Schecter Charles Berthoud CB-4 Bass See Thru Black Satin

The CB-4 sits comfortably in the hands with its slim thin "C" neck profile and ergonomic body contours, designed for extended playing sessions without fatigue. Thru-neck construction with Ultra Access delivers exceptional sustain and allows seamless reach to all 24 jumbo frets. This signature model pairs premium tonewoods with active EMG electronics, creating a versatile platform for dynamic bass work across any genre.

Neck & Playability

The neck features walnut core with padauk stringers and dual carbon fiber reinforcement rods, ensuring rock-solid stability and minimal flex under load. A thin "C" profile measuring 0.787" at the 1st fret and 0.866" at the 12th fret promotes speed and precision, while the 16" fretboard radius and rosewood fretboard support everything from aggressive slap technique to smooth legato lines. The Graph Tech Black Tusq XL nut and Grover Bass 144 tuners anchor tuning stability across extended play.

Tone & Electronics

Dual EMG 35HZ pickups paired with an EMG 3-band B64 EQ, master volume, and blend control provide surgical control over your tone from deep, warm lows to clear, punchy highs. The 18-volt active system delivers extended headroom and dynamic range, while the Schecter Diamond Custom Bass bridge ensures precise intonation and tuning stability.
