Schecter CV-5 Electric Bass Guitar. Gloss Natural (GNAT)
Brand New. Not available for curbside pickup. Online orders only.
For slap 'n' pop funk to growly modern rock, this heavily modded 5-string brings the best of the mod shop — including low-noise humbuckers with versatile 3-way series/split/parallel mini toggles — to an undeniably classic-feeling design. The CV-5's slender satiny "C" maple neck with carbon fiber reinforcement and heavily contoured lightweight ash body are super comfortable to play from a seated or standing position. Choice hardware and appointments include an S-Tek bridge with adjustable steel saddles, a permanently lubricated Tusq XL nut, and a 6-bolt neck attachment for drift-free performance on the road.
Nearly every bassist cuts their teeth on the classic design suggested by the Schecter CV-5. The CV-5 brings the response, feel, speed, and vibe of the timeless California design to a hot-rodded modern instrument that's perfect for today's rockers.
Hard maple on lightweight ash has been a recipe for great tone since the 1950s. The Schecter CV-5 updates the classic, with a heavily sculpted ash body that hugs the torso, seated or standing, and a 6-bolt maple neck with a satin backing that feels great in the hand.
Decades of rock glory await you in the CV-5's Diamond J-Bucker humbucking pickups and versatile electronics. A master volume, master tone, and 3-way pickup selector make it quick and painless to find great sounds in a flash. But for players who a want a deeper dive, mini toggles for each pickup allow you to split the coils for a more traditional single-coil response, or run pickups in series (rather than parallel) for a heavier hit and beefier output.
