The ultimate bass for The Cure and Simon Gallup fans! The Schecter Simon Gallup Signature Ultra Spitfire bass is as idiosyncratic as the the man himself, featuring a distinctive offset body shape and a stylish lion/rose graphic.

Timeless Construction

The Schecter Simon Gallup signature model is formed from a classic combination of tonewoods. With a Mahogany body, you can expect deep and rich-sounding lows that guarantee an authoritative sound onstage. Paired with a Mahogany/Walnut multi-ply neck, this combination of woods ensures excellent stability and strength to keep your tuning rock-solid.

Playability is certainly one of the Ultra Spitfire's strengths too. Boasting a thin 'C' neck profile and an ultra-access heel joint, this bass offers a fast feel and easy upper-fret access respectively.

EMG Pickups

High-quality EMG pickups give the Ultra Spitfire its powerful and versatile sound. With a pair of passive TBHZ humbuckers, these punchy pickups are able to cover the broad palette of tones that Simon Gallup uses in The Cure's back catalogue.

Stuff About Bass Guitars

Bass guitars form the backbone of a band’s sound, sitting between rhythm and harmony to give music depth, weight, and movement. Available in electric and acoustic forms, they focus on delivering strong, controlled low frequencies while remaining clear and responsive to playing dynamics. Factors like scale length, string type, and pickup design all influence tone and feel, allowing bass guitars to suit a wide range of styles and techniques. Whether laying down solid grooves or exploring more melodic lines, a good bass guitar anchors the music and brings everything together.

Stuff About Electric Bass Guitars

Electric bass guitars provide the low-end foundation that supports rhythm, harmony, and groove within a band. Designed for clarity, punch, and control, they translate string vibration into a focused, amplified signal that locks in with drums and drives the music forward. Different scale lengths, pickup configurations, and electronics influence feel and tone, from deep, rounded lows to tight, articulate attack. Whether used for simple supportive lines or more expressive playing, electric bass guitars are essential for shaping the feel and energy of a track.
