Schecter C-4 Deluxe Bass Satin White
Description
Schecter C-4 Deluxe Bass Satin White
The Schecter C-4 Deluxe is engineered to sit tight in any session mix, delivering articulate lows and defined mids that punch through without muddiness. The thin "C"-shaped maple neck responds immediately to your technique, enabling precise note clarity and fast articulation across the fretboard. The active 2-band EQ and dual Schecter Diamond Bass pickups provide excellent tonal shaping—from warm, vintage character to punchy, modern aggression—giving you the frequency control needed to sculpt your tone within the context of full arrangements.
Playability & Construction
The bolt-on maple neck features a thin "C" profile measuring 0.787" at the 1st fret and 0.866" at the 12th fret, paired with a 16" radius rosewood fretboard and 24 narrow X-Jumbo frets for fast, comfortable playing across the 34" scale length. A Graph Tech XL Black Tusq nut (38mm width) and 2-way adjustable truss rod ensure stable intonation and playability, while Schecter tuners and a Diamond Bass bridge deliver reliable tuning stability and sustain.
Tone & Electronics
The Schecter Diamond Bass pickups at bridge and neck positions feed into active Volume/Blend/2-Band EQ controls, giving you precise tonal sculpting across the frequency spectrum without fighting the instrument's natural character. Metal dome knobs with set screws ensure your settings stay locked in during intense playing sessions.
