Description
Schecter Sixx Electric Bass in Satin Black Finish
The Schecter Sixx delivers a balanced, comfortable grip with its C-shaped neck and carefully tapered profile from first to twelfth fret. The neck-through construction combined with a mahogany body creates solid sustain and midrange presence that cuts through dense mixes while maintaining definition in the low end. This instrument is engineered for tracking and production work, rewarding players who demand responsive playability and reliable electronics.
Recording & Tracking Performance
Built with a 34-inch scale and 24 X-Jumbo frets on a rosewood fretboard, this bass handles precise technique and expressive playing with equal ease during overdub sessions. The maple/walnut multi-ply neck resists twisting to maintain consistent intonation across multiple takes, while the Graph Tech XL Black Tusq nut ensures rock-solid tuning stability during long recording days. Black chrome hardware and cream dot inlays provide visual consistency and durability in the studio environment.
Studio-Ready Tone Shaping
The pairing of EMG LJX bridge and EMG PX neck pickups delivers punchy lows and articulate highs with active tone shaping that translates naturally to tape or DAW. The EMG VLPF active tone control with kill switch and dual volume controls gives you real-time sculpting capabilities between takes, allowing you to dial in the exact character needed for your session without sacrificing output or frequency clarity.
