Description

Schecter positioned the Riot-4 Session as a bolt-on construction, active-electronics bass within its lineup, built in South Korea with a swamp ash body and a maple neck and fretboard. The flat top with bevel edge body pairs with a C-profile neck and a 34-inch scale, targeting players who required a modern, low-action feel across all twenty-four frets.

The neck carries 24 narrow extra-jumbo frets on a 12-inch radius fretboard with ebony side block inlays. The nut is a Graph Tech XL Black Tusq unit at 1.496 inches wide, and the two-way adjustable truss rod is accessed with a 5/32-inch allen key. Pickups are an EMG 35DC at the bridge and an EMG 35J at the neck, running through an 18-volt battery system. The control layout is master volume, blend, and a three-band EMG active EQ, with metal knurled knobs secured by set screws. All hardware is finished in black. The Schecter Custom Bass bridge accepts both string-through-body and top-load stringing. Schecter tuners and a set of Ernie Ball 4 String Super Long strings (.045–.105) completed the factory specification.

Owners sourcing replacement parts should note that the EMG 35-series pickup routing, Graph Tech XL Tusq nut, and string-through or top-load bridge configuration each have specific dimensional requirements; a qualified bass technician or luthier can confirm compatibility before any components are fitted.

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.
