Schecter positioned the Ultra-5 (item 2128) as a five-string bass built around a neck-through construction with Ultra Access — a long-tenon joint designed to preserve upper-fret reach. The instrument was finished in Satin Black and manufactured in South Korea.
The neck was a five-piece Mahogany/Maple laminate reinforced with Carbon Fiber Reinforcement Rods, shaped to a Thin 'C' profile measuring .787" at the first fret and .866" at the twelfth. It carried a 35" (889mm) scale, a 16" (406mm) radius Ebony fretboard with 20 X-Jumbo frets and Pearloid Offset/Reverse Dot inlays, and a Graph Tech XL Black Tusq nut at 1.771" (45mm) width. The Mahogany body featured a Flat Top with Raised Center and Black 1-ply binding. Both pickup positions were loaded with EMG TBHZ humbuckers, wired to a Volume/Volume/Tone control layout with Grip Tip Speed Knobs. The Schecter Custom Bass bridge accepted either string-through-body or top-load stringing. Hardware throughout was finished in Black, and Open Gear Lightweight tuners were fitted at the headstock. Schecter specified Ernie Ball 5-String Super Long #2850 (.045–.130) strings at the factory. A 2-Way Adjustable Truss Rod with a 5/32" (4mm) Allen nut is accessible for neck relief adjustments.
Owners sourcing replacement parts — particularly the Graph Tech XL Black Tusq nut, EMG TBHZ pickups or the string-through bridge saddles — should confirm measurements against the physical instrument and consult a qualified guitar technician or luthier for installation and setup.
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.
