The Schecter Banshee Bass brings classic tones with a more contemporary aesthetic. The Banshee Bass has a short, 30" scale length which makes it easier to fret and bend notes thanks to the lower string tension. The added benefit of a short scale bass is the more pronounced low-end and less high-end you get with shorter and looser strings. At the heart of the Banshee Bass is the Schecter Diamond QPA P-Bass-style pickup providing that classic, warm, rounded bass tone. The neck is a comfortable thin C shape and features a 16"-radius rosewood fingerboard provides a smooth, natural-feeling playing surface. Other features include a carbon fibre reinforced maple neck, a Graph Tech XL Black Tusq nut, a high mass bridge and light weight tuners.
