Description
Schecter C-5 GT Bass Natural B-Stock
The Schecter C-5 GT is a 5-string bass engineered to capture articulate, modern tone in the studio while maintaining the ergonomic design and extended low-end definition required for contemporary bass tracking. Its thin "C" neck profile and 35" scale deliver responsive playability across long session work without sacrificing harmonic clarity on the bottom end. This B-stock example offers full specifications at a reduced price point.
Recording Playability & Neck Feel
The set-neck construction with Ultra Access cutaway provides comfortable reach to all 24 extra-jumbo frets during overdubs and layering, while the thin "C" profile maintains precision and speed across extended takes. The 35" scale combined with a Graph Tech Black Tusq XL nut and ebony fretboard with offset reverse Roman numeral inlays produces a bass that captures both traditional resonance and modern clarity in the mix.
Tone & Signal Path
Dual EMG pickups—the EMG 40DC bridge and EMG 40P5 neck—deliver the articulate, controlled output essential for studio recording and post-production flexibility. The 2-band EMG EQ provides tracking-ready tonal shaping without external processing, while the Schecter Custom Bass Bridge with string-through design ensures maximum sustain and harmonic clarity across all five strings for tight low-end definition in the final mix.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does B-Stock mean?
B-Stock means this bass is fully functional and plays like new, but has minor cosmetic imperfections that do not affect performance. It carries the same electronics, hardware, and construction as a standard C-5 GT.
Is the 35-inch scale and thin C-profile neck good for smaller hands?
The 35-inch scale is longer than typical four-string basses and offers extended low-end definition; the thin "C" neck profile (0.787" at the 1st fret) prioritizes speed and precision over comfort for smaller hands. Try one in person if hand size is a concern.
What kind of tone should I expect from the dual EMG pickups?
The EMG 40DC bridge and EMG 40P5 neck pickups deliver articulate, controlled output with harmonic clarity and a punchy midrange, paired with a 2-band EQ for essential shaping. This is ideal for funk, progressive, and studio work where definition and note separation matter.
How many frets does it have and what is the fretboard material?
The C-5 GT features 24 extra-jumbo frets on an ebony fretboard with a 16-inch radius, paired with a Graph Tech Black Tusq XL nut for consistent playability and tone across all strings.
What is the body and neck construction?
The body is mahogany with a flamed maple top and the neck is 3-piece maple with a set-neck design and Ultra Access cutaway for comfortable access to all frets. The Schecter Custom Bass Bridge with string-through design ensures maximum sustain.
