Sound & Tone
The basswood body with quilted maple top and bolt-on maple neck gives this 34" scale four-string a focused, balanced voice, while dual Schecter Diamond Bass pickups at the neck and bridge cover thick low-end growl through the neck position and tighter, more articulate attack at the bridge. The volume/blend layout with 2-band EQ lets you dial gradually between those poles and shape bass and treble on the fly, from round fingerstyle support to cutting, midrange-forward lines. With 24 frets, a 16" radius rosewood board and .045–.105 strings, it suits rock, metal, funk and session work where upper-register runs and consistent, punchy tone both matter.
Schecter C-4 Plus Bass See Through Cherry Burst
The Schecter C-4 Plus is engineered for session and studio work where comfort translates to take-after-take consistency. Its thin "C"-shaped maple neck and 24 narrow X-jumbo frets minimize finger fatigue during long tracking days, while the 34" scale paired with a 38mm nut width provides plenty of space for precise intonation and articulate note definition. The quilted maple top over a basswood body contributes harmonic character that records clearly and sits well in dense mixes. This is a workhorse four-string built to the specifications that studio musicians and producers rely on for consistent, professional results.
Playability & Construction
The neck geometry supports stamina through extended sessions: 0.787" thickness at the 1st fret tapering to 0.866" at the 12th fret delivers the speed needed for intricate parts without sacrificing the stability required for tight rhythm work. A 2-way adjustable truss rod lets you dial in action and feel to match your tracking style, while the Graph Tech XL Black Tusq nut ensures consistent string response and clean harmonic sustain—essential for layered bass arrangements. Bolt-on construction with chrome hardware keeps the instrument resonant and lightweight, and the 16" fretboard radius balances playability across all four strings for both slapped and fingerstyle recording work.
Tone & Electronics
Twin Schecter Diamond Bass pickups—positioned at bridge and neck—capture definition and punch that translates through recording chains and sits decisively in dense mixes. A dedicated volume/blend control with 2-band EQ gives you real tonal flexibility within a single tracking session, letting you dial from deep, focused lows to articulate, present highs without reaching for outboard gear. The metal dome knobs with set screws lock in your settings reliably across multiple takes, so sonic consistency is maintained from first pass to final layer. This electronics architecture prioritizes clarity and ease of use—the kind of straightforward, dependable control that professionals expect in the studio.
