Description
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 condition mean?
B-Stock means the bass is fully functional with complete structural and tonal integrity, but has minor cosmetic marks or imperfections from handling. No defects affect playability, tone, or reliability.
Is the thin neck profile suitable for aggressive playing styles?
Yes. The thin "C" profile at .787" at the first fret and .866" at the 12th fret is designed for both aggressive picking and fluid finger techniques, making it versatile for funk, progressive, and other demanding playing styles.
What pickups does it have, and can I shape the tone?
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 with independent volume and blend controls for surgical frequency shaping.
Is this bass suitable for extended-range and session work?
Absolutely. The 35" scale length, carbon fiber-reinforced neck, Ultra Access cutaway, and articulate EMG electronics make it ideal for extended-range playing, studio sessions, funk, and progressive music.
How does the 35-inch scale affect playability?
The 35" scale provides extended low-end reach and clarity without sacrificing tonal definition, while the thin neck profile ensures comfortable reach and fast lateral movement across all five strings.
Do I pay sales tax on this order?

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.
