Big Bass Tone with Schecter Bling

Rock out in style with the Schecter Omen Extreme-4 Bass Guitar. The classy flame maple top and black chrome hardware on this booming bass adorn a mahogany body and maple neck that's topped with a rosewood fingerboard. You'll love the pair of Schecter Diamond Bass pickups and the 2-band active EQ; this setup lets you conjure practically any kind of bass tone you want — and plenty of it. Top-grade components keep this bass stable and perfectly in tune for worry-free performance. Keep the low end locked down with the Schecter Omen Extreme-4 Bass Guitar!

Custom Schecter hardware for high performance

One of the notable facets about Schecter's more affordable basses is the hardware. Unable to source an affordable 4-string bridge that still delivers the performance and stability serious guitarists demand, Schecter simply decided to create one. This Schecter Diamond Bass bridge gives you the stability you need plus a massive range of intonation. Also a nice surprise, the sealed and permanently lubricated tuning machines on the Schecter Omen Extreme-4 let you stay in tune like a pro.

Killer tonewood combo balances rich sound with serious sustain

As with any bass guitar, the choice of tonewoods Schecter used has a huge impact on both the sound and feel of the Omen Extreme-4. To keep this instrument light enough to play for hours yet resonant enough for metal, Schecter selected mahogany and flame maple for the body and maple for the neck. This combination gives the Omen Extreme-4 plenty of bite, without limiting the low-end impact. Add to that a naturally conditioned rosewood fingerboard, and you've got killer sound and feel. Take it from the Sweetwater crew: the Omen Extreme-4 will give you years of great performance.

Powerful 2-band EQ lets you dial in the perfect tone

When you need a specific tone for a session, there's nothing like an active EQ. The Schecter Omen Extreme-4 bass sports a powerful 2-band EQ that gives you a fat low end and snappy highs. From funk to jazz to nu metal, the Omen Extreme-4's EQ has the tone-sculpting power you demand in a bass.

Schecter Omen Extreme-4 Bass Guitar Features:

  • Supremely comfortable contoured mahogany body with flame maple top
  • Maple neck and rosewood fingerboard optimized for fast bass playing
  • Schecter humbucking pickups deliver deep bass tones
  • 2-band active EQ lets you dial in your perfect tone

Amazing Bass

As a "returning to bass after a long absence" player, I was looking for an instrument that was high quality, not overly expensive, and that has great sound and tonal variety. I had played lower quality instruments way back when (30+ years ago) when I was playing with friends and trying to teach myself. I had no idea what I was really looking for now, especially since I committed to learning the bass properly this time around.

My sales rep, Jack Wellington, guided me through my research process and helped me arrive at the Omen Extreme-4. It's been a couple months since it arrived and I've really enjoyed playing it. The sound is very good, with the ability to create a wide variety of tones. The pickups are adequate for my needs right now, but I know I'll likely upgrade them to the actual EMGs that Schecter modeled them after.

I cannot say enough good things about my dealings with Sweetwater and the staff there. The 55 point inspection was good and the bass arrived in very playable condition. I did have a luthier give it a setup and he tweaked a few minor things to get the action where I wanted it. But it wasn't much he had to do to get it there. He remarked multiple times about how great the fit and finish were on the bass. It won't be my last bass, but I'm pretty sure it'll always be in my collection. It's too good to let go of, especially for the price.

The Omen

I will start with the fact that I did not buy my Omen-4 from Sweetwater but I have had it for over a year.
Honestly, the bass is well rounded instrument for the price point. The frets feel pretty good overall. The neck feels really smooth and soft which allows for fast playing up and down the neck with no resistance.

The pick-ups, being the reproduction second-rate humbucking pickups they are, are lacking in tonal variety and feel overly compressed. They don't seem to punch or growl like EMG, Fishman, or Seymour Duncan pickups can.

But other than that, the bass is definitely a great buy for an intermediate musician or some looking for a work horse to get the job done. I would advise buying EMG pickups or Seymour Duncan's to replace the stock pickups though. Luckily Sweetwater carries both!
