Description
Schecter Hellraiser Extreme-5 Left-Handed Electric Bass in Crimson Red Burst Satin
The Hellraiser Extreme-5 LH is engineered for recording sessions and studio tracking with a lightweight, ergonomic neck-through design that enables extended takes without fatigue. The thin 'C' profile neck accommodates both aggressive technique and precise fingerwork, while the 35-inch scale and ultra-access body cutaway make overdub work and studio mobility effortless. Finished in striking Crimson Red Burst Satin with black chrome hardware, this bass captures aggressive tone characteristics while maintaining refined playability in the control room and on tape.
Playability & Construction
Built with a neck-through mahogany body topped in quilted maple, the Hellraiser Extreme-5 LH achieves both structural integrity and consistent resonance for controlled recording captures. The Maple/Walnut multi-ply neck paired with an ebony fretboard and 24 X-Jumbo frets on a 16-inch radius provides fast response and consistent intonation across the full range, critical for layering multiple takes and maintaining pitch accuracy in the mix. The thin 'C' neck profile—measuring .787" at the first fret and .866" at the 12th—allows for comfortable thumb positioning and efficient hand transitions without sacrificing the stability needed for precision studio work.
Tone & Electronics
Dual EMG 40TW pickups capture articulate, punchy tone with exceptional clarity across the five-string spectrum, powered by an 18-volt battery system for enhanced headroom and dynamic range that translates directly into recorded tracks with superior separation and definition. The Graph Tech XL Black Tusq nut and Schecter custom bass bridge coupled with Grover tuners ensure reliable tuning stability and optimal sustain between takes, while the MOP binding with multi-ply detailing and MOP Gothic cross inlays add distinctive visual character for studio presentation.
