Our take on the Schecter C-4 Standard Tobacco Burl

The Schecter C-4 Standard is a four-string, 24-fret electric bass with a mahogany body topped in burl and a maple/mahogany neck. Its thin C-shape neck and 24 frets give it a faster, more guitar-like feel than a classic Precision or Jazz Bass, and the dual humbuckers push a fuller, hotter tone than passive single-coil basses. It suits rock and metal players who want modern looks and easy upper-fret access. The trade-off is weight and a less traditional, more aggressive voice than vintage-style basses.

Questions and answers

Is the Schecter C-4 Standard good for beginners?
Yes, if you want a modern rock bass. The slim neck is easy to handle, but the weight and hot pickups may not suit everyone starting out.
How does it compare with a Fender Precision Bass?
The C-4 has 24 frets, a thinner neck and dual humbuckers, so it plays faster and sounds hotter. A Precision is simpler, lighter and more traditional in tone.
Does it have active or passive pickups?
The C-4 Standard uses passive humbuckers, so no battery is needed. Its output is still stronger than typical single-coil basses.
How many frets and what scale is it?
It has 24 frets on a full-size 34-inch scale, giving two full octaves and easy access to the high register.
What wood is the body and neck?
The body is mahogany with a burl top, and the neck is maple with a mahogany center, built for warmth and sustain.
Is it right-handed only?
This model is right-handed. Left-handed players would need to look at other Schecter basses.
