The Schecter C-5 Deluxe is a bass guitar you need on your radar! Built with a basswood body, the C-5 Deluxe was tailor-made for rock, metal, and any genre that requires serious performance. A sturdy bolt-on neck joint joins the maple neck to the body for sturdy playability and plenty of sustain. Meanwhile, a rosewood fingerboard feels smooth and substantial under the fretting hand. Lastly, Schecter Diamond Bass humbuckers sit nested in the basswood body, ready to growl with Schecter low-end goodness at every gig. The C-5 Deluxe proves you don’t have to spend half your life savings to get a gig-worthy low-end axe.





Effortlessly playable “C”-shaped neck





Designed for all kinds of modern rock and metal genres, it’s safe to say the C-5 Deluxe can meet the demands of today’s most technical bass players. While its basswood body lends some severe low-end brutality, the C-5 Deluxe’s neck is the cherry on top. The maple neck is cut to a Thin “C” profile and is capped with a sublime, 16-inch radius rosewood fingerboard, rounding out the perfect recipe for fast, unfettered fretting from head to heel. Sweetwater bassists are thoroughly impressed with how easy it is to execute fast runs on this C-5 Deluxe.
