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 a burl-topped mahogany body, providing a rich, harmonically deep foundation that’s well-balanced and rife with full-spectrum articulation. 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
In keeping the sonic complexity of the C-5 Standard’s tonewood assemblage in mind, Schecter spared no effort in supplying this bass with the tools needed to bring its foundational tones to life in electrifying voicing. The bridge- and neck-mounted positions each feature their respective iteration of Schecter’s Diamond soapbar pickups, supporting a range of sonorous low-end thunder, from light and clean to crunched out and overdriven. Each pickup is attenuated by independently controllable Master Volume and Tone knobs, making the C-5 Standard rife with tone-crafting possibilities, ensuring virtually any style is primed for premium performance.

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”-shaped 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.
