The Schecter J-4 Exotic Bass in Faded Vintage Sunburst is a visually striking and technologically sophisticated instrument tailored for discerning bassists. The bass features a luscious Faded Vintage Sunburst finish that accentuates the natural beauty of its swamp ash body topped with eye-catching zebrawood. This combination not only delivers a stunning aesthetic but also contributes to the instrument’s resonant and vibrant tonal characteristics.

Constructed with a bolt-on neck design, the J-4 Exotic offers a balanced tone with excellent attack and sustain. The neck itself is crafted from roasted maple, reinforced with carbon fiber rods, ensuring durability and stability under various playing conditions. The roasted maple fretboard is fitted with 21 narrow X-jumbo frets and decorated with 3-piece block inlays, providing a smooth playing experience and a classic look. Additionally, the side dot markers feature Luminlay technology, glowing in the dark to aid visibility on darker stages.

The neck is shaped into a thin "C" profile, suitable for various playing styles, and measures 34 inches in scale. It boasts a 16-inch radius that facilitates comfortable playability and easy access across the fretboard. Tuning stability is guaranteed with WSC KG400 tuners and a Graph Tech XL Black Tusq nut, complemented by a two-way adjustable truss rod with heel access spoke wheel for easy adjustments.

Sonically, the J-4 Exotic is equipped with a pair of EMG Metal Works pickups; an LJ at the bridge and an SJ at the neck. These pickups provide a broad range of dynamic and tonal options, suitable for everything from deep, growling lows to punchy, articulate highs. The active electronics system includes a master volume, blend control, and a 2-band EMG active EQ, allowing for precise tonal shaping. A convenient 9-volt clip-in battery compartment ensures easy battery changes without the need for additional tools.

The hardware is finished in black, which contrasts beautifully with the sunburst finish and includes a Schecter high mass bass bridge that can be strung through the body or from the top, offering flexible string setup options. The bass comes equipped with Ernie Ball 4 String Super Long strings, known for their durability and rich tone.

Overall, the Schecter J-4 Exotic Bass in Faded Vintage Sunburst is a superb choice for bass players looking for a high-performance instrument that combines modern functionality with a vintage aesthetic, making it both a performer's delight and a collector's piece.
