Schecter Model-T 4 String Exotic Black Limba Bass

Schecter Model-T 4 String Exotic Black Limba Bass

The Model-T is engineered for studio tracking and live session work, delivering a buttery-smooth playability experience with its roasted maple neck and thin "C" profile that maintains comfort through extended recording takes. The exotic black limba body resonates with warm, articulate tone—punchy lows and singing mids that sit naturally in a mix without sacrificing clarity. Built to capture both aggressive picking attacks and nuanced fingerstyle dynamics, this bass rewards precise technique with consistent sustain and responsiveness across a wide range of playing styles.

Playability & Tracking Performance

The roasted maple neck with ebony fretboard and thin "C" shape provides a fast, comfortable playing surface ideal for minimizing hand fatigue during long studio sessions, while the 21 jumbo frets and 12" radius fretboard accommodate modern active playing and traditional bass lines with equal facility. A Graph Tech XL Black Tusq nut at 1.496" width ensures clean articulation and reliable string spacing, critical for precise intonation and capturing clean takes in the recording environment.

Tone & Electronics for Studio Flexibility

Paired Schecter MonsterTone pickups—a J-style bridge position and P-style neck position—deliver the tonal flexibility essential for session work, controlled via dual volume and master tone knobs with metal knurled set-screw knobs for repeatable settings across multiple takes. The Schecter Custom Bass Bridge with string-through design maximizes sustain and body resonance, producing the sustain character that translates well to mix and recording, while WSC KG400 tuners and a 2-way adjustable truss rod ensure stable tuning and neck adjustment throughout demanding session schedules.
