This forward-thinking bass guitar features a bubinga-topped mahogany body, ensuring maximum natural tone and refined looks. EMG 40HZ humbuckers provide a smooth attack, level highs, and a warm, focused low end that you can shape to perfection with an active 3-band EQ. Explore new frontiers on this bass, thanks to its sleek body contours, Ultra-access Neck Carve, and easy-playing multi-scale rosewood fingerboard with 24 X-jumbo frets and a Graph Tech XL Black TUSQ nut. The Stiletto Studio-5 FF delivers rock-solid intonation, by way of a Schecter S-Tek bridge and tuners. Eye-catching satin gold hardware completes the picture.





Natural tone and resonance





The Schecter Stiletto Studio-5 FF is chock-full of natural tone, thanks to its bubinga-crowned mahogany body. The mahogany imparts a gorgeous blend of warmth and resonance. This already exquisite tone is then accented by bright mids and a well-defined bottom, by virtue of its ever-sustaining bubinga top, which also lends to the Stiletto Studio-5 FF a refined, eye-catching appearance. At Sweetwater, we appreciate a bass that produces great-sounding tone ? even before you plug it in!





EMG 40HZ pickups and an active 3-band EQ





Do you like your bass tone warm and fat? Of course you do. That's why you'll fall hard and fast for the Stiletto Studio-5 FF's EMG pickups. The culmination of over 30 years of pickup design, EMG's 40HZ bass humbuckers use their ceramic and steel design to provide you with smooth attack, level highs, and a low end that's as warm as it is focused. What's more, the Stiletto Studio-5 FF's active 3-band EQ offers you an incredible range of tone. Together, these electronics make dialing in your ideal sound child's play, no matter what type of music you're playing or what kind of technique you use.





Explore new tonal expressions





The Schecter Stiletto Studio-5 FF's Thin "C" neck and multi-scale rosewood fingerboard throw open the gates of stylistic exploration and invite you to expand your playing in ways a standard scale might not. Not only does it give this bass deep-reaching low end, but it also does so without sacrificing playability in the high registers. So we dare you ? go up and down the Stiletto Studio-5 FF's easy-playing rosewood fingerboard. You're guaranteed to find new tonal expressions.
