Schecter built the Stiletto-5 Session as a five-string electric bass positioned within the Stiletto Session line, manufactured in South Korea with a bolt-on construction and a swamp ash body finished in Aged Natural Satin. The instrument was designed around active electronics and an extended 35-inch scale, placing it toward the working-player end of the Stiletto range.
The maple neck carries a C-profile and a maple fretboard with ebony side-block inlays, a 12-inch radius, and 24 narrow extra-jumbo frets. The nut is a Graph Tech XL Black Tusq unit at 1.771 inches wide, seated above a two-way adjustable truss rod with a 5/32-inch Allen nut. Hardware runs all black, including Schecter tuners and a Schecter Custom Bass bridge that accepts either string-through-body or top-load stringing. Pickups are an EMG 40DC at the bridge and an EMG 40J at the neck, fed into an 18-volt battery compartment and controlled by a master volume, a blend pot, and a three-band EMG active EQ. Knobs are metal knurled with set screws. The instrument was strung from the factory with Ernie Ball 5-String Super Long #2850 (.045–.130).
Owners sourcing replacement parts should note that the bridge accepts standard string-through or top-load stringing, and the nut width of 1.771 inches (45mm) is relevant when fitting a replacement nut. For setup, intonation, or any structural work, consult a qualified bass technician or luthier.
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.
