\"Schecter<\/p>\n

Schecter\u2019s Stargazer-4 is a quirky take on basses of years past. The old school-inspired 4-stringer is built for versatility with EMG\u2019s MMHZ humbucking pickup in the bridge position and the EMG SJHZ single-coil pickup in the neck position. For further tonal adjustments, the bass has an EMG active 2-band EQ in addition to a pickup blend knob.<\/p>\n

The Stargazer-4 features an ash body, a maple neck, and a rosewood fingerboard with pearl block inlays. Available in Black and White, the bass has added visual appeal with binding opposite of the rest of the body\u2019s color.<\/p>\n

Schecter included their custom String Thru bridge, which allows for stringing through the bridge as well as the body or any combination therein. \u201cThru body stringing increases string tension and clarity, which is popular with player\u2019s tuning below standard \u2018A\u2019 440,\u201d the company explains.
