A Modern 5-String Designed for Precision and Stability

This 5-string electric bass follows the line of modern performance-oriented instruments: a long scale to enhance low-end stability, reinforced luthiery (carbon reinforcement) to handle tension variations, and studio-grade active electronics to switch from a massive sound to a highly detailed tone. The choice of an ebony fingerboard and swamp ash body clearly aims for a fast response and excellent note-by-note clarity.

For Which Bassists and Styles?

Thanks to its 35" / 889 mm scale, 24 frets, and active EQ, this bass primarily targets intermediate to advanced bassists seeking a precise 5-string capable of staying articulate in low tunings or dense musical contexts. It is particularly suited for styles where the low end must remain clean: modern rock, metal, fusion, funky groove, gospel, contemporary pop, and studio recording.

Sound Characteristics

Swamp ash delivers a sharp attack, solid lows, and well-present highs, with dynamics that respond very well to both fingerstyle and pick playing. The maple neck, reinforced with walnut and carbon, enhances stability and transient precision, while the ebony fingerboard emphasizes definition and bite, particularly useful on a 5-string.

Schecter USA M-50 and Schecter USA P-50 pickups offer a palette ranging from punch and attack to a meatier low-mid, with a blend control for fine character adjustment. The Darkglass Tone Capsule EQ powered at 18V favors a modern shaping: firm lows, adjustable mids to cut through the mix, and upper-mids for articulation and presence, all while maintaining headroom before saturation.

Recommended Compatible Accessories

To maintain the tension and response intended by the manufacturer, an identical string set is recommended: Ernie Ball 5 String Super Long 2850 (.045-.130). An SGR-UNIVERSAL BASS gig bag is suggested as an option for transport and protection.
