Description
Sound & Tone
With a mahogany body, maple neck, and ebony fingerboard, the Devil-4 has a warm low end and clear, focused note definition. The single active EMG MMCS bridge pickup adds a punchy, midrange-forward voice that cuts through dense guitars, suited to modern rock, metal, and other aggressive styles. The 32" scale gives a slightly tighter, more compact response for fast picking and articulate fingerwork, and the kill switch toggle makes rhythmic stutter effects easy.
Schecter Devil-4 Left-Handed Bass in Blackout
The Devil-4 delivers a responsive recording platform built around a thin "C" neck profile and thru-body mahogany construction that translates to controlled articulation and consistent sustain across sessions. Left-handed players get the full-featured specification of Schecter's four-string platform without compromise. The Blackout finish presents a refined, understated aesthetic that disappears into any mix context while maintaining visual cohesion in the studio.
Construction & Hardware
A mahogany body with flat top and carved contour pairs with a 3-piece maple neck reinforced by two carbon fiber rods, ensuring neck stability and minimal drift during temperature and humidity changes in extended recording sessions. The 32" scale length and thin "C" profile (measuring 20mm at the 1st fret and 22mm at the 12th) enable fast, precise finger positioning for studio takes, while the ebony fingerboard with 20 jumbo frets and 12" radius supports both clean intonation and expressive dynamic control.
Electronics & Tone
An EMG MMCS bridge pickup captures the punchy midrange clarity needed to cut through dense arrangements without character coloration, controlled via a master volume/kill switch toggle for easy level management between parts. The Diamond Custom bass bridge and 38mm Graph Tech Black Tusq XL nut maximize string-to-body coupling for consistent tone across the register, while Grover tuners and black hardware ensure tuning stability across long session days.

Frequently Asked Questions
What neck profile does this bass have, and is it comfortable for extended playing?
The Devil-4 features a thin C-neck measuring 20mm at the 1st fret and 22mm at the 12th fret, designed for fast and approachable playability. The thru-body mahogany construction, reinforced by two carbon fiber rods, keeps the neck stable and responsive during long sessions and live gigs.
What kind of tone and output does the EMG MMCS pickup deliver?
The EMG MMCS bridge pickup provides classic active midrange punch with high output, tight low end, and articulate note definition. It's controlled via a master volume and kill switch toggle for simple, stage-reliable operation.
Is this bass suitable for funk and rock, or is it limited to other styles?
The Devil-4 excels in funk, rock, studio sessions, and live performance. The punchy mids, sustained tone, and articulate response make it less suited for traditional jazz or folk applications, but ideally voiced for modern electric bass work.
What hardware and hardware materials are included?
The bass ships with a Diamond Custom bass bridge, 38mm Graph Tech Black Tusq XL nut, Grover tuners, and black hardware throughout. It also includes Ernie Ball 45-105 Long Scale bass strings and features a 2-way adjustable truss rod with spoke wheel at the neck heel.
Why is the thru-body construction and carbon fiber reinforcement important?
Thru-body mahogany construction and two carbon fiber rods in the maple neck minimize twist and ensure long-term neck stability, crucial for maintaining intonation and playability on the road and in the studio. This design also maximizes sustain and string-to-body energy transfer through the Graph Tech nut.
Do I pay sales tax on this order?
