Description
Six strings, 35″ of scale, and a neck that doesn’t fight you — the Stiletto Custom-6 is Schecter’s answer for bassists who need to cover more harmonic ground live without losing the weight and growl a real bass rig demands. That extended scale keeps the low B taut and defined instead of floppy, while the Thin ‘C’ neck profile (maple/walnut multi-ply, rosewood board, 24 X-Jumbo frets, 16″ radius) makes six-string real estate feel manageable under the hand, not intimidating.
Under the flamed maple and walnut top sits a mahogany body — a pairing that leans warm and resonant rather than scooped or brittle, which matters when you’re trying to cut through a mix on the low strings and stay musical up top. The EMG 40HZ set in the bridge and neck, wired to a Master Volume/Blend/2-Band Active EQ, gives you the modern active tone bassists reach for on function gigs, prog sets, or anywhere you need punch and headroom on tap — powered simply by a 9-volt via the clip-in battery compartment.
Details built for the stage, not just the shelf:
- Graph Tech XL Black Tusq nut (2.125″ width) and dual 2-way adjustable truss rods for stability under six-string tension
- S-Tek bridge and Schecter tuners in satin gold hardware, matched to the Natural Satin finish
- Metal knurled knobs with set screws — no slipping mid-set
- Ships strung with Ernie Ball 6-String Super Long strings (.032–.130)
If you’ve been putting off the jump to six strings because the neck felt like a plank or the low end felt hollow, this is the bass that makes the case otherwise.
