Schecter C-4 Standard Electric Bass Tobacco Burl
The Schecter C-4 Standard sits comfortably in extended sessions with a thin "C" neck profile that balances comfort with stability, offering smooth playability across its 24 jumbo frets.

The striking tobacco burl top makes this bass a visual statement without sacrificing the sonic characteristics serious recording professionals demand.
Build & Tone Character
Mahogany body construction with a figured burl top creates rich resonance and enhanced sustain across the low end, translating to solid fundamental capture in recordings. The roasted maple neck paired with a rosewood fretboard and bolt-on construction ensures stable intonation and a smooth, fast playing surface that captures consistent tone through takes and develops character over time.
Playability & Recording Flexibility
A 16" fretboard radius and thin "C" neck profile make fretting intuitive and bending natural, while the 38mm graphite nut locks in tuning stability across recording sessions. Dual Schecter Diamond Standard Soapbar pickups with independent volume and tone controls per pickup give you the flexibility to shape aggressive lows, punchy mids, and articulate highs, allowing quick tonal adjustments during layering and mix-ready tracking.
