Schecter Charles Berthoud CB-4 Left-Handed Bass in See Thru Black Satin

This left-handed CB-4 delivers a remarkably slim neck profile paired with a through-body construction that feels balanced and responsive in hand. The thin "C" neck shape and lightweight ash body with flamed maple top create an instrument that sits comfortably during extended sessions while maintaining excellent sustain and clarity. Designed by and for working musicians, the CB-4 bridges the gap between vintage tone and modern playability.

Playability & Feel

The 34" scale with 24 jumbo frets on a 16" fretboard radius provides fast, comfortable fretwork across the entire neck, while the Graph Tech Black Tusq XL nut and walnut neck with Padauk stringers and dual carbon fiber rods ensure reliable tuning stability and minimal neck movement. A thin "C" profile measuring 0.787" at the 1st fret and 0.866" at the 12th fret accommodates both traditional and modern hand positions without fatigue.

Tone & Electronics

The EMG 35HZ bridge pickup paired with an EMG 3-band B64 EQ and master volume/blend control grants precise tonal shaping across the frequency spectrum, from deep lows to articulate highs. The Schecter Diamond Custom Bass bridge and Grover Bass 144 Series tuners anchor the instrument with hardware-level reliability.
