Our take on the Schecter Reaper-4 Bass Guitar 4 String

The Schecter Reaper-4 is a four-string electric bass built for modern rock and metal players. It pairs a swamp ash body with a figured top, a reinforced maple and walnut neck with carbon fiber rods, and a 34-inch scale. Its standout feature is the Schecter USA M-40 and P-40 pickup set paired with an 18V Darkglass Tone Capsule EQ, which gives far more tone shaping than the passive or simple active circuits on most basses in its class. The thin C neck profile and 16-inch radius ebony board with 24 jumbo stainless steel frets make fast playing comfortable. It suits players who want aggressive, sculptable tone and stable tuning in a solid, gig-ready instrument.

Best forRock and metal bassists who want an active, sculptable tonePlayers who use fast, technical lines and high-fret accessGigging musicians who want a stable neck and stainless fretsBuyers who want USA pickups and a Darkglass preamp in one bass
Pros
  • Schecter USA M-40 and P-40 pickups give a strong, flexible HH voice
  • 18V Darkglass Tone Capsule adds bass, mid and upper-mid contour control
  • Carbon fiber neck rods and multi-ply maple/walnut construction resist movement
  • 24 jumbo stainless steel frets hold up to heavy playing
  • Hipshot hardtail bridge with string-through-body loading
  • Thin C neck profile and 16-inch radius play fast
Cons
  • Active 18V circuit needs two batteries and adds a dependency on power
  • Limited color and finish options compared with mainstream basses
  • Stainless steel frets and active electronics are more than beginners need
  • Heavier solid ash body than some modern lightweight basses

What reviewers say

Owners of the Reaper series praise the fast neck, stable construction and the wide tonal range from the Darkglass preamp. Most criticism centers on the active circuit's battery dependence and the bass being heavier than expected.

What people mention
  • Neck feelPraisedPlayers describe the thin C profile and 16-inch radius as fast and easy to move around on.
  • Active EQPraisedThe Darkglass Tone Capsule is called flexible, with mid controls that actually change the character of the tone.
  • BatteryCriticisedThe 18V active circuit needs two batteries, which owners see as an extra thing to manage.
  • WeightMixedSome owners find the solid ash body heavier than expected over long gigs.
  • Build stabilityPraisedCarbon fiber rods and multi-ply neck construction are credited with keeping tuning and relief steady.

Questions and answers

Is the Reaper-4 good for metal?
Yes. The HH pickup set and Darkglass preamp give aggressive, mid-forward tones, and the 24 stainless frets and thin neck suit fast playing.
Does it need batteries?
Yes. The Darkglass Tone Capsule is an active 18V circuit, so it runs on two 9V batteries. It will not produce sound without them.
How does it compare with a passive Fender-style bass?
It offers far more onboard EQ and a hotter, more modern voice. A passive bass is simpler and needs no batteries but gives less tone shaping.
What is the scale length and nut width?
It has a 34-inch scale and a 42mm nut, standard long-scale bass dimensions.
What is in the box?
The bass itself. Check the listing for a case or gig bag, since Schecter does not always include one.
Is it right for a beginner?
It works, but the active electronics and stainless frets are more instrument than most beginners need. A simpler passive bass is usually a better first buy.
Where is the Schecter Reaper-4 Bass Guitar 4 String cheapest?
At Guitar Center, for $1,119.00, as of our latest check.
