Schecter produces both time-honored replicas and contemporary single-coil and humbucker pickups for both guitars and basses. All pickups from A for “Apocalypse” to Z for “Z Plus” are produced in the USA. From vintage to ultra-hot sounds, from four to eight strings, Schecter has something for everyone.
The WSC KG400 or “Wet-String Compensation” tuners help keep the bass in tune even when the strings are wet, which can happen if a player sweats during a performance or the weather is humid/humid. The WSC mechanism compensates for changes in string tension caused by moisture, allowing the bass to stay in tune longer.
A rosewood fretboard is characterized by a warm, resonant tone quality. The density and structure of rosewood help the string vibrations to be transmitted efficiently, resulting in a balanced sound spectrum with emphasized lows, clear mids and silky highs.
