Sound & Tone
The mahogany body with flamed maple and walnut top gives this four-string a warm, weighty foundation, while the dual EMG 35HZ pickups keep the low end tight and the midrange focused for notes that stay defined even under heavy gain. The 34" scale and maple/walnut multi-ply neck add firmness and clarity to the attack, and blending the neck and bridge positions moves you from rounder, fuller support to a punchier, more cutting voice. With 24 X-Jumbo frets, a 16" radius, and a thin 'C' profile, it suits modern rock and metal, funk and fingerstyle grooves, and any style where fast runs and articulate note separation matter.
Schecter Stiletto Custom-4 Electric Bass Gloss Natural
The Stiletto Custom-4 is engineered for studio tracking and session work, delivering a thin, fast neck with a comfortable 'C' profile that enables precise articulation and rapid note definition. Its mahogany body topped with flamed maple and walnut provides a solid tonal foundation with visual clarity in the recording space. Built for producers and engineers capturing articulate, modern bass tones in a compact four-string platform.
Playability & Neck Design
The Maple/Walnut multi-ply neck features a thin 'C' shape measuring .787" at the 1st fret and .866" at the 12th, paired with a rosewood fretboard and 24 X-Jumbo frets for fast lateral movement and smooth note bending during overdubs and punch-ins. The 16" fretboard radius and Graph Tech XL Black Tusq nut (1.496" width) ensure consistent intonation across takes and comfortable fretting across the entire 34" scale, reducing re-tracking.
Electronics & Tone
Dual EMG 35HZ pickups deliver focused, articulate output with tight low-end definition—ideal for layering bass across modern genres and session contexts. The 9-volt clip-in battery compartment and metal knurled control knobs with set screws provide reliable operation and precise gain adjustment for consistent recording levels, while satin gold hardware and the S-Tek bridge offer solid construction and sustained resonance that translates well to the mix.
