Description
Sound & Tone
The 35" scale and string-thru Schecter bridge give the low B tight, articulate definition, while the mahogany body and set-neck construction add warmth and long sustain under an ebony fretboard's crisp attack. Active EMG 40DC and 40P5 pickups push punchy, midrange-forward output with plenty of headroom, and the two-band EQ plus blend control lets you dial in anything from rounded fingerstyle warmth to aggressive, cutting bite. It suits modern rock, metal, prog, and slap or fingerstyle players who need clarity across five strings.
Schecter C-5 GT Bass Natural B-Stock
The C-5 GT is a session-ready five-string that locks in articulate low-end definition with its thin "C" neck profile and 35" extended scale—essential for modern production work where bass clarity cuts through dense mixes. This unplayed B-stock example shows only light cosmetic scratches on the fretboard—a genuine value on a solidly built instrument. The mahogany body with flamed maple top combines tonal warmth with visual presence, while the set-neck construction ensures sustain and stability across all registers.
Playability & Feel
The three-piece maple neck with thin "C" profile measures 0.787" at the first fret and 0.866" at the twelfth, providing comfortable fretting-hand access without sacrificing strength. The 35" scale paired with 24 extra-jumbo frets and a 16" fretboard radius creates responsive action across the entire neck, while the Graph Tech XL Black Tusq nut at 1.771" width accommodates clean string spacing for a five-string configuration. This setup minimizes hand fatigue during long tracking sessions and punch-in work.
Recording Tone & Active Electronics
The EMG 40DC bridge pickup and EMG 40P5 neck pickup deliver punchy attack and articulate midrange definition, shaped by a two-band EMG EQ and volume/blend control for precise tone sculpting between takes and across multiple session songs. The Schecter Custom Bass Bridge with string-thru design optimizes resonance and sustain, while the 9-volt battery compartment powers the active preamp for consistent output across dynamic playing styles and overdub passes.
