Schecter RIOT-4 Electric Bass in Satin Aurora Burst

The RIOT-4 delivers a balanced, comfortable playing experience with its thin 'C' neck profile and 34" scale, designed to reduce fatigue during extended sessions. The swamp ash body with burl maple top and striking Aurora Burst finish combines visual presence with tonal clarity. This is a versatile workhorse built for players who demand both professional electronics and reliable construction.

Playability & Construction

The bolt-on design pairs a maple/walnut multi-ply neck with carbon fiber reinforcement rods for stability and sustain, while the ebony fretboard with 24 X-Jumbo frets and offset/reverse dot inlays provides quick navigation across the neck. The Graph Tech XL Black Tusq nut (1.496" width) ensures solid tuning stability and clean string definition from the open position.

Tone & Electronics

Active electronics center on EMG 35JX-CS bridge and 35PX-CS neck pickups paired with a 3-band active EQ, giving you broad tonal shaping through master volume, blend control, and parametric bass/mid/treble adjustment. The black hardware and Schecter custom string-through bridge maximize sustain and transfer energy efficiently into the body.
