Description

Schecter built the Robert Smith UltraCure VI as a signature baritone six-string bass-guitar hybrid, positioned within the UltraCure line as a high-specification artist instrument. The model carried item number 363 and was finished in Silver Burst Pearl. Construction followed a set-neck design with Ultra Access, pairing a mahogany body with a three-piece maple neck reinforced by carbon fiber rods — an arrangement Schecter used to address long-scale stability at the instrument's 30-inch scale.

The rosewood fretboard ran 24 X-Jumbo frets across a 14-inch radius, with a Thin 'C' neck profile measuring .787 inches at the first fret and .866 inches at the twelfth. The 42mm Graph Tech XL Black Tusq nut fed into Hipshot Grip-Lock tuners. Hardware throughout was chrome, anchored by a TonePros bridge system with custom brass saddles. Three Seymour Duncan Jazzmaster-voiced pickups — SJAG-1N at the neck, SJAG-1M in the middle, and SJAG-1B at the bridge — were controlled via a volume knob, a tone knob, and three individual on-off slider switches, all mounted with metal knurled knobs secured by set screws. The instrument shipped strung with Ernie Ball Hellcat VI Custom Strings gauged 90-75-56-44-34-24. A matching G&G hardcase (item 982) was available separately.

Owners seeking setup assistance, fret work, or hardware replacement should consult a qualified guitar technician familiar with baritone-scale instruments, as the 30-inch scale and non-standard string gauges influence nut slot dimensions, saddle spacing, and intonation procedure.

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.
