Description
Sound & Tone
The EMG 40P5 at the neck and 40DC at the bridge push a clean, high-output voice with tight punch up top and firm, articulate lows, and the 2-band EQ with blend lets you dial anything from thick fingerstyle warmth to aggressive, cutting attack. Mahogany with a flamed maple top adds body beneath that clarity, while the 35" scale keeps the low B focused and defined rather than loose. It suits modern metal, progressive rock, and hard-rock players who need a clear low end in a dense mix, and the thin neck, 24 extra-jumbo frets and ebony board also make it comfortable for slap, tapping, and fast lines across the five-string range.
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.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does B-Stock mean, and is this bass fully functional?
B-Stock means this bass is fully functional and carries the complete feature set; it has minor cosmetic imperfections that do not affect playability or tone. You receive the same professional instrument at a substantial discount.
Is this bass suitable for beginners, or do I need advanced experience?
The C-5 GT is designed for intermediate, advanced, and professional players. Its thin C-profile neck and extended five-string range are best suited to players with solid technique and experience handling modern bass playing styles.
What genres and playing styles is this bass best for?
The C-5 GT excels in progressive, funk, jazz, and studio sessions. Its punchy highs, articulate low-end, and extended range clarity make it less ideal for folk and country applications.
What pickups and electronics does it have, and can I adjust the tone?
The C-5 GT features EMG 40DC (bridge) and 40P5 (neck) pickups running through a 2-band EMG EQ with volume and blend controls, giving you flexible shaping of punch and articulation across the five-string palette.
How does the 35-inch scale length affect playability and tone?
The 35-inch scale provides extended tonal clarity and definition across the five strings, particularly in the low end. It requires larger hand stretches than shorter scales and is standard for professional five-string basses.
Do I pay sales tax on this order?
Sales tax is collected only on orders shipped to California; orders shipped to any other US state are not charged sales tax at checkout when you buy direct from our website. At a typical 7% rate that is an estimated $67 less at checkout than the same listed price on a marketplace, which collects sales tax as the facilitator in most states. Buyers remain responsible for any use tax their state applies. Free US shipping and 30-day returns are included.
