Schecter positioned the Stiletto Custom-5 as a dedicated five-string bass within its Stiletto series, built in Indonesia to a 35-inch extended scale intended to preserve string tension and clarity in the lower register. Construction followed a 6-bolt neck-through-body approach with a maple and walnut multi-ply neck, and the mahogany body carried a flamed maple top with walnut accent. The finish shown was Natural Satin.
The neck carried a thin 'C' profile measuring .787 inches at the first fret and .866 inches at the twelfth, with a 16-inch radius rosewood fretboard, 24 X-jumbo frets, and pearloid offset dot inlays. The 1.771-inch nut width used a Graph Tech XL Black Tusq nut, and a 2-way adjustable truss rod provided neck relief adjustment via a 5/32-inch Allen nut. Both bridge and neck positions housed EMG 40HZ pickups, driven through an active 2-band EMG EQ circuit. Controls comprised a master volume, a blend, and the EQ section, all on metal knurled knobs with set screws. Hardware throughout was finished in satin gold. The S-Tek bridge, Schecter tuners, and a 9-volt clip-in battery compartment completed the specification. Strings were factory-fitted with Ernie Ball 5-String Super Long #2850 gauged .045–.130.
Owners sourcing replacement parts — including the Graph Tech XL Black Tusq nut, EMG 40-series pickups, or S-Tek bridge components — should verify fit against the specifications above; a qualified guitar technician or luthier can assist with setup, nut work, or active electronics servicing.
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.
