Sound & Tone
The active EMG 40DC bridge and 40P5 neck pickups push a punchy, tightly focused voice with defined midrange, while the 35" scale keeps the low B firm and clear rather than loose. Mahogany with a flamed maple top and an ebony fretboard lean toward articulate attack and cutting definition, and the blend control plus 2-band EMG EQ let you move from deep, thunderous fundamentals to bright, snappy tones on the fly. It suits modern rock, metal, and progressive playing, along with slap and fingerstyle work where clarity across five strings matters.
Schecter C-5 GT Bass Satin Trans Red B-Stock
The C-5 GT is engineered to sit solidly in any session with its thin "C"-shaped neck profile and well-proportioned body contours that translate to extended tracking comfort. The 35" scale and set-neck construction with Ultra Access ensure consistent intonation and articulation across all fret positions, critical when capturing multiple takes in the studio. The satin trans red finish with black racing stripe delivers a striking aesthetic. As B-stock, this bass is unplayed and in excellent condition—minor cosmetic scratches near the knobs represent the only deviation from new.
Build & Recording Performance
The three-piece maple neck with thin "C" profile measures 0.787" at the first fret and 0.866" at the 12th, designed for speed and sustained comfort during long studio sessions. The mahogany body with flamed maple top, ebony fretboard, and 24 X-Jumbo frets over a 16" radius deliver the resonance and clarity that translates accurately to tape, while the Graph Tech XL Black Tusq nut at 1.771" width locks in tuning stability across multiple takes and string separation for clean recording chains.
Tone Shaping & Studio Versatility
The EMG 40DC bridge pickup and EMG 40P5 neck pickup combination captures punchy lows and defined midrange character that cuts through dense mixes without additional processing. Master volume and blend controls paired with 2-band EMG EQ allow you to shape your fundamental tone at the source—from deep, thunderous bottom end to bright, articulate definition—reducing mix-stage EQ decisions and maintaining consistent takes throughout your session.
