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

The Schecter C-5 GT is a five-string extended-range bass built for clarity and articulation across the low end. Its balanced ergonomic design and set-neck construction prioritize both comfort and tonal consistency, making it a serious instrument for players who demand professional response in modern bass work. This B-stock unit offers the full feature set at a significant savings.

Tone and Electronics

A pair of EMG pickups—the 40DC at the bridge and 40P5 at the neck—feeds a 2-band EMG EQ with volume and blend controls, delivering punchy highs and articulate low-end response across the five-string palette. The 35" scale length provides tonal clarity and definition, while the Schecter custom bass bridge with string-thru design and Graph Tech Black Tusq XL nut maximize sustain and tonal transfer.

Build and Playability

A 3-piece maple neck with thin "C" profile (0.787" at the 1st fret, 0.866" at the 12th) connects to a mahogany body with flamed maple top via set-neck construction with ultra-access for fretboard work, ensuring immediate comfort and responsiveness. The ebony fretboard hosts 24 extra-jumbo frets on a 16" radius, supporting aggressive playing styles and smooth bends, while the 2-way adjustable truss rod with heel access provides stable setup.
