Schecter C-5 GT Bass Satin Charcoal Burst B-Stock
The Schecter C-5 GT is engineered for five-string bass tracking and mixing versatility in the studio. Its thin 'C' neck profile and 35" extended scale provide rapid session navigation while the set-neck construction with Ultra Access maintains upper-register access without sacrificing the tonal mass critical for recording. This B-stock unit offers full specification compliance at a reduced price point.
Recording Architecture & Build
Constructed with mahogany body and flamed maple top, the C-5 GT anchors recordings with resonant low-end foundation. The three-piece maple neck reinforced with carbon fiber rods ensures neck stability under varying humidity conditions during extended tracking sessions. The ebony fingerboard with 24 X-Jumbo frets and 16" radius supports both fingerstyle and pick-driven textures across the extended range, while the Graph Tech XL Black Tusq nut (1.771" width) preserves articulation and sustain across all five strings—critical for capturing clean, defined takes.
Signal Chain & Tone Shaping
Dual EMG pickups—the 40DC bridge and 40P5 neck models—deliver punchy lows and transparent mids ideal for sitting clearly in a dense mix without sacrificing clarity. The 2-band active EQ with master volume and blend control allows quick tonal adjustment between takes and overdubs, while the integrated 9-volt battery compartment maintains consistent signal integrity across long recording sessions.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does B-stock mean?
B-stock means this bass is fully functional and meets all specifications but carries minor cosmetic imperfections. It offers significant savings compared to a new unit while delivering identical professional performance.
Is the 35-inch extended scale suitable for standard five-string technique?
Yes. The 35-inch scale is engineered specifically for modern five-string bass work, providing consistent string tension and articulation across the extended range whether you're playing fingerstyle or using aggressive technique.
What kind of tone character do the EMG pickups deliver?
The EMG 40DC bridge and 40P5 neck pickups deliver punchy, articulate lows with transparent midrange clarity and high output. The 2-band active EQ with master volume and blend controls enables surgical tone-shaping for studio and live applications.
How does the thin 'C' neck profile affect playability?
The thin 'C' profile reduces hand fatigue during extended sessions while the 16-inch radius fingerboard and 24 X-Jumbo frets accommodate both traditional fingerstyle and aggressive playing without compromise. Set-neck construction with carbon-fiber reinforcement ensures stable intonation and minimal neck dive.
What genres does this bass work best for?
The C-5 GT is engineered for funk, progressive, studio sessions, and touring. Its articulate tone and responsive electronics make it less suited for folk or traditional jazz applications.
