Schecter positioned the Hellraiser C-VI LH (item 185) as a six-string bass guitar built for left-handed players, sitting within the Hellraiser series — a line that carried the brand's higher-specification hardware and active electronics. The instrument was configured for extended-range, baritone-register playing, evidenced by its 30-inch scale and Ernie Ball Hellcat VI Custom string gauges (90-75-56-44-34-24).
The body was constructed from mahogany with a quilted maple arched top, finished in Black Cherry with black chrome hardware throughout. The set-neck joint featured Ultra Access contouring, and the three-piece mahogany neck incorporated carbon fiber reinforcement rods and a Thin 'C' profile measuring .787 inches at the first fret and .866 inches at the twelfth. The 24-fret rosewood fingerboard ran to a 14-inch radius with abalone Gothic Cross inlays, abalone binding with black/white/black multi-ply, and a Graph Tech XL Black Tusq nut at 1.653 inches wide. Electronics consisted of an EMG 81TW at the bridge and an EMG 89R at the neck, each controlled by a push-pull volume pot — allowing coil-splitting — alongside a master tone and three-way selector switch. The TonePros bridge system used custom brass saddles, and locking tuners were Schecter's own. Power was supplied via a 9-volt clip-in battery compartment.
Owners requiring setup assistance, fret work, or guidance on sourcing replacement parts compatible with TonePros hardware, Graph Tech XL nuts, or EMG active pickups should consult a qualified guitar technician or luthier.
STRAIGHT TALK
What Stands Out
Keep In Mind
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.
Owner photos
Put yours on the record.
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.
