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

The C-5 GT is a precision 5-string instrument built for players who demand fast access across the entire fingerboard and articulate low-end response. The thin "C" neck profile and 35" scale length deliver comfortable reach without sacrificing definition, while the set-neck construction with Ultra Access cutaway opens up the upper register for extended playing. B-stock condition means it arrives with minor cosmetic blemishes, but full structural and tonal integrity.

Playability & Construction

The 3-piece maple neck with carbon fiber reinforcement provides exceptional stability and minimal neck dive across the 35" extended scale. A Graph Tech Black Tusq XL nut at 1.771" width paired with 24 extra jumbo frets on a 16" radius ebony fingerboard enables fast lateral movement and clear articulation. The thin neck profile measures .787" at the first fret and .866" at the 12th, creating a modern feel that suits both aggressive picking and fluid finger techniques.

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 without unnecessary complexity. A Schecter custom string-through bridge maximizes sustain and resonance across all five strings.
