Description

Schecter positioned the Stiletto Studio-5 as a dedicated five-string electric bass within its Stiletto Studio series, built in South Korea. The instrument was constructed with a neck-through-body configuration featuring Ultra Access, placing it among Schecter's more refined bass offerings of the period.

The multi-ply Maple/Walnut neck ran through a Mahogany body capped with a Bubinga top in a flat-top contour, finished in Honey Satin. The 35-inch scale — common to extended-range bass designs — was paired with 24 X-Jumbo frets on a Rosewood fretboard with a 16-inch radius and Abalone Offset Dot inlays. Nut duties were handled by a Graph Tech XL Black Tusq unit at 1.771 inches wide, feeding into Schecter tuners finished in Satin Gold. Both pickup positions carried an EMG 40HZ humbucker, driven by an 18-volt active circuit with EMG's three-band E/Q. Controls comprised a master volume, a blend pot, and the three-band EQ, operated via metal knurled knobs with set screws. The Diamond Custom Bass bridge and a two-way adjustable truss rod with a 5/32-inch Allen nut completed the hardware complement. Schecter specified Ernie Ball 5 String Super Long #2850 (.045–.130) as the factory string set.

Owners requiring bridge saddle adjustments, nut work, or active electronics service should consult a qualified bass technician familiar with 35-inch scale instruments and 18-volt active systems.

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.
