Description
Schecter Riot-5 Electric Bass Satin Inferno Burst B-Stock 1379
The Riot-5 is engineered for studio tracking and session work, offering a comfortable, balanced feel thanks to its thin "C" neck profile and 35" scale length—essential for five-string players who need precise intonation and articulate note separation in recorded takes. This B-Stock example shows minimal cosmetic wear (light marks at the 10th fret) and maintains full playability and sonic character. The Inferno Burst finish combined with the swamp ash and burl maple construction creates both visual impact and tonal clarity that translates well to mic and direct input.
Construction & Recording Playability
Built with bolt-on construction, a swamp ash body with burl maple top, and a maple/walnut multi-ply neck, this bass balances resonance with structural stability—key factors for consistent tracking tone. The ebony fingerboard, 16" radius, and 24 XJ frets provide smooth, repeatable playability across the entire neck, while the thin "C" contour (0.787" at the 1st fret, 0.866" at the 12th) reduces hand fatigue during long session work.
Active Electronics & Tone Shaping
Dual EMG pickups—40PX-CS at the neck and 40JX-CS at the bridge—feed into an EMG-B30 3-band active EQ with master volume and blend control, delivering punchy lows that anchor a mix, articulate mids that cut through, and focused highs that sit cleanly in the stereo field. The 9-volt clip-in battery powers the active circuit for responsive, real-time tone shaping across multiple session styles and genres.

How does the active EQ work, and what does it require?
The EMG-B30 3-band active EQ offers master volume and blend control for responsive tone shaping. It runs on a 9-volt clip-in battery that powers the active circuit for consistent performance across sessions and live gigs.
What is the construction, and how does it hold up on the road?
Bolt-on construction with a swamp ash body, burl maple top, and maple/walnut multi-ply neck provides structural stability and resonance. Black hardware and Schecter tuners support reliable performance in studio and live environments.
