Schecter J-5 Bass Guitar - Gloss Black
SKU: SCH2913The Schecter J-5 in Gloss Black brings the classic J-style bass into five-string territory, adding a low B string without losing the punch and clarity that define the design. The alder body and bolt-on maple neck deliver a balanced, focused tone, and the extended 35-inch scale gives the low B tight, defined response rather than a floppy feel. A rosewood fingerboard with narrow extra-jumbo frets keeps playability smooth, while two Schecter USA MonsterTone-J pickups supply growl and articulation through two volume controls and a tone control with a push-pull coil-tap. The Schecter custom bridge can be strung through the body or top loaded, letting you adjust string feel to your liking. Finished in classic gloss black, the J-5 is a versatile, gig-ready five-string for players who need extra range in any style.
