Schecter C-5 GT Bass Satin Charcoal Burst B-Stock 2742

The C-5 GT is a precision 5-string bass engineered for extended-range players who demand articulate low-end definition and fast fingerboard access. Its thin "C" neck profile and 35" scale length deliver comfortable reach without sacrificing tonal clarity, while the set-neck construction with Ultra Access cutaway opens the upper register for serious playing reach. B-stock condition means minor cosmetic marks, but full structural and tonal integrity.

Tone & Electronics

Dual EMG 40DC (bridge) and EMG 40P5 (neck) pickups deliver focused, cutting tone with minimal noise—ideal for defined low-end and punchy mids. The 2-band EMG EQ system with independent volume and blend controls offers surgical frequency shaping, while the Schecter custom string-through bridge maximizes sustain and resonance across all five strings.

Playability & Construction

The 3-piece maple neck with carbon fiber reinforcement rods provides exceptional stability and eliminates neck dive across the extended scale. A Graph Tech Black Tusq XL nut (1.771" width) paired with 24 extra jumbo frets on a 16" radius ebony fingerboard enables fast lateral movement and clear articulation, while the thin neck profile—measuring .787" at the first fret and .866" at the 12th—suits both aggressive picking and fluid finger techniques.
