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.
Schecter Stargazer-4 Bass in Gloss Black
The Schecter Stargazer-4 is built to capture articulate, tonally flexible bass tracks in the studio. Its solid mahogany body paired with dual USA-made pickups and extensive switching options gives producers and engineers the palette needed for everything from tight funk grooves to warm, woody foundations. The slim Thin "C" neck profile and Deep Insert Neck Joint enable rapid tracking sessions without fatigue, while the accessible upper fret register opens creative possibilities for layered bass arrangements.
Recording-Ready Neck & Fretboard
The 34" scale with 22 jumbo frets and 16" fretboard radius deliver fast, consistent finger movement across the maple fretboard—essential for punchy tracking and clean, repeatable takes. Neck thickness measures 0.787" at the 1st fret and 0.866" at the 12th fret, providing the right balance of control for session work. The Ultra Access heel makes high-register voicings and counter-melodies accessible without awkward hand repositioning between passes.
Pickup Switching & Studio Tone-Shaping
The pairing of Schecter USA M-25 bridge pickup and Schecter USA J-35 neck pickup delivers multiple characters within a single session. The 3-way mini toggle for bridge pickup (series, split, parallel) and 2-way mini toggle for neck pickup coil tap allow you to sculpt tone in real time—blend aggressive clarity, warm roundness, or anything between without stopping the tape. The Schecter Diamond Custom Bass bridge and Graph Tech XL Tusq nut lock in stable intonation and articulate transients, ensuring every note reads clearly in the mix.
