A modern 12-string bass designed for versatility

The 12-string bass is aimed at bassists who want to go beyond the simple role of rhythmic foundation: more harmonics, more width, more presence. This Schecter fits into a modern, performance-oriented approach, with efficient luthiery (bolt-on neck, 24 frets) and especially rich electronics, designed to shape the character in one gesture, both in the studio and on stage.

For whom, and in which styles?

This 12-string electric bass is particularly suitable for intermediate to advanced musicians: the gauge and tension of 12-string playing require a confident left hand and good right-hand control. It excels in rock, metal, progressive, post-rock, and alternative pop, whenever the spectrum needs to be broadened (riffs, power chords, double lines, arrangements) while maintaining a solid foundation.

The sound

The mahogany body provides a round and dense base with sustain, while the maple neck and fretboard add attack and clarity: a relevant duo for a 12-string, where definition is crucial. The Schecter USA M-25 and Schecter USA J-25 pickups offer a wide palette, from deep lows to more biting mids, and the control section enhances versatility: Volume, Blend, Tone, plus a 3-position mini switch for the bridge pickup (series/split/parallel) and a 2-position mini switch for the neck pickup (coil tap). Result: you can go from a thick and powerful sound to a more articulated tone, ideal for bringing out the octaves.

Recommended compatible accessories

For protection and transport, this bass can be paired with the SGR-UNIVERSAL BASS gig bag (optional). Regarding consumables, prioritize a 12-string set of strings respecting the original gauge: .050, .050, .095 / .040, .040, .080 / .032, .032, .060 / .018, .018, .040.
