Schecter C-5 GT Bass Satin Charcoal Burst B-Stock 2742

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.
