Schecter built the Stiletto Extreme-5 as a five-string electric bass positioned toward players seeking active electronics and extended low-end range. It sat within the Stiletto line, distinguished by its quilted maple top over a mahogany body and bolt-on maple neck construction, with black chrome hardware throughout.
The bass carried a 35-inch scale length across a 24-fret rosewood fretboard with a 16-inch radius and an X-Jumbo fret profile. The thin 'C' neck profile measured .787 inches at the first fret and .866 inches at the twelfth. A Graph Tech XL Black Tusq nut at 1.771 inches accommodated the five-string spread. Electronics consisted of two Schecter Diamond Bass pickups routed through a master volume, blend control, and active 2-band EQ, powered by a 9-volt clip-in battery compartment. Controls used metal knurled knobs with set screws. The bridge was a Diamond Bass unit. Tuners were Schecter-branded, and the creme 1-ply binding finished the body edges. Pearloid and abalone vector inlays marked the fretboard positions. The instrument shipped strung with Ernie Ball 5 String Super Long #2850 (.045–.130) strings. The SGR-5SB case was sold separately.
Owners sourcing replacement parts — including the Graph Tech XL Black Tusq nut, Diamond Bass bridge saddles, or 9-volt battery clip — should bring the instrument to a qualified guitar technician or luthier who can confirm fit against the original specifications before installation.
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.
