Schecter Charles Berthoud CB-4 Bass See Thru Black Satin

The CB-4 delivers a focused, articulate voice in the mix with its slim thin "C" neck profile and ergonomic body contours, ideal for extended tracking sessions without fatigue. Thru-neck construction with Ultra Access ensures extended sustain and seamless reach to all 24 jumbo frets for studio versatility. This signature model pairs premium tonewoods with active EMG electronics, providing a dynamic recording platform across genre boundaries.

Neck & Playability

The neck features walnut core with padauk stringers and dual carbon fiber reinforcement rods, ensuring rock-solid stability and minimal flex under load. A thin "C" profile measuring 0.787" at the 1st fret and 0.866" at the 12th fret supports precision tracking and fast session work, while the 16" fretboard radius and rosewood fretboard accommodate everything from aggressive slap technique to smooth legato lines. The Graph Tech Black Tusq XL nut and Grover Bass 144 tuners anchor tuning stability across extended play and multiple takes.

Tone & Electronics

Dual EMG 35HZ pickups paired with an EMG 3-band B64 EQ, master volume, and blend control provide surgical control over your recorded tone from deep, warm lows to clear, punchy highs. The 18-volt active system delivers extended headroom and dynamic range for full-spectrum capture, while the Schecter Diamond Custom Bass bridge ensures precise intonation and session-to-session consistency.
