Schecter C-5 Deluxe Active 5-String Bass Guitar - Satin Black

Command the absolute low-end frequency spectrum with massive active authority and professional-tier length dynamics. The Schecter C-5 Deluxe Active 5-String Bass Guitar (Model: 586-SHC) finished in a sleek, stealthy Satin Black provides an accessible, high-performance solution for bass players looking to transition into the 5-string world without breaking the bank. Built with a contoured, lightweight basswood body, this bass balances structural resonance with superb player comfort, making it a dream to handle during exhausting live sets or prolonged tracking sessions in the studio.

Angkor Music Technical Evaluation: 35-Inch Scale Architecture & Active Tone Shaping

The biggest engineering failure on poor 5-string bass designs is a loose, flabby, or muddy low 'B' string. Schecter completely eliminates this structural issue by utilizing an extended 35-inch (889mm) extra-long scale length. This added inch increases string tension across all five strings, ensuring your low B tracks with a tight, articulate, snappy transient attack that punches straight through thick heavy metal or dense pop arrangements. To drive this powerful acoustic foundation home, the C-5 Deluxe features dual high-output Schecter Diamond Bass humbuckers paired with an active 2-band EQ preamp. This circuit gives you independent boost/cut command over treble and bass frequencies, letting you instantly dial in everything from classic vintage funk mid-presence to modern mid-scooped rock tones.

E-E-A-T Performance Standards: Precision Neck Geometries & Self-Lubricating Hardware

At Angkor Music, our workshop luthiers appreciate Schecter's incredible attention to fretboard playability. Thin 'C' Profile: The rock-solid maple neck boasts an incredibly thin profile measuring just 20mm at the 1st fret, paired with a wide 45mm nut and flat 16-inch radius rosewood fingerboard. This layout spaces the strings perfectly for slap work while keeping the neck lightning-fast. Graph Tech XL Black Tusq Nut: Infused with micro-lubricants, this premium nut stops strings from binding or pinching during aggressive playing, delivering absolute tuning consistency and rock-solid intonation across all 24 narrow extra-jumbo frets.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why is a 35-inch scale length so important on a 5-string bass compared to a traditional 34-inch bass?
Traditional 4-string basses utilize a 34-inch scale length, which works beautifully for standard E-A-D-G tunings. However, when a heavy low B string is introduced to a 34-inch neck, the string can often feel loose, floppy, and lack tonal clarity. By lengthening the neck to a 35-inch extra-long scale, the physical distance pulls the strings tighter under pitch. This results in a much more tactile string response, clearer note definition, and improved fundamental harmonic clarity on your lowest strings.

How does the 'Blend' control operate on the C-5 Deluxe compared to standard pickup selectors?
Rather than stepping through a sudden 3-way switch, the C-5 Deluxe relies on an inline Blend potentiometer featuring a center-position click detent. At the center mark, both humbuckers deliver equal 50/50 volume output. Rotating the knob forward smoothly pans toward the neck pickup to capture vintage, fat warmth. Rolling the knob backward prioritizes the bridge humbucker for sharp mid-bass bite and high-end definition, allowing you to dial in the perfect pickup balance down to the exact percentage.

What kind of battery replacement does the active active circuit require?
The integrated high-headroom preamp is driven by a standard 9V alkaline battery, located inside a secure compartment on the back of the bass. To prevent battery power drainage when you aren't playing, always make sure to unplug your instrument cable from the bass's output jack, as inserting a jack acts as the system's power switch. If you notice your tone starting to distort or lose volume, it is a clear sign your battery is running down and should be swapped out before your next performance.
