Description
Schecter Ultra Bass in Pelham Blue
This Schecter Ultra Bass delivers a buttery-smooth neck paired with a perfectly balanced body that feels like a natural extension at the session. The neck-thru construction with Ultra Access creates seamless upper fret access for layered recording takes, while the thin "C" neck profile and lightweight open-gear tuners enable comfortable, responsive tracking during extended sessions. The striking Pelham Blue finish with white binding projects visual professionalism on camera or in the studio.
Playability & Construction
Built with a mahogany body featuring a flat top with raised center contour and backed by a mahogany/maple 5-piece neck with carbon fiber reinforcement rods, this bass combines structural stability with warm, round tonal character ideal for recording. The 20 X-Jumbo frets on an ebony fretboard with pearloid offset/reverse dot inlays deliver precise intonation for tracking and a premium feel that translates to confident performances across multiple takes, while the 34" scale and Graph Tech XL Black Tusq nut ensure consistent attack and sustain through your mix.
Tone & Recording Versatility
Dual EMG TBHZ pickups with independent volume/volume/tone controls capture punchy, articulate highs and deep, authoritative lows that sit confidently in any mix. The Schecter Custom Bass bridge with string-thru design anchors powerful sustain and grants tonal flexibility—dial in warm and woody for R&B and funk sessions, or push toward bright and aggressive for rock and metal production.
