Schecter dUg Pinnick Baron-H Electric Bass Gloss Black
Description
Schecter dUg Pinnick Baron-H Electric Bass in Gloss Black
The dUg Pinnick Baron-H captures articulate, punchy lows with its semi-hollow mahogany body and thin 'C' maple neck—a 35-scale design that sits naturally in dense mixes without sacrificing definition. Built in collaboration with dUg Pinnick, this signature model excels at cutting through while maintaining the controlled warmth needed for layered productions. The gloss black finish with cream binding delivers a professional appearance that translates equally well to studio sessions and stage documentation.
Playability & Construction
The bolt-on maple neck measures 0.787" at the first fret and tapers to 0.866" at the 12th fret, enabling fast, precise tracking and overdub sessions with minimal hand fatigue. Twenty-two X-Jumbo frets on a rosewood fretboard with a 16" radius and Graph Tech XL Black Tusq nut (1.496" width) ensure solid intonation stability across the extended 35" scale, critical for maintaining locked timing with drums and synths during recording. The mahogany body with single F-hole weighs approximately 7.5 lbs, reducing physical strain during marathon tracking days.
Electronics & Tone
A Seymour Duncan Pro Active APB-1 pickup with active circuitry delivers clarity and controlled aggression across the frequency spectrum, translating to cleaner direct box feeds and more predictable console behavior. The simple volume control and 9-volt clip-in battery compartment keep the signal path straightforward and reliable in the studio environment, while WSC THD4 bass bridge and Grover Vintage Bass 142 Series tuners in chrome hardware maintain consistent tuning stability through extended take sequences.
