Description

Schecter built the J-5 LH (item 2915) as a five-string, left-handed J-style bass positioned within their production line alongside other bolt-on, long-scale instruments. Constructed in Indonesia with an alder body and a bolt-on maple neck, it was paired with a maple fretboard and finished in Sea Foam Green with black hardware throughout.

The J-5 LH carried a 35-inch (889 mm) scale length, a 16-inch (406 mm) fretboard radius, and 21 narrow X-Jumbo frets. The Thin 'C' neck profile measures .787 inches (20 mm) at the first fret and .866 inches (22 mm) at the twelfth, with a 1.771-inch (45 mm) nut width occupied by a Graph Tech XL Ivory Tusq nut. A two-way adjustable truss rod with heel-access spoke wheel provides relief adjustment. Both pickup positions were loaded with Schecter USA MonsterTone-J™ single-coil pickups, with the control layout running Volume/Volume/Tone; the tone knob incorporates a push-pull coil-tap function. The Schecter Custom Bass bridge accepts either string-through-body or top-load stringing. Black knurled metal knobs with set screws, Schecter tuners, and black offset/reverse dot inlays complete the specification. The instrument shipped without a case; the SGR-Universal Bass case was sold separately.

Owners needing setup work, nut replacement, or bridge saddle adjustment should consult a qualified bass guitar technician, who can confirm compatibility with standard J-bass replacement parts against the specific dimensions listed above.

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.

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.
