Sound & Tone
The mahogany body with flamed maple top gives this five-string a warm, weighty foundation, while the ebony fretboard and 35" scale tighten up the low B for clear, focused definition rather than boom. Active EMG 40DC and 40P5 pickups with a 2-band EQ and blend control push punchy mids and a tight, modern low end, sitting well in dense mixes for metal, hard rock, and progressive playing. Set-neck construction with a string-through bridge adds sustain, and the 24 extra jumbo frets on a 16" radius suit fast lines, slap, and tapping across the full range.
Schecter C-5 GT Bass Natural B-Stock 0008
This unplayed C-5 GT delivers a slim, comfortable neck profile that sits naturally in the hand—the thin "C" shape and moderate thickness (.787" at the first fret, .866" at the 12th) make it accessible for extended sessions without fatigue. The 35" scale and set-neck construction with Ultra Access provide solid body-to-neck connection while allowing easy reach to upper frets. A slight indentation at the bottom of the neck is visible, but the bass remains in excellent, unplayed condition—a significant value for a five-string of this caliber.
Build & Tonal Foundation
Mahogany body with flamed maple top and black 1-ply binding establish a warm, resonant core that translates cleanly to tape and digital recording. The 3-piece maple neck with ebony fretboard and offset/reverse Roman numeral inlays exhibits quality materials throughout. 24 extra jumbo frets on a 16" radius support articulate playing and pitch precision across the neck, while the Graph Tech Black Tusq XL nut (1.771" width) ensures clear string definition and reliable tuning stability via Schecter tuners.
Electronics & Sonic Character
The EMG 40DC bridge pickup and EMG 40P5 neck pickup pair with a 2-band EMG EQ and volume/blend control to shape articulate, modern bass tones with punchy mids and tight low-end response that sits well in mixed arrangements. A 9-volt clip-in battery compartment powers the active electronics, while the Schecter custom bass bridge with string-through design and black hardware maximize sustain and tonal transmission for focused, defined recordings.

What is the scale length, and will it suit my playing style?
The C-5 GT features a 35" scale, which is standard for professional 5-string basses and supports aggressive playing styles, complex fingering, and sustained note clarity. The 24 extra jumbo frets on a 16" radius accommodate both picking and slap techniques.
