Description

Schecter built the Stiletto-5 Session LH as a left-handed, five-string electric bass positioned within the Stiletto Session line. Assembled in South Korea, it featured a bolt-on construction with a swamp ash body, a maple neck in a C-profile, and a maple fretboard carrying ebony side block inlays across 24 narrow extra-jumbo frets. The flat-top body and aged natural satin finish left the wood grain visible without a high-gloss surface.

Electronics centred on an EMG 40DC bridge pickup and an EMG 40J neck pickup, driven by an 18-volt active circuit with a dedicated screw-plate battery compartment. The control layout ran master volume, a blend control, and a three-band EMG active EQ. Hardware throughout was finished in black, including the Schecter Custom Bass bridge — configurable for either string-through or top-load stringing — Schecter tuners, and metal knurled knobs with set screws. The Graph Tech XL Black Tusq nut measured 1.771 inches (45mm) wide, accommodating the five-string 35-inch (889mm) extra-long scale. The two-way adjustable truss rod is accessed with a 5/32-inch (4mm) Allen key. Factory string gauges were Ernie Ball 5 String Super Long #2850, running .045–.130.

Owners seeking setup adjustments, fret work, or replacement parts compatible with the bridge, nut, or active electronics should consult a qualified bass guitar technician.

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.
