Description
Schecter Stiletto Studio-5 Electric Bass in See-Thru Black Satin
The Stiletto Studio-5 is engineered for tracking sessions and mix-ready recordings with its Thin "C" profile neck and neck-thru construction with ultra access, supporting both long overdub passes and precise single-take captures. The 35" scale length and 24 X-jumbo frets unlock extended range for diverse bass lines and tonal exploration across the fingerboard. This five-string machine pairs striking aesthetics—finished in See-Thru Black Satin with black chrome hardware—with extensive tonal shaping via dual EMG 40HZ pickups and active electronics that sit cleanly in any mix.
Build & Construction
Neck-thru mahogany body with a flamed maple top delivers solid resonance and sustain that translates well to recording chains, while the maple/walnut multi-ply neck resists warping and maintains stable tuning through long studio sessions and the extended 35" scale. Black chrome hardware and the Schecter Diamond Custom Bass bridge provide both reliable performance and visual cohesion in the studio.
Playability & Tone
The rosewood fingerboard with abalone offset dot inlays combined with a 16" fretboard radius enables smooth, accurate fretting during tight takes, while EMG 40HZ pickups paired with a 3-band active EQ and blend control deliver articulate, focused bass tones with full sculpting capability for layering and arrangement work. The Graph Tech XL Black Tusq nut and 2-way adjustable truss rod maintain stable intonation and neck relief across sessions, ensuring repeatable, reliable performance.
