Description
Schecter Omen Extreme-5 Left-Handed Electric Bass in Black Cherry Finish
The Omen Extreme-5 LH captures articulate low-end and punchy midrange definition in the studio or live room. Its thin 'C' neck profile and extended 35" scale combine with a flamed maple top and mahogany body to deliver focused note separation without sacrificing the aggressive character that works across rock, metal, and contemporary production styles. Black chrome hardware and abalone inlays accent a Black Cherry finish that photographs cleanly and maintains visibility in mixed lighting.
Playability & Recording Comfort
The thin 'C' neck measures .787" at the first fret and .866" at the twelfth, minimizing hand fatigue during extended tracking or overdub sessions. 24 X-Jumbo frets on a 16" radius rosewood fretboard paired with a Graph Tech XL Black Tusq nut (1.771" width) ensure clean note articulation and consistent sustain across the extended 35" scale—essential for capturing punchy attack and clear harmonic definition in 5-string bass work.
Tone & Signal Path
Dual Schecter Diamond Bass pickups (bridge and neck positions) capture focused, articulate response that sits well in dense mixes, with a 9-volt clip-in battery compartment powering the preamp for session flexibility. Metal knurled knobs with set screws allow real-time tone shaping during recording without unpredictable taper, while the Diamond Bass bridge with 6 bolt-on construction transfers string vibration directly through the mahogany body and flamed maple top, maximizing output clarity and harmonic content.
