Description
Schecter Stiletto Custom-5 Left-Handed Electric Bass Gloss Natural
The Stiletto Custom-5 LH is engineered to capture tight, articulate low-end definition in the studio and deliver consistent performance across extended sessions. Built on a 35" scale with a slim Thin "C" neck profile, it offers the ergonomic comfort left-handed players need to focus on performance rather than wrestling with instrument geometry. Mahogany body construction paired with Flamed Maple and Walnut top contributes harmonic complexity and sustain, while the 6 bolt-on construction ensures neck stability and consistent intonation—critical for tracking and layering bass tracks. This is a working instrument built for serious five-string players who demand active electronics and professional hardware.
Playability & Build
The 24 X-Jumbo frets on a Rosewood fretboard with 16" radius allow for fast, articulate playing with minimal finger fatigue during long tracking sessions. Neck dimensions of .787" at the first fret and .866" at the twelfth fret maintain that comfortable Thin "C" profile throughout, while the Graph Tech XL Black Tusq nut (1.771" width) and Schecter tuners provide reliable tuning stability and a professional feel at the headstock—essential for maintaining lock between takes and overdubs.
Electronics & Tone
Dual EMG 40HZ pickups deliver articulate, punchy output with tight lows and defined mids that sit well in dense mixes, cutting through without muddiness. The onboard Master Volume/Blend and 2-Band EMG Active EQ enables on-the-fly tonal adjustment between takes and tracks, allowing you to dial in the exact character needed for each song section. The 9-volt clip-in battery compartment powers the active circuit reliably across full studio days—the included Ernie Ball 5 String Super Long (.045–.130) strings are factory-strung and ready to play.
