Description

Schecter positioned the Stiletto Custom-4 as a mid-tier four-string bass within its Stiletto series, built in Indonesia with a bolt-on neck construction secured by six bolts. The instrument was designed around an active electronics platform aimed at players seeking tonal flexibility in a production-line instrument.

The body is mahogany with a flamed maple top incorporating a walnut accent, finished here in Natural Satin. The multi-ply maple and walnut neck runs a 34-inch scale with a Thin 'C' profile, measuring .787 inches at the first fret and .866 inches at the twelfth. The rosewood fretboard carries 24 X-Jumbo frets at a 16-inch radius, with pearloid offset dot inlays and a Graph Tech XL Black Tusq nut at 1.496 inches wide. Hardware is finished in satin gold throughout, including the S-Tek bridge and Schecter tuners. Both pickup positions are loaded with EMG 35HZ humbuckers, routed through a master volume, blend control, and a 2-band EMG active EQ. A dedicated 9-volt clip-in battery compartment serves the active circuit. The instrument shipped strung with Ernie Ball 4-String Super Long strings (.045–.105).

Owners sourcing replacement parts — including the Graph Tech XL Black Tusq nut, EMG 35-series pickups, or S-Tek bridge components — or requiring neck relief, fret, or electronics work should consult a qualified bass guitar technician.

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.

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.
