Built with a mahogany body and topped with a striking figured burl, this 5-string bass commands attention both visually and sonically. The C-5 Standard is built for players who need the extra range and punch that comes with a 35” scale length, making it ideal for extended range playing in any genre, from rock to jazz. Schecter’s reputation for creating reliable, high-performance instruments shines through in every aspect of this bass. Built for Comfort and Playability The C-5 Standard features a roasted maple neck paired with a rosewood fingerboard, offering a smooth and comfortable playing experience. The thin C neck shape makes navigating the 24 jumbo frets easy, while the 16” fingerboard radius ensures that playing fast runs or complex chord shapes feels natural. The longer 35” scale length enhances string tension for tight, punchy lows that cut through any mix, making this bass a perfect fit for players who demand precision and clarity in the low end. Versatile Tone With Schecter Signature Pickups Equipped with Schecter Diamond Standard soapbar pickups in both the bridge and neck positions, the C-5 Standard provides a wide tonal palette to explore. These pickups are known for their clarity and balance, giving you everything from deep, warm lows to crisp, articulate highs. Each pickup has its own independent volume and tone controls, allowing you to dial in the perfect sound for any playing style. Whether you’re holding down the groove or taking a solo, the C-5 Standard delivers the flexibility to craft your unique tone. Durable Hardware for Reliable Performance Schecter’s attention to detail ensures that the C-5 Standard is built to last. The bass features black hardware, including Schecter’s Diamond bass bridge and bass tuners, offering rock-solid tuning stability and sustain. The 45mm graphite nut ensures smooth tuning adjustments and prevents slipping during intense performances. This bass is designed to perform night after night, whether you’re on stage or in the studio, making it a reliable choice for serious bassists. Crafted to Inspire on Any Stage From its eye-catching tobacco burl top to its powerful tone, the Schecter C-5 Standard Tobacco Burl bass guitar is crafted to inspire musicians at every level. The combination of premium tonewoods, versatile electronics, and sleek design ensures that this bass is ready to handle any playing environment. Whether you’re laying down thunderous bass lines or exploring intricate melodies, the C-5 Standard’s smooth playability and stunning look will elevate your performances to the next level. <div style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px;"> </div>", "value":"499.00", "priceMin":"499.00", "priceMax":"499.00", "priceSavingsMaxPrice":"0.00", "priceSavingsMaxPercent":"31", "inventory":"4", "brand":"Schecter Guitar Research", "reviewStarImageUrl": "https://static.musiciansfriend.com/img/brand/mf/cmn/Sprit-Sm-Stars.png", "reviewStarRating":"0.0", "reviewStarRatingInteger":"0", "reviewHowManyReviews":"0", "usedOrNew":"new", "discontinued":"0", "onOrder":"0", "clearance":"0", "canBeSold":"1", "accessoryCategories":"site1LFML,site1LKA,site1HAB", "stickerText": ""}
