Schecter Michael Anthony Bass in Carbon Grey

Sound & Tone

The alder body and bolt-on maple/walnut neck give this 34″-scale four-string a firm, punchy foundation with clear note definition, while the rosewood fretboard rounds off the attack slightly. The Schecter USA MonsterTone-P neck pickup supplies thick, articulate lows and midrange growl, and the MonsterTone-J bridge unit adds a tighter, more focused bite; the 3-way switch lets you blend or isolate them for anything from classic P-style thump to a leaner, cutting bridge tone. It’s a practical fit for rock and hard rock where the bass needs to sit audibly in a loud mix, with the thin ‘C’ neck and X-Jumbo frets supporting fast pick or fingerstyle work.

Schecter Michael Anthony Electric Bass Carbon Grey

The Schecter Michael Anthony Bass delivers a balanced platform for session work and mix-ready recordings. Its thin ‘C’ neck profile and lightweight construction around 8. The 34″ scale and 1.496″ nut width provide consistent finger positioning across multiple takes, while the carbon grey finish with black hardware presents cleanly on camera or in band photos without visual distraction. Built around the specifications of a working bassist, this instrument prioritizes stability in the studio environment.

Recording Playability & Neck Response

The thin maple/walnut multi-ply neck measures .787″ at the first fret and .866″ at the 12th, enabling quick position shifts between sections without introducing unwanted hand tension into recordings. Twenty-one X-Jumbo frets on a 12″ fretboard radius paired with a Graph Tech XL Black Tusq nut and 2-way adjustable truss rod ensure repeatable intonation across multiple takes and allow mid-session setup adjustments to dial in the exact feel needed for a given arrangement.

Tone & Mix Character

Dual Schecter USA MonsterTone pickups—a P-style neck unit and J-style bridge—capture articulate lows and defined mids that sit cleanly in dense mixes. The straightforward volume/tone/3-way switch configuration lets you shape tone character between takes without overcomplicating the signal path. The WSC THD4 bass bridge and WSC KG400 tuners maintain tuning stability across recording sessions, while metal knurled knobs with set screws prevent accidental tone shifts during active playing. Factory strung with Ernie Ball Super Long .045–.105 strings, the bass is session-ready out of the box.
