Description

Schecter built the Stiletto Session-5 FL as a fretless five-string electric bass within its Stiletto Session series, positioning it for players who required the continuous pitch control of a fretless neck alongside active electronics and extended-range string spacing. The instrument was manufactured in South Korea with a bolt-on construction and a swamp ash body finished in Aged Natural Satin.

The maple neck carried a fretless maple fretboard with a 12" (305mm) radius and ebony side block markers, giving players a visual reference along the edge of the neck. Nut duties fell to a Graph Tech XL Black Tusq unit at 1.771" (45mm) width, and the neck profile was a C-shape measuring .826" (21mm) at the first position and .905" (23mm) at the twelfth. The 35" (889mm) scale fed through a Schecter Custom Bass String Thru bridge that also accepted top loading, with all hardware finished in black. Electronics consisted of an EMG 40DC at the bridge and an EMG 40J at the neck, driven by an 18-volt battery compartment and controlled via master volume, blend, and a 3-band EMG active EQ. Knobs were metal knurled with set screws, and Schecter tuners completed the headstock. The bass shipped strung with Ernie Ball 5-String Flatwound #2810 strings, a practical default for fretless playing.

Owners seeking setup guidance, fretboard maintenance, or compatible replacement parts — including Graph Tech XL Black Tusq nuts, EMG 40-series pickups, or Ernie Ball flatwound string sets — should consult a qualified bass technician or luthier experienced with active electronics and fretless instruments.

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.

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.
