Detail 01
Two humbuckers (HH)
Both pickups are hum-cancelling and high output. More aggressive and midrange-forward than a single-coil J or P setup.

Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
A 4-string Schecter bass with two humbuckers and a Black Cherry top, for intermediate players who want an aggressive, cutting tone under $700.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Rock and funk players wanting punch that cuts through a loud mix
- Bassists who want humbucker output without single-coil hum
- Someone upgrading from a starter bass into a mid-tier instrument
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Players after a vintage, scooped, mellow Precision-style thump
- Left-handed players — this is a right-handed instrument
- Anyone who needs a 5th string for low-B parts
What matters in use
The specifications, translated
Catalog numbers tell only part of the story. These are the details most likely to change how this product feels, sounds, or fits into a setup.
Detail 02
Passive electronics
No battery required and no preamp to fail. Tone shaping happens at your amp rather than on the bass.
Detail 03
Maple neck
Stiff and stable, giving a tighter attack and more note clarity — part of why this reads as cutting rather than soft.
Detail 04
4 strings
Standard E-A-D-G. Narrower spacing than a 5-string, easier on the fretting hand and simpler to navigate.
Detail 05
Fretted neck
Frets give consistent intonation and a defined attack, which suits slap and fast fingerstyle better than a fretless.
Detail 06
Black Cherry finish
Dark red over black on a figured top. Grain shows through, so each instrument's pattern is slightly different.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01No amp, cable, strap or case included — budget for those separately
- 02Factory setup rarely matches your touch; a professional setup is worth it
- 03Two humbuckers push a hot signal — some amp inputs will need padding
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Does this bass need a battery?
No. The electronics are passive, so it runs entirely off the pickups. Nothing to charge and nothing to fail mid-set.
02Is it good for slap bass?
It works. The humbuckers are punchy and midrange-forward with a cutting attack, though the tone leans more aggressive than the classic scooped slap sound.
03How does this compare to the 6-string Omen Extreme guitar?
Different instruments entirely. This is a 4-string bass tuned an octave lower; the Omen Extreme-6 is a guitar. They share the family styling and Black Cherry finish.
04What scale length is it?
Not something to guess at from the model name — confirm with Schecter's published figure for this bass before buying if short-scale versus long-scale matters to you.
