Description

Schecter built the Stiletto Custom-6 as a six-string electric bass positioned within the Stiletto series, manufactured in Indonesia. The model carried a 35-inch extra-long scale and a bolt-on neck construction secured with six bolts, targeting players who required extended low-end range and a fast, slim profile.

The neck was constructed from a maple and walnut multi-ply blank, shaped into a Thin 'C' profile measuring .787 inches at the first fret and .866 inches at the twelfth. It was capped with a rosewood fretboard carrying 24 X-Jumbo frets at a 16-inch radius, pearloid offset dot inlays, and a Graph Tech XL Black Tusq nut at 2.125 inches wide. Dual two-way adjustable truss rods with a 5/32-inch Allen nut gave independent neck correction across the wide six-string span. The mahogany body featured a flat quilted maple top finished in Vampyre Red Satin, with all hardware in black. Electronics consisted of a pair of EMG 40HZ passive-voiced pickups driven through a 2-Band EMG Active EQ, controlled via master volume, blend, and EQ knobs — all metal knurled with set screws — and powered by a 9-volt clip-in battery compartment. The S-Tek bridge and Schecter tuners completed the hardware complement. Strings fitted at the factory were Ernie Ball 6-String Super Long gauged .032–.130.

Owners sourcing replacement nuts, frets, or pickup rings should verify measurements against the original components; a qualified luthier or bass technician can confirm fit and carry out any setup or wiring work.

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.
