Description
Sound & Tone
The 35" scale and swamp ash body with burl maple top give this five-string a tight, defined low B and clear note separation, with the ebony fingerboard and maple/walnut neck adding snap and attack to every note. EMG's 40PX-CS neck and 40JX-CS bridge pickups run through a 3-band active EQ, serving up punchy lows, articulate mids and focused highs, with the blend control letting you dial from thick neck-pickup weight to a brighter bridge bite. It suits modern rock and metal, funk and slap, and session work where clarity in the low register and fast access across 24 frets matter.
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.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does B-Stock mean for this bass?
B-Stock means the Riot-5 is fully functional with minor cosmetic imperfections—in this case, light marks at the 10th fret. Playability, tone, and all electronics are identical to new.
Is the 35-inch scale and thin neck good for five-string playing?
Yes. The 35" scale provides precise intonation and clear note separation across all five strings, while the thin "C" profile (0.787" at the 1st fret) sits naturally in hand during extended sessions and reduces hand fatigue.
What styles does this bass work best for?
The Riot-5 excels in funk, progressive, and djent—genres that benefit from its punchy lows, articulate mids, and responsive active EQ. The dual EMG pickups and 3-band tone shaping make it versatile for studio and live work across these styles.
How does the active EQ shape tone?
The EMG-B30 3-band active EQ with master volume and blend control lets you boost or cut lows, mids, and highs independently. The 9-volt battery powers the circuit for responsive, dynamic tone shaping suitable for multiple playing styles.
How does the Riot-5 compare to the Ibanez SR505 or Lakland Skyline 55-02?
The Riot-5 matches these models in playability and five-string clarity, but stands out with its swamp ash and burl maple construction, dual EMG active pickups, and more aggressive tonal character suited to modern styles like djent and progressive.
