Premier foundations of low-end sonics for all

Schecter’s Standard series basses expand the scope of accessibility to their lauded designs without compromising the dedication to quality that defines them. The C-5 Standard bass is no exception, with its cornerstone comprising an ash-topped mahogany body, providing a rich, harmonically deep foundation that’s well-balanced and full of projection. The roasted maple neck imbues your bass with full-spectrum brightness and excellent note separation, allowing all manners of picking, slapping, leads, licks, and chords to shine through with plenty of definition. A rosewood fingerboard completes the C-5 Standard’s tonewood quartet, enshrining your sound in a crystalline veneer that adds presence to every register without sacrificing articulation.

Schecter-Designed Pickups for Tailored Bass Contouring

The Schecter C-5 Standard, available at Sadek Music, is equipped with Schecter Diamond soapbar pickups that unleash the full sonic potential of its rich tonewood construction. With dedicated bridge and neck positions, these pickups deliver a wide tonal range — from smooth, articulate cleans to aggressive, overdriven growl. Independent Master Volume and Tone controls give you precise command over your sound, ensuring the C-5 Standard adapts effortlessly to any genre or playing style. Whether you’re laying down thunderous grooves or cutting through with clarity, this bass provides the flexibility and power to keep your performance premium.

Engineered for versatile, powerful performances

With versatility in spades, the C-5 Standard is outfitted to accommodate multitudes of play styles. Twenty-four frets sprawl its 34-inch scale, while the fretboard’s 16-inch radius and the Thin C-shape neck are complemented by the elegant curvature of the C-5 silhouette. Combining all this with its sculpted heel and treble-side cutaway provides uninhibited access to its wealth of latent sonic-sculpting possibilities. Speaking of accessibility, if you’re curious as to why the C-5 Standard features a roasted maple neck, then we’ve got you covered: Roasting maple increases the wood’s dimensional stability. Doing this not only enhances the sonic relationships between itself and the other tonewoods, but it also significantly reduces the risk of twisting or warping. It all adds up to the C-5 Standard being the ideal road warrior with robust resilience to changing environments.
