Frequently asked questions
What is the main difference between these two basses?
The Stiletto Stealth-5 Pro is a right-handed 5-string bass with a low B, while the Stiletto Stealth-4 Pro EX Lefty is a left-handed 4-string bass. Both share the same 35-inch scale length, thin C-shaped neck, and EMG electronics but serve different player needs.
Are the electronics and tone character the same?
Both use identical EMG MMCS bridge and EMG P neck pickups paired with 2-band active EQ. The 5-string offers extended sustain via neck-through construction, while the 4-string emphasizes punchy growl and presence suited to metal and funk.
Which is better for funk and metal?
The 4-string Lefty is explicitly tailored for funk and metal with its aggressive tone character. The 5-string Pro covers funk but is positioned more toward progressive and studio work; metal players typically prefer 4-strings for tighter response.
Should I choose the 5-string for more versatility?
The 5-string provides extended range and is marketed as more versatile across genres. However, if you play left-handed, only the 4-string Lefty is available to you; handedness takes priority over string count.
