A 5-string bass designed for versatility, in the Schecter Diamond spirit
With this Diamond Custom Bass in Gloss Black finish, Schecter continues its tradition of performance-oriented instruments: reliable craftsmanship, modern ergonomics, and electronics designed to cover many styles. The 5-string 35" / 889 mm scale length combined with a versatile pickup configuration makes it a bass built for both stage and studio, with a real focus on clarity in the low end.
Who is it for, and what styles?
This electric bass is especially aimed at intermediate to advanced bassists seeking a responsive and stable 5-string capable of handling various tunings and playing styles. It suits styles that demand both solid foundation and precision: rock, metal, funk, pop, gospel, or fusion. The thin "Thin C" neck promotes speed, while the electronics allow quick switching from dense tones to more percussive attacks.
Sound
The mahogany body provides generous low-mids and a sustaining feel, highly appreciated on a 5-string. The bolt-on maple neck enhances attack and clarity, and the maple fretboard adds natural brightness, ideal for standing out in a mix. On the electronics side, the Schecter USA M-25 / J-25 pickup pair covers a wide spectrum: the humbucker-style pickup delivers body and punch, while the J-style pickup offers articulation and grain. The mini-toggles (series/split/parallel on the bridge pickup, coil tap on the neck pickup) allow quick adjustment of character: thicker and compressed, more open and dynamic, or sharper for pick attacks and slap.
Recommended compatible accessories
To maintain the original feel and tension, favor a set of Ernie Ball 5 String Super Long 2850 (.045-.130) strings. If you want to protect the instrument during transport, the SGR-UNIVERSAL BASS gig bag is recommended as an option.
