Description
Sound & Tone
The Omen Extreme-5 leans punchy and tight, with articulate note definition and strong sustain that keeps it audible in dense mixes. The five-string layout extends the low end for thunderous root work while staying clear enough for faster passages higher up the neck. It suits progressive metal, hard rock, and other styles that call for aggressive rhythmic drive and precise attack.
Schecter Omen Extreme-5 Bass in Vintage Sunburst
The Schecter Omen Extreme-5 is a modern 5-string bass designed for players who demand extended range without compromise. Featuring dual Schecter Diamond Bass pickups and an active 2-band EQ, this instrument delivers punchy, articulate tone across genre boundaries. The combination of mahogany body with flamed maple top and arched contour creates both visual appeal and ergonomic playability.
Tone and Electronics
Dual Schecter Diamond Bass pickups paired with active 2-band EQ give you precise tonal shaping and punchy midrange clarity essential for modern bass work. The active circuit with 9-volt clip-in battery compartment provides responsive dynamics and the ability to dial in everything from aggressive lows to articulate highs.
Neck and Playability
The 35-inch scale with thin C profile neck and 45 mm nut width supports comfortable fretting across the extended 5-string layout. 24 X-Jumbo frets on a rosewood fingerboard with 16-inch radius deliver fast, accurate intonation, while abalone and pearloid vector inlays mark your position across the neck with clarity.
