Guitar Center, the largest musical instrument retailer in the U.S., has partnered with Schecter Guitar Research to introduce the Schecter SC-6 Six-String Bass, available exclusively at Guitar Center stores nationwide and online at GuitarCenter.com. Priced at $799.99, the SC-6 expands Guitar Center’s exclusive lineup with a performance-driven instrument that delivers pro-grade tone, advanced ergonomics, and stage-ready reliability in a sleek six-string design.
Built for the modern bassist, the SC-6 is crafted to excel both in the studio and on stage. From its thunderous low B to its articulate high C, the SC-6 offers exceptional clarity and dynamic range, empowering players to explore new sonic territory. At its core are Schecter Diamond 6ST Active Bass Pickups paired with a powerful 18V active 3-band EQ, offering wide tonal sculpting options that cut through any mix—ideal for styles ranging from jazz and fusion to progressive rock and metal.
A Nyatoh body with a natural satin flamed maple top provides rich resonance and standout visual appeal, while the hard rock maple 6-bolt-on neck with walnut stripe and rosewood fretboard ensure durability and smooth playability. Designed with a 35” scale length, 24 X-jumbo frets, and a 14”-16” compound fretboard radius, the SC-6 is equally suited for extended low-end articulation and expressive high-register soloing. Sculpted body contours, refined hardware accents, and Guitar Center-exclusive finishes make the SC-6 as visually striking as it is sonically versatile.
“The SC-6 marks a major step in bringing extended-range basses into the spotlight for a wider audience,” said Gabe Dalporto, CEO of Guitar Center. “By partnering with Schecter, we’re able to deliver a bass with boutique-level features at an affordable price, giving passionate players and aspiring performers access to the tools they need to push their music further.”
With its extended 6-string range, ergonomic design, and precision components, the SC-6 is positioned as the go-to choice for bassists ready to expand their creative vocabulary without breaking the bank. Available now, only at Guitar Center.
