Description
Sound & Tone
The ash body and bolt-on maple neck with ebony fretboard give this 34"-scale four-string a tight, focused low end and quick attack, with plenty of note separation even under heavy distortion. The EMG 81 at the neck paired with an EMG MMCS at the bridge runs into an active 2-band EQ with blend and master volume, so you can shift from thick, pushing lows to a cutting, aggressive midrange bite. It sits naturally in heavy metal, modern rock, and contemporary alternative settings where the bass has to stay audible and articulate in a dense mix.
Schecter Johnny Christ Bass in Satin Black B-Stock
The Schecter Johnny Christ Signature Bass delivers a naturally comfortable neck feel paired with a satin black finish that maintains grip through extended playing sessions. Built to working-musician standards, this instrument produces punchy, articulate tone with tight low-end definition—a voice engineered to cut through dense mixes whether laying down heavy metal grooves, modern rock, or contemporary alternative material. Responsive dynamics and intentional sustain reward precise playing on every note.
Playability & Construction
A 34" scale maple neck with C-profile shaping and ebony fretboard ensures smooth, fast passages without compromise. The 21 Narrow X-Jumbo frets on a 12" radius accommodate both precision fretting and aggressive playing styles, while the bolt-on ash body with gold hardware delivers resonance and long-term stability.
Tone & Electronics
A matched pair of EMG pickups—EMG 81 at the neck and EMG MMCS at the bridge—feeds into an active 2-band EQ with master volume and blend controls. This configuration provides articulate note separation, punchy attack, and the tonal flexibility to dial in clarity or aggression as needed, powered by an accessible 9-volt battery compartment.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does B-Stock mean, and does it affect tone or playability?
B-Stock means this bass is fully functional with minor cosmetic imperfections—in this case, a white stain on the back and light brush marks at the headstock. These marks are purely superficial and have zero impact on playability, tone, or structural integrity. You receive the same premium instrument at a significant discount with full manufacturer warranty coverage.
What pickups and EQ are included?
The bass features an EMG 81 at the neck and EMG MMCS at the bridge, paired with an active 2-band EQ offering master volume and blend controls. This setup delivers articulate note separation, punchy attack, and tonal flexibility to dial in clarity or aggression. The active system is powered by a 9-volt battery in an accessible compartment.
Is this bass suitable for jazz or traditional styles?
No—this instrument is engineered for metal, hard rock, modern rock, and studio sessions where aggressive character and cut-through tone are priorities. Its punchy attack and tight low end are optimized for dense, heavy material rather than the warm, smooth sustain typical of jazz or traditional country playing.
What is the neck shape and fretboard material?
The neck features a C-profile shape on a 34-inch maple scale, paired with an ebony fretboard and 21 Narrow X-Jumbo frets on a 12-inch radius. This combination supports smooth, fast passages and accommodates both precision fretting and aggressive playing styles without compromise.
How does this compare to the Ibanez SR Standard or ESP LTD B-204?
The Schecter Johnny Christ delivers comparable active electronics and professional construction but emphasizes tonal aggression and cut-through clarity optimized for metal and hard rock. While the SR and ESP models offer their own strengths, this Schecter's EMG pickup pair and 2-band EQ are specifically voiced for punchy, articulate tone in dense arrangements and heavy styles.
