Description
Michael Anthony didn’t want a pristine showpiece — he wanted a bass that looks and plays like it’s already been through a thousand gigs. The Rat Rod delivers exactly that, with a custom distressed finish over an alder bound body that keeps the tone warm and the vibe unmistakably lived-in.
- Contoured 4-bolt hard rock maple neck, built from a 5-piece quarter-sawn hardrock maple/walnut blank for stability under stage abuse
- Indian Rosewood bound fingerboard with custom dot and skull acrylic inlays — a nod to Anthony’s own aesthetic
- 21 Jescar Premium German Silver frets (6100), Graphtech Black TUSQ nut
- Schecter Custom ‘C’ Shape neck in Vintage Satin, 34″ scale, 12″ radius, 1.515″ nut width
Plug in and you get Schecter’s Custom Wound Monster Tone Untapped PJ pickups — a pairing that gives you thick, punchy P-bass low end with the added growl and definition of a J in the bridge. Master volume, master tone, and a 3-way toggle let you dial between them or blend on the fly, so you’re covered from thumping root notes to cutting slap lines without changing basses.
Hardware matches the attitude: a Hi-Mass machined brass bridge with string-thru design for extra sustain and low-end weight, plus Schecter Custom bass tuners with a Hip Shot Drop D lever for quick tuning drops mid-set. This is a bass built for players who care more about tone and feel than showroom shine — grab it, gig it, and let it get more character every night.
