Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Riot-5 Inferno Burst brings the five-string version of Schecter’s design in a satin red burst finish. It has a swamp ash body capped with poplar burl, plus a carbon-fiber-reinforced maple/walnut bolt-on neck and 35-inch ebony fingerboard. The 24 narrow-jumbo frets, EMG 40PCSX neck pickup, EMG 40JCSX bridge pickup, and 18V B-30 3-band EQ make its controls available at the bass: master volume, pickup blend, and EQ. Hardware includes a fixed five-saddle string-through bridge, Graph Tech nut, and die-cast tuning machines.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Five-string arrangements using a 35-inch scale and the bass’s 24-fret fingerboard.
- Bassists adjusting pickup blend and three-band EQ from the instrument during a playing setup.
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Players looking for a four-string instrument.
