Description
Sound & Tone
The EMG MMCS bridge and EMG 81 neck pickups push an aggressive, midrange-forward voice with the tight, controlled attack typical of active electronics, and the 2-band EQ plus blend knob lets you dial from focused bridge bite to a fuller two-pickup thickness. Ash body with bolt-on maple neck and an ebony fretboard keep note definition articulate and sustain consistent, so fast lines and palm-muted eighths stay distinct rather than blurring together at high gain. The 34" scale and slim 'C' profile neck suit metal and hard rock players who need to cut through a loud mix with pick or fingerstyle precision.
Schecter Johnny Christ Signature Bass Satin Black B-Stock 0006
The Johnny Christ Signature Bass captures aggressive, articulate low-end in the studio with its 34" scale and slim maple neck shaped to the 'C' profile that works equally well for tracking and mixing sessions. This instrument sits decisively in a mix thanks to its EMG pickup configuration, while the satin black finish and gold bone cross inlays deliver a professional aesthetic without unnecessary flash. Purpose-built for metal and hard rock production, it delivers the modern active tone required for recording punchy, defined bass tracks.
Playability & Comfort
The 21 Narrow X-Jumbo frets on an ebony fretboard with 12" radius enable precise note articulation and fast tracking across the neck. Neck thickness measures .866" at the first fret and .925" at the 12th, providing the tapered feel necessary for accuracy during recording sessions, while the Graph Tech XL Black Tusq nut at 1.653" width ensures clear articulation and stable tuning across multiple takes.
Tone & Recording Character
The EMG MMCS bridge pickup paired with an EMG 81 neck pickup and 2-band active EQ system deliver sculpted, controlled aggression ideal for tracking and mixing applications. An ash body with bolt-on construction combined with the Schecter Custom Bass bridge produces articulate string definition and consistent sustain that translates reliably to tape or DAW, while the Grover tuners with gold hardware maintain intonation stability through extended recording sessions.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does B-Stock mean for this bass?
B-Stock means this bass is fully functional with complete signature specifications and unaffected tone and playability; it carries only minor cosmetic imperfections from handling or display. You receive the same professional-grade instrument and full manufacturer warranty at a significant discount compared to new retail.
Is this bass suitable for drop tunings and metal?
Yes—this is a signature model designed specifically for metal, hard rock, djent, and drop-tuning work. The stable Graph Tech Tusq nut, Grover tuners with gold hardware, and tight-sustain ash body with Schecter Custom Bass bridge maintain consistent intonation and articulation under demanding low-tuning conditions.
What pickup configuration does it have?
The bass features an EMG MMCS bridge pickup paired with an EMG 81 neck pickup, controlled by a master volume, blend knob, and 2-band active EQ system for modern, responsive tone-shaping and aggressive midrange cut.
How does the neck feel, and is it comfortable for extended play?
The slim maple C-profile neck with a tapered design (0.866" at the first fret, 0.925" at the 12th) is shaped for precision and speed during complex passages. The 21 Narrow X-Jumbo frets on a 12" radius ebony fretboard provide fast, accurate note definition across the entire neck—a proven shape favored by working bassists.
How does this compare to the Ibanez SR1200 or ESP LTD B-204SM?
All three are intermediate-to-professional active basses built for modern high-gain music; the Johnny Christ Signature stands out with its aggressive EMG midrange voicing, satin black aesthetic with signature inlays, and Schecter's bolt-on ash-body construction for tight, articulate sustain in a live or studio context.
