Description
Sound & Tone
The 35" scale and .130 low B give this five-string a tight, well-defined bottom end, while the basswood body and bolt-on maple neck keep the fundamental punchy rather than overly thick. Dual Schecter Diamond Bass pickups with volume, blend and 2-band EQ let you dial from a rounder neck-position tone to a more aggressive bridge bite, with rosewood adding a touch of warmth to note attack. It suits rock, metal and modern pop or worship playing, and the slim neck with 24 frets works equally well for fingerstyle grooves and pick-driven lines.
Schecter C-5 Deluxe Bass in Satin Metallic Light Blue
The C-5 Deluxe is a well-balanced five-string platform designed to track and sit cleanly in a mix. Its slim "C" neck profile and moderate 16" fretboard radius support articulate fingerstyle recording and punchy pick work across a 35" scale. The satin metallic light blue finish provides visual distinction while bolt-on construction yields solid sustain and quick access to upper-fret voicings—assets that matter during layered tracking and session work.
Playability & Recording Comfort
The thin "C" neck measures 0.787" at the first fret and 0.866" at the 12th fret, maintaining comfort during long studio sessions without hand fatigue. A 16" fretboard radius across 24 Narrow X-Jumbo frets on rosewood enables precise string control, smooth bending for expressive takes, and clean chord work in the studio. The Graph Tech XL Black Tusq nut at 45mm width locks in proper string spacing and delivers tuning stability across multiple recording passes.
Tone Shaping & Studio Flexibility
Dual Schecter Diamond Bass pickups (bridge and neck) route through a clean control set: volume, blend, and 2-band EQ. This straightforward signal path lets you dial in punchy fundamentals and articulate note definition on command, supporting multiple sonic approaches within a single session. The Diamond Bass bridge pairs with the electronics to yield focused, drivable tone that records with clarity and depth.
