Overview

Unique style and unbelievable tone make this 8-string a must-have for any collection.

The 8-string Riot-8 Session is part of Schecter's new Session series. These basses feature classic looks thanks to the aged natural satin finish on a swamp ash body with maple neck and fretboard. You have complete tonal control thanks to the EMG 35J and EMG 35DC pickups and EMG active 3-band EQ. Although it's an 8-string, the neck is still extremely playable with a C shape, 34" scale and 12" radius. The unique styling and sound is sure to turn heads at any gig.
