Sound & Tone
The dual EMG 40TW active pickups running at 18 volts push a punchy, articulate voice with controlled midrange and plenty of headroom, so hard picking and slapping stay clean instead of collapsing. Mahogany body with a quilted maple top, a maple/walnut neck-thru build and ebony fretboard add sustain and a firm attack, while the 35" scale keeps the low B tight and defined. It suits metal, hard rock and modern progressive playing, and the fingerstyle clarity carries over to funk and session work that needs a defined low end.
Schecter Hellraiser Extreme-5 Left-Handed Bass B-Stock 1623
This left-handed 5-string bass captures thick, articulate low-end in the mix with a slim, fast neck and 35" scale that extends low-frequency response across all five strings. The neck-thru construction delivers excellent sustain and resonance for tracking, while the Ultra Access body contours enable quick upper-fret work during session overdubs. Built in South Korea to exacting standards, this B-stock unit offers full factory specifications at a significant discount.
Playability & Recording Response
The thin 'C' neck profile measures .787" at the first fret and .866" at the 12th, optimized for speed during long tracking sessions and precise articulation under the microphone. 24 X-Jumbo frets on a 16" radius Ebony fretboard lock in consistent intonation across takes, while the Graph Tech XL Black Tusq nut ensures stable tuning between punches and maintains clean transient definition in the recording chain.
Tone & Electronics
Dual EMG 40TW pickups capture articulate, punchy tones with controlled midrange and extended low-end clarity—translating well in dense mixes and responsive to both fingerstyle nuance and aggressive picking dynamics. The 18-volt active electronics provide extended headroom and dynamic range for layering bass parts, while the Schecter Custom Bass String-Thru bridge with Black Chrome hardware maintains intonation stability and sustain across all five strings through multiple takes.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does B-Stock mean?
B-Stock means this bass is fully functional with all factory specifications, but carries minor cosmetic imperfections from display or handling. The playability, electronics, and hardware are identical to new units.
Is this bass suitable for fast playing and technical work?
Yes. The slim 'C' neck profile (0.787" at the first fret, 0.866" at the 12th) and 35" scale are engineered for speed and comfort, making it ideal for intermediate to professional players tackling metal, progressive, and funk styles. 24 X-Jumbo frets provide responsive articulation.
What kind of tone does the EMG 40TW pickup setup deliver?
The dual EMG 40TW pickups paired with 18-volt active electronics produce articulate, punchy tones with controlled midrange and extended low-end clarity. The high output and dynamic range suit both fingerstyle precision and aggressive picking across studio and live applications.
Why is a 35-inch scale better for a 5-string?
The 35" scale (compared to standard 34") provides tighter string tension and improved clarity on lower strings, delivering better low-end definition and sustain—critical for the extended range of a 5-string bass.
Is left-handed configuration standard on this model?
No, this is a left-handed variant of the Hellraiser Extreme-5, specifically built for left-handed players. The body contours, neck, pickups, hardware, and controls are all mirrored for left-hand operation.
