Frequently asked questions
What is the main difference between these two basses?
The Extreme-5 is a right-handed 5-string with a 35-inch scale, while the Extreme-4 LH is a left-handed 4-string with a 34-inch scale. The 5-string offers an extended low B; the 4-string is built for left-handed players.
Which bass is better for funk and progressive music?
The Extreme-5 is listed as ideal for funk and progressive work, with its extended range and articulate highs. The Extreme-4 LH is better suited for funk and rock but lacks the extra range of a 5-string.
What is the scale length difference, and why does it matter?
The Extreme-5 has a 35-inch scale, while the Extreme-4 LH has a 34-inch scale. Longer scales provide tighter low-end response and clearer extended range, while shorter scales feel faster to play. The choice depends on your playing style and hand span.
Are the electronics the same on both models?
Both basses feature Schecter Diamond Bass humbucking pickups and an active 2-band EQ with volume, blend, and bass/treble controls, powered by a 9-volt battery. Tone shaping capability is identical.
