Overview

Command the stage with powerful low-end punch.

The Schecter Reaper-4 electric bass guitar is designed to deliver a commanding low-end punch that’s perfect for any genre. Featuring a lightweight swamp ash body with a striking figured poplar burl top, this bass produces a balanced tone that effortlessly cuts through the mix. The maple neck, reinforced with walnut stringers and carbon fiber rods, ensures rock-solid stability and exceptional playability. The ebony fingerboard provides a smooth playing surface, while jumbo frets make it easy to articulate each note with precision. Whether you're laying down deep grooves or playing melodic lines, the Reaper-4 offers the versatility and tone needed to excel in any musical setting.

Resonant Swamp Ash Body for Deep, Rich Lows
The Reaper-4’s swamp ash body is both lightweight and resonant, allowing bass frequencies to bloom with richness and depth. The addition of a poplar burl veneer not only enhances the visual appeal of the bass but also contributes to its tonal warmth. These carefully selected tonewoods work together to produce tight, focused lows that are perfect for both fingerstyle and slap techniques. The natural resonance of the body ensures that you can achieve a full, dynamic sound with minimal effort, making this bass an ideal choice for any playing style.

Reinforced Maple Neck for Enhanced Stability and Playability
The maple neck of the Reaper-4 is reinforced with walnut stringers and carbon fiber rods, providing unparalleled stability and preventing warping. This construction offers a sturdy platform for your fretting hand, ensuring consistent performance gig after gig. The thin C-shaped profile delivers a comfortable and familiar feel, while the smooth ebony fingerboard, combined with a 34" scale length and jumbo frets, allows for easy and precise playability. Whether you're performing fast runs or intricate passages, the Reaper-4 is built to support your playing style.

Versatile Schecter USA Pickups for Dynamic Tone
The Reaper-4 is equipped with a Schecter USA M-40 bridge pickup and a P-40 neck pickup, both voiced to capture the full tonal spectrum of the bass. The M-40 bridge pickup delivers tight, focused lows and cutting mids, making it ideal for aggressive playing styles. The P-40 neck pickup produces warm lows and singing highs, perfect for achieving a rounded, fingerstyle tone. By blending these versatile, high-output pickups, you can craft a tone that is perfectly tailored to your needs, making the Reaper-4 capable of handling any genre with ease.

Shape Your Sound With the 18V Darkglass EQ
The Reaper-4 includes an 18V Darkglass Tone Capsule EQ module, allowing you to shape your tone on the fly. This 3-band EQ provides boost and cut at selectable frequencies, enhancing the natural qualities of the bass. Whether you need deep, rumbling lows for dub, punchy mids for slap-ready funk, or clear highs for cutting through busy mixes, the Tone Capsule’s wide-ranging control adapts to any musical situation. With the Reaper-4, you can dial in the perfect tone for any setting.
