A Schecter Bass Designed for Modern Playing and Versatility

With its 4-string format, 35" / 889 mm scale length, and "Tobacco Burl" aesthetic, this bass embodies Schecter's DNA: craftsmanship focused on performance, smooth playability up to the high frets (24 frets), and a solid sound for both stage and studio. The passive electronics and 3-position selector keep things straightforward, offering immediate and effective settings.

Who Is It For, and Which Styles?

This bass is particularly aimed at intermediate to advanced bassists seeking precise response, strong low-end sustain, and a comfortable neck. It suits styles requiring articulation and punch: modern rock, metal, powerful pop, funk/rock, worship, and more broadly any context where a clean low end without flabbiness is desired.

Sound Characteristics

The combination of a mahogany body and ash top offers an interesting blend: mahogany provides a round and dense foundation, while ash enhances attack and clarity, useful for fast lines or emphasized riffs. The Schecter Diamond Standard Soapbar pickups, paired with passive electronics, deliver a direct and dynamic sound: plenty of presence, well-controlled lows (even more noticeable thanks to the 35" scale), and usable highs without excessive harshness. The 2 volume controls allow fine blending of each pickup, and the 2 tone controls serve to smooth the high end or position the bass further back in a dense mix.

Recommended Compatible Accessories

To get the most out of the scale length, prioritize a 4-string "extra-long scale" string set suitable for a 35" / 889 mm scale. For transport, the SGR-6B gig bag (sold separately) is recommended as an option designed for this model.
