Description
Left-handed 6-string basses aren’t easy to find, and ones built with this much attention to tone are even rarer. The Schecter Stiletto Custom-6 LH hands southpaw players a full six strings of range – room to walk basslines across registers without ever reaching for the tuning pegs mid-song.
Under the hood, a pair of EMG 40HZ pickups drives the tone. These are designed specifically to keep low strings clear and controlled, so you get warmth and weight without the low-B turning into mush in a mix. That matters a lot on a 6-string, where an unfocused low end can bury everything else on stage.
The body pairs mahogany with a maple/walnut neck – a combo that leans toward bright, punchy fundamentals with a solid low-end backbone. On top, a flamed maple cap over walnut isn’t just for looks (though it does look sharp) – it adds to the overall voice while giving the bass a striking, book-matched grain pattern under natural satin finish.
The rosewood fingerboard rounds things out with sparkling top-end response and thick, rounded lows – a good match for the EMGs. Other details include:
- Schecter tuners for stable, dependable tuning
- S-Tek bridge
- Pearloid offset dot inlays
If you’re a lefty bassist who wants six strings of range without sacrificing tonal clarity in the low register, this one’s worth a serious look.
