Top-grade components keep this bass in stable tune, for worry-free performance. To quote one of our favorite ship captains, "She may not look like much, but she's got it where it counts!"

A quality bass with stripped-down looks
Sometimes less is more, and the Schecter Riot-5 Session bass is no exception. The stripped-down cosmetics give this bass a no-frills look, but nothing could be further from the truth. Schecter loaded this beast with a pair of EMG pickups and an 18-volt 3-band active EQ, so you can nail every tone under the sun. The rugged hardware is ready for all the abuse you can dish out. The black hardware and fretboard inlays, played against the natural finish of the Schecter Riot-5 Session bass, give this bass a cool look that will command attention at any gig.
Humbucking EMG pickups deliver hot bass tones
This bass is ready for a workout. Schecter put a pair of EMG pickups in the Riot-5 Session bass to make sure it could handle anything that was thrown at it. The EMG 35DC ("Dual Coil") uses parallel coils and an ultra-low-noise preamp to give you premium performance with very low noise. For more midrange growl and punch, Schecter included the EMG 35J in the bridge position. Take it from Sweetwater's bass players, these EMG pickups deliver big bass tones while being extremely quiet. No matter what type of gig or session you're at, the Schecter Riot-5 Session bass has the tones you need.
Powerful 3-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 Riot-5 Session bass sports a powerful 18-volt 3-band EQ that gives you more headroom and a smoother low end. From funk to jazz to nu-metal, the Riot-5 Session's EQ has the tone-sculpting power you need in a bass.
