Overview

A resonant 5-string bass with fast playability and versatile tone-shaping.

Step into the future of bass with the Schecter Guitar Research Reaper-5 5-string bass guitar, a contemporary extended-range instrument designed for the modern bassist. Its resonant swamp ash body lays the groundwork for a full and articulate tone that sits perfectly in any mix. A stunning figured poplar burl top adds a touch of modern sophistication to its sleek design. The fast and stable maple neck, featuring reinforcing walnut stringers and carbon fiber rods, ensures rock-solid performance. Glide across the smooth ebony fingerboard, adorned with striking offset pearloid inlays, and experience effortless playability.

Unlock a Universe of Sound With Schecter USA Pickups & Darkglass EQ

The Schecter USA M-50 bridge pickup delivers a powerful and punchy midrange, ideal for cutting through dense arrangements. Paired with the Schecter USA P-50 neck pickup, which provides warm and round low-end frequencies, you have a versatile tonal palette at your fingertips. The master volume control allows you to blend these exceptional pickups seamlessly. Take your sonic sculpting to the next level with the integrated 18V Darkglass Tone Capsule EQ, offering precise control over bass, mid and upper-mid frequencies. From vintage warmth to modern aggression, the Reaper-5 empowers you to define your signature sound.

Precision Tone Shaping With the Darkglass Tone Capsule EQ

The onboard 18V Darkglass Tone Capsule EQ provides unparalleled control over your bass tone. This 3-band EQ allows you to boost or cut specific frequencies, enhancing the natural voice of the Reaper-5. Craft deep, rumbling low end for modern genres, sculpt articulate and punchy mids for slap and fingerstyle playing, or add crisp highs for enhanced clarity in complex mixes. The wide-ranging capabilities of the Tone Capsule make the Reaper-5 an incredibly adaptable instrument for any musical style or performance environment.

Engineered for Comfort and Performance

The Reaper-5 is designed with the player in mind. Its comfortable thin C neck profile feels natural in your hand, whether you're laying down intricate fingerstyle grooves or aggressive picked lines. The 35" scale length provides balanced string tension across all five strings, ensuring optimal playability. The smooth 16" radius ebony fingerboard and 24 jumbo frets facilitate effortless bends and smooth transitions. Finished with sleek black chrome hardware and featuring high-quality Schecter USA pickups, this bass delivers both exceptional tone and a striking visual presence on stage.

Built to Endure: Road-Ready Reliability
