instrument's professional construction standards. This solidly-built bass delivers active electronics and comprehensive tone-shaping controls in a lightweight, ergonomic design that reduces fatigue during long production days.
Playability & Build
The maple neck with rosewood fretboard and 24 narrow X-jumbo frets on a 16" radius support precise intonation and rapid melodic passage execution in overdub-heavy sessions. The bolt-on basswood body with chrome hardware and Graph Tech XL Black Tusq nut sized at 38mm contribute to consistent sustain and stable tuning across multiple takes, while the instrument's minimal weight of just 7 lbs 6 oz allows comfortable positioning for hours of seated recording work without physical strain.
Tone & Electronics
Dual Schecter Diamond Bass pickups paired with active electronics and volume/blend/2-band EQ controls allow comprehensive tone sculpting from warm, focused lows to articulate, defined mids and highs—essential for sitting precisely in a crowded mix. The Diamond Bass bridge provides tight coupling for controlled note definition and decay, while the 2-way adjustable truss rod enables fine-tuning neck relief to maintain consistent action and response across varying recording techniques and session demands.
