Sound & Tone
The mahogany body lends warm, mid-forward resonance while the maple neck and fretboard add brightness and attack, and the 34" scale keeps low notes tight and full. The Schecter USA M-25 bridge pickup brings punch and clarity, the J-25 neck pickup smooths things out, and the series/split/parallel toggle plus neck coil tap let you move from thick, humbucking growl to leaner, more open single-coil voices. With a thin "C" neck, 16" radius and jumbo frets, it suits rock, metal and funk players who want fast fingerstyle runs or aggressive picking, and enough tonal range to cover rhythm duties and melodic lead lines alike.

Frequently Asked Questions
What pickup configuration does the Stargazer-4 have?
The Stargazer-4 features a Schecter USA M-25 bridge pickup (punchy and powerful) and a Schecter USA J-25 neck pickup (smooth and warm). A 3-way toggle lets you switch the bridge pickup between series, split, and parallel modes, and a 2-way toggle offers coil-tap on the neck pickup, giving you multiple tonal palettes in one instrument.
Is this bass suitable for funk and rock?
Yes. The Stargazer-4 is specifically voiced for funk, rock, and jazz with warm, resonant mids and punchy clarity. The tone controls and pickup switching make it easy to dial in tight, defined lows for funk grooves or fuller, rounder tones for rock sessions.
What is the neck like, and will it suit my playing style?
The neck is a thin C-profile maple with 22 jumbo frets and a 16-inch radius fretboard, designed for fast playability and comfortable chord transitions. This shape works well for intermediate to advanced players who value speed and access to higher frets.
What tuning hardware does it use?
The Stargazer-4 uses TonePros M Series tuners and a Graph Tech XL Black Tusq nut, both chosen for excellent tuning stability and tonal consistency during performances and long recording sessions.
What scale length and string gauges come with it?
The bass has a 34-inch scale length with a 38mm nut width for comfortable spacing. It comes strung with Ernie Ball Super Long strings in 0.045–0.105 gauge, which offer balanced tension and excellent playability.
