Schecter Hellraiser Appraisal

Schecter Hellraiser Extreme-5 Bass Guitar

This is a premium Schecter Hellraiser Extreme-5 five-string electric bass guitar, featuring a mahogany body with a visually striking quilted maple top finished in a 'See-Thru Black Satin' or 'Crimson Red Burst' appearance, though the lighting suggests a darker charcoal/ebony hue. The instrument features a multi-laminate neck-through construction for enhanced sustain and stability. The fretboard is crafted from ebony, adorned with intricate abalone 'Gothic Cross' inlays and capped with white/multi-ply binding that contours the body and headstock. For electronics, it is equipped with high-output active EMG 40TW pickups, identifiable by the gold logo on the covers, paired with an active 3-band EQ controlled by knurled black chrome knobs. The hardware includes a heavy-duty Schecter Custom bridge with string-through-body options and Grover tuners. The overall condition appears to be excellent with no visible dings, scratches on the top, or significant fret wear, though light surface dust is present. This model typically dates from the early 2010s and is characterized by its high-quality craftsmanship intended for professional metal and rock performance.
