Schecter - Stargazer-5 Gloss Black

When you put Schecter's 5-string Stargazer-5 Gloss Black bass in your hands, the first thing you feel is that subtle balance, the warmth of the mahogany body, the deep black lacquer, the chrome sheen of the TonePros action. The three-piece maple neck blends into the body with a fluidity that invites your fingers to glide towards the deepest bass. Engage your five Ernie Ball strings (.045-.130) and the 35" long scale unleashes an almost cinematic fullness.

On the neck, the Schecter USA J-25 pickup brings a suave, almost singing roundness; on the bridge, the M-25 is incisive, ready to cut through a dense mix. The 3-way switch on the bridge pickup and the coil-tap switch on the neck open up a range of textures: from vintage feedback to modern punch. The volume, blend and tone controls allow you to sculpt the sound on the fly, among a thousand nuances.

In rehearsals, this bass gives you space with full bass notes, expressive midrange, precise highs without aggression, it knows how to be as present as effaced according to needs. It gives you confidence in front of an audience and encourages you to explore the smallest nooks and crannies of sound.
