Independent shopping perspective
Schecter’s Riot-5 Session is a right-handed five-string electric bass built around an 18V active system and two EMG-designed single coils. A master blend sets the balance between the middle and bridge pickups, while the three-band active EQ gives cut and boost control over bass, middle, and treble. The satin aged natural finish leaves the swamp ash grain visible. With a maple neck, maple fingerboard, 24 frets, fixed bridge, and 34-inch scale, it is a thoroughly specified working bass.
