Schecter Guitar Research CV-5 Bass 5-String Electric Bass Guitar

collapse expand iconDescription

The Schecter CV-5 five-string bass is a smooth, versatile players instrument—but without being overly complicated. It features a 22-fret, thin-C maple neck with carbon fiber reinforcements and a rosewood fretboard. It's all anchored to an ash body with excellent upper-fret access. The powerful Diamond J-Bucker pickups provide crisp, punchy sound. And the controls let you dial in your exact tone, with master tone and volume knobs, a 3-way pickup select and 3-way series/split/parallel switches.
