collapse expand iconDescription

The Schecter Guitar Research Reaper-5 Left-Handed Bass offers a sleek, modern instrument designed to handle a variety of musical styles. Its swamp ash body delivers a resonant, articulate tone that cuts through any mix with clarity. Topped with a figured poplar burl, this bass not only sounds great but also stands out with its visually striking design. The maple neck, reinforced with walnut stringers and carbon fiber, ensures rock-solid stability, while the ebony fingerboard with offset pearloid inlays provides a smooth and responsive playing surface.

Schecter USA Pickups for a Wide Range of Tones
Equipped with two Schecter USA pickups, the Reaper-5 Left-Handed Bass gives you access to a diverse palette of tones. The M-50 bridge pickup is perfect for delivering punchy midrange tones, ideal for aggressive playing styles. In contrast, the P-50 neck pickup offers warm, rounded lows that are perfect for smooth, melodic lines. The master volume control allows you to blend the pickups, while the Darkglass Tone Capsule EQ provides precise tone shaping with controls for bass, mid, and upper-mid frequencies, allowing you to dial in anything from classic bass sounds to your own signature tone.

18V Darkglass EQ for On-the-Fly Tone Shaping
The Reaper-5 Left-Handed Bass is equipped with an 18V Darkglass Tone Capsule EQ, giving you powerful tone-shaping capabilities right at your fingertips. This 3-band EQ allows you to boost or cut at specific frequencies, enhancing the natural tonal qualities of the bass. Whether you need deep lows for dub, punchy mids for funk, or clear highs to cut through a dense mix, the Tone Capsule EQ adapts to any musical situation, making the Reaper-5 a versatile choice for any bassist.

Designed for Comfort and Playability
With its thin C-shaped neck profile, the Reaper-5 Left-Handed Bass is designed for comfort, whether you play with a pick or prefer fingerstyle. The 35" scale length ensures balanced string tension across all five strings, while the 16" radius ebony fingerboard and 24 jumbo frets make slides and bends effortless. Combined with its black chrome hardware and Schecter USA pickups, this bass not only plays great but also looks sleek and professional on stage.

Built to Withstand the Demands of the Road
The Reaper-5 Left-Handed Bass is as durable as it is beautiful, designed to withstand the challenges of live performances and touring. The swamp ash body and maple neck provide a sturdy foundation, while the Schecter USA pickups are built for reliability show after show. The Schecter Diamond Custom bridge offers both string-through and top-load options, catering to your preferred playing style. When it's time to hit the road, the premium Schecter SGR-6B hardshell case will keep your bass safe and secure during travel.
