Schecter Charles Berthoud CB-4 See-Thru Black Satin E-Bassgitarre

Schecter Charles Berthoud CB-4 See-Thru Black Satin electric bass guitar

The Schecter Charles Berthoud CB-4 See-Thru Black Satin electric bass guitar is the first signature model from YouTube star and bass virtuoso Charles Berthoud. As a solo artist and master of the two-handed tapping technique, Charles stands for a completely new approach to bass playing - technically demanding, musically versatile and sonically outstanding. The CB-4 was developed to support precisely these qualities: maximum playability, dynamic sound control and elegant design combined in a professional instrument for creative bass players.

Ash body with flamed maple top - sound meets style

The CB-4 is based on an ash body, which is known for its brilliant, assertive tone. This is complemented by an eye-catching flamed maple top, which not only gives the bass additional nuances of sound, but also an elegant look. The See-Thru Black Satin finish allows the grain to shine through impressively and ensures a modern, elegant look on stage and in the studio.

Neck-thru design for excellent access and sustain

The full-length neck made of walnut/padauk guarantees maximum stability, excellent vibration transmission and exceptional sustain. The Ultra Access Neck Carve allows effortless access to all 24 jumbo frets, which is particularly useful for solo playing, fast runs or complex tapping passages - perfectly matched to Charles Berthoud's virtuoso style.

Rosewood fingerboard and modern neck profile

The rosewood fingerboard ensures a warm sound, a pleasant playing feel and a classic bass aesthetic. With a scale length of 34" (863 mm) and a nut size of 38 mm, the bass offers a comfortable setup that suits both traditional and modern playing styles. The Thin C neck profile lies smoothly in the hand and enables precise and fatigue-free playing over longer sessions.

Active EMG electronics for maximum sound shaping

Equipped with two EMG 35HZ pickups in the neck and bridge position, the CB-4 delivers a clear, powerful and flexibly adjustable sound. The active EMG B64 3-band EQ with master volume and blend control enables precise sound shaping - from warm fingerstyle tones to aggressive slap sounds or percussive tapping. This means that the bass can be used in any musical environment, whether solo, in an ensemble or on the big stage.

Reliable hardware for professional demands

The Schecter Diamond Custom Bass Bridge ensures stable intonation, even string tension and excellent vibration transmission. Grover Bass 144 Series tuners offer precise and reliable tuning - a must for live and studio use. The black hardware matches the modern design perfectly and underlines the professional character of the instrument.

Ready for immediate use with Ernie Ball Super Long strings

The CB-4 is factory-strung with a set of Ernie Ball 4 String Super Long (.045-.105) - an excellent choice for a powerful fundamental tone, brilliant treble range and excellent playability over the entire scale.
