Schecter Riot-5 Bass - Aurora Burst Reviews
The Schecter Riot-5 electric bass looks and sounds wicked; its high-end boutique visuals and appointments belying its amazingly affordable price tag. Premium tonewoods are used throughout, including richly grained swamp ash for the sleekly sculpted body and beautiful burl for the top veneer. The Riot-5's thin bolt-on multi-ply maple/walnut neck and ebony fingerboard give you smooth playability and superior stability, courtesy of embedded carbon fiber reinforcement rods. The electronics package is top-flight as well, with a pair of active EMG pickups and 3-band EQ delivering the versatile tone you need to ace any live gig or studio session.

Awesome Bass, Great Value
I get alot of positive feedback on this bass. Good balance, great tone. Alot of bang for the buck. I have played much more expensive basses that were not as good as this one. A shout out to Mike Bell for great customer service.
Tried and true
There are two things you can count on, quality care from Sweetwater and the amazing instruments that Schecter provides. I've played so many Schecter's over the last ten plus years and each instrument is just perfect. Any issues I have ever faced, Schecter has taken care of immediately. This particular beauty is no exception, she exceeds my expectations and then some! Quell the discursive thoughts and buy it already, you will love it!
Very easily my favorite sounding bass
Never owned a Schecter before, but man was I missing out. Plays like butter and sounds like a dream. Once I heard what pickups were loaded in this, EMGs P and J style pickups in a soapbar body, I had to get it. Now I'm looking for other Schecters to add to the collection.
