Frequently asked questions
Which bass is better for jazz?
The C-5 GT is specifically listed for jazz and progressive music, while the P-4 Exotic is not recommended for traditional jazz. The C-5's dynamic range and articulate highs suit jazz requirements better.
What's the main playability difference?
Both have fast, slim neck profiles, but the P-4 features a thin 'C' profile on a 16" radius with 21 Narrow Extra Jumbo frets, while the C-5 GT emphasizes ergonomic body contouring and weight distribution for five-string extended playing.
Why is the C-5 GT cheaper if both are mid-tier?
The C-5 GT is B-stock, meaning it's a returned or display unit with full functionality and professional-grade construction but sold at a discount. The P-4 Exotic is new retail inventory with premium wood appointments.
Can a four-string player transition to the C-5 GT?
Yes, Schecter designed the C-5 GT specifically to accommodate four-string converts with its slim neck and ergonomic body, though you'll need to adjust to the five-string configuration and extended low B.
