Schecter C-5 GT Bass Satin Charcoal Burst B-Stock
The Schecter C-5 GT is a five-string bass engineered for extended-range recording and studio work, delivering balanced, predictable tonal character in mix scenarios. Its thin "C"-shaped neck and set-neck construction provide immediate comfort during long tracking sessions, while the 35" scale ensures the tonal clarity and articulation needed for modern bass tracking and re-amping applications.
Playability & Build Quality
A 3-piece maple neck with thin "C" profile (.787" at the first fret, .866" at the 12th) connects to a mahogany body with flamed maple top via set-neck construction with ultra-access for fretboard work. The 24 extra-jumbo frets on a 16" radius ebony fretboard support precise intonation across the extended range and smooth articulation on recorded takes, while the 2-way adjustable truss rod with heel access enables stable, repeatable setup between recording sessions.
Tone & Electronics
A pair of EMG pickups—the EMG 40DC at the bridge and EMG 40P5 at the neck—drive a 2-band EMG EQ with volume and blend controls, delivering punchy highs and articulate low-end response well-suited to layering and mixing. The Schecter custom bass bridge with string-thru design and Graph Tech Black Tusq XL nut maximize sustain and tonal transfer, ensuring consistent capture across multiple takes and session dates.

The C-5 GT uses EMG 40DC (bridge) and EMG 40P5 (neck) pickups paired with a 2-band EMG EQ. This setup delivers punchy highs, articulate low-end response, and tonal clarity with a modern voice suited to studio sessions and live extended-range work.
How does the 35-inch scale affect playability and tone?
