The Schecter C-5 GT 5-string electric bass guitar is designed for full-throttle, high-octane performance that pushes the limits. It features a mahogany body paired with a flamed maple, full radius top and is decorated with a "GT" racing stripe for eye-catching visuals. Armed with an ultrafast 3-piece maple neck, this bass was built for speed and comfort. The neck has been shaped with an ultrathin "C" profile and the deep insert neck joint construction allows easy access to the upper frets. The 16" radius ebony fingerboard is outfitted with 24 extra-jumbo frets, while offset/reverse Roman numeral inlays add a touch of darkness to this speed machine. With an EMG 40DC in the bridge position and an EMG 40P5 in the neck position, master volume and blend controls, and a 2-band EMG EQ, the C-5 GT offers a wealth of sonic possibilities at your fingertips. Rounding out the black hardware is a Schecter Custom bass bridge that will stabilize tuning and withstand anything you can dish out.

    Replaced my old peavey with this beautiful piece and absolutely love it. From funky and groovy to down right low and slamming I haven't found a tone I dont enjoy. Amazing action and craftsmanship paired with the quality components make this thing scream. #sweepstakes

    I have owned a shecter bass before. I loved it. But when I saw this red bass with the gt lines. I fell in love again. They both play great and have great sound. I play out a lot and this beauty makes me look good and sound even better.

  • Plays amazing sounds great feels great!!!! 1 issue though

    This bass is great would buy again. The only issue it has is that you have to buy the extra long scale strings because the nut is cut too shallow for normal scale strings
