Sound & Tone
The 35" scale, mahogany body with flamed maple top, and ebony fingerboard combine for a tight, well-defined low B and a punchy midrange with quick note attack. Active EMG 40DC and 40P5 pickups push a focused, low-noise voice with cutting clarity, and the 2-band EQ plus blend control lets you dial anything from thick fingerstyle warmth to aggressive, articulate pick tone. Paired with the string-through bridge and 24 extra jumbo frets, it suits modern metal, prog, and slap or tapping-heavy playing where extended-range definition matters.
Schecter C-5 GT Bass Satin Charcoal Burst B-Stock 2742
The C-5 GT is a precision 5-string instrument engineered for studio tracking and mixing sessions where fast access across the entire fingerboard and articulate low-end response matter most. The thin "C" neck profile and 35" scale length deliver comfortable reach without sacrificing definition, while the set-neck construction with Ultra Access cutaway opens up the upper register for extended playing. B-stock condition means it arrives with minor cosmetic blemishes, but full structural and tonal integrity.
Recording & Playability
The 3-piece maple neck with carbon fiber reinforcement provides exceptional stability and minimal neck dive across the 35" extended scale, critical for consistent tracking over multiple takes. A Graph Tech Black Tusq XL nut at 1.771" width paired with 24 extra jumbo frets on a 16" radius ebony fingerboard enables fast lateral movement and clear articulation that translates through the mix. The thin neck profile measures .787" at the first fret and .866" at the 12th, creating a modern feel that accommodates both aggressive pick work and fluid finger techniques across session demands.
Studio Tone & Signal Chain
Dual EMG 40DC (bridge) and EMG 40P5 (neck) pickups deliver focused, cutting tone with minimal noise—essential for defined low-end that sits clearly in dense mixes and punchy mids that hold space without muddiness. The 2-band EMG EQ system with independent volume and blend controls offers surgical frequency shaping for rapid session adjustments without unnecessary complexity. A Schecter custom string-through bridge maximizes sustain and resonance across all five strings, ensuring consistent note definition during overdubs and layered tracking.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does B-stock mean for this bass?
B-stock means the Schecter C-5 GT arrives with minor cosmetic blemishes on the finish or hardware, but full structural integrity and complete tonal performance. The neck, electronics, frets, and hardware are factory-standard and fully functional.
Is this bass suitable for a player moving into 5-string for the first time?
The C-5 GT is built for intermediate, advanced, and professional players. Its thin C-neck profile and 35" scale make fingerboard access smooth, but the extended range and high-output EMG electronics are optimized for players already familiar with multi-string techniques and modern high-gain contexts like djent and progressive music.
What pickups and electronics does it have?
The C-5 GT features dual EMG pickups—an EMG 40DC at the bridge and EMG 40P5 at the neck—paired with a 2-band EMG EQ system offering independent volume and blend controls for surgical frequency shaping and minimal noise.
How does the neck construction compare to other 5-strings?
The 3-piece maple neck with carbon fiber reinforcement rods resists neck dive and delivers exceptional stability across the 35" scale. The thin C-profile measures 0.787" at the first fret and 0.866" at the 12th, creating a modern feel that suits both aggressive picking and fluid finger techniques without sacrificing definition.
What genres is this bass designed for?
The C-5 GT excels in extended-range, studio, djent, and progressive contexts where articulate low-end, cutting mids, and fast fingerboard access are essential. It is not optimized for folk or worship applications.
