Schecter J-4 bass in Gloss Black

Schecter J-4 Electric Bass in Black

The Schecter J-4 pairs a slim, fast neck with a lightweight alder body that won't wear you down during long sets or studio sessions. This 4-string J-style bass cuts through rock, metal, and funk mixes with a snappy attack and defined low-end punch. The responsive fretboard and balanced ergonomics reward both aggressive riffing and intricate passage work with intuitive feel and effortless playability.

Playability & Feel

The thin 'C'-profile maple neck measures .787" at the 1st fret and .866" at the 12th fret, making quick position shifts and fluid technique natural across the entire fingerboard. A 34" scale with 21 narrow X-Jumbo frets and a 16" fretboard radius gives you the industry-standard foundation for solid four-string bass work, while the Graph Tech XL Ivory Tusq nut (1.496" width) locks in reliable string seating and sustain night after night.

Tone & Electronics

Dual Schecter USA MonsterTone-J™ pickups at bridge and neck positions give you versatile voicing across the full tonal spectrum, controlled via Volume/Volume/Tone architecture with push-pull coil-tap functionality for expanded sonic flexibility. The Schecter Custom Bass String Thru bridge and metal knurled controls provide solid hardware stability and reliable operation through countless gigs.
