Schecter Omen-5 Left Handed Bass Guitar, Black

Full Description

Basswood Body with an Arched Top

The Omen bass features a lightweight Basswood body with an arched top contour, providing excellent resonance to enhance the natural tones of the guitar. The wood delivers a well-balanced, fat tone with plenty of grind, creating an incredibly versatile instrument that can play a wide range of musical styles. The basses body is constructed to produce incredible dynamics and plenty of definition, with a muscular midrange that has a touch of softness to it, giving the bass a slight breathiness to its tone. The Schecter Omen also features a Diamond bass bridge, black chrome hardware, and a black finish with ivory binding.

Maple Neck, Rosewood Fingerboard

The Maple neck provides some tightness and cut to the bass's tone, delivering an edge of sizzle to the highs and firmness to its lows. The Maple wood provides bright characteristics to the overall tone, whilst offering a snappy attack in the midrange. Adding a Rosewood fingerboard helps to fur up to the Maple’s sound, whilst contributing to its smoothness. The Rosewood/Maple combination brings warmth to the guitars tone, adding sparkle to the highs, thickness to the lows, and opens up the mids. The Omen also comes with many other features including Schecter tuners, a Graph tech nut, and pearloid semi-goth inlays on the fretboard.

Schecter Diamond Bass Pickups

With a set of Schecter’s Diamond bass pickups, the Omen becomes an incredibly versatile instrument, offing a wide tonal range that can play anything from jazz and blues, to hard rock and metal. Specifically made for the Schecter Omen, and using ceramic magnets, the Diamond bass pickups produce a thick, punchy tone that pushes out the fatter bass tones of the basswood. With its dual-coil design, the pickups offer low noise, high output, and a powerful low end. The Schecter also features a 2-band EQ with controls over the bass and treble, allowing the bass to be shaped to best suit your playing style.
