Description

Schecter built the Riot-4 LH as a left-handed four-string electric bass within the Riot series, positioning it as a feature-rich instrument with an active electronics package and multi-laminate neck construction. The left-handed configuration (Item No. 1454) was offered in Aurora Burst finish with black hardware across a swamp ash body capped with a burl top in a flat top with bevel edge profile.

The bolt-on neck is a maple and walnut multi-ply assembly reinforced with carbon fiber rods, carrying a thin 'C' profile that measures .787" at the first fret and .866" at the twelfth. The 34" scale ebony fretboard runs 24 X-jumbo frets at a 16" radius, with offset/reverse dot inlays and a 1.496" Graph Tech XL Black Tusq nut. Electronics are built around a pair of EMG custom-series soapbar pickups — a 35PX-CS at the neck and a 35JX-CS at the bridge — controlled through a master volume, a blend pot, and an EMG-B30 three-band active EQ. The Schecter Custom Bass bridge accepts either string-through or top-load stringing. Power is supplied by a single 9-volt battery via a clip-in compartment. Schecter tuners and metal knurled set-screw knobs complete the hardware complement. Factory strings were Ernie Ball 4-String Super Long #2849 (.045–.105).

Owners sourcing replacement parts — including the Graph Tech XL Black Tusq nut, EMG 35-series pickups, or string-through bridge saddles — should consult a qualified guitar technician or luthier to confirm fit against the instrument's specific dimensions before purchase.

From the people who own them

Nothing in The Vault is for sale. These records exist so the instruments stay documented after the manufacturer moves on — and the most useful part of that record is what owners add to it.

The catalog shot showed one finish, under one light, a long time ago. Yours has been played. Photos from owners are what the next person finds when they are trying to identify a part, match a finish, or work out whether the one they just bought is really what the seller said it was.

What do you know about this one?

Specs only go so far. What actually fits, what breaks first, what the factory got right and what everyone ends up changing — that lives with the people who own them, not in a datasheet. Post what you know and it stays on this page for whoever comes looking next.
