 FS/FT: Very Nice Schecter Model T! P/J Precision bass
Sign in to disble this ad
I was really excited to get this bass, because I had a very similar one a few years back, however, it's just not the same for me. I prefer the look, body shape, and sound of a Jazz bass over a precision now.
When I received the bass, the pots were super scratchy and nearly unplayable. I took the bass to my tech, and he cleaned the pots, put a brand spankin new set of Dunlop Nickel Strings (.45-105) and set up the neck/action and intonated the bass. The bass now plays and sounds like a dream. It features Seymour Duncan pickups, yes, real Duncans. The latter series had these rather than the EMGs that the bass featured when they first came out.
The bass is in great shape. It has a mark on it on the top where your arm would go. It's not a dent or ding really, but more like a black line in the finish. Doesn't affect anything really and it's hard to notice. Other than that, it's in great shape!
I was told this bass along with the Diamond J are now being made in China. This bass is South Korean. I have a Diamond J that is South Korean as well and have played a Diamond J that was made in China and these are way better IMHO.
Here's a close up body shot. I will try and get some better pics in the next day or two when I get my digital camera back.
This bass sells (http://www.earthshakingmusic.com/MODELT-BTS.html) for $649.00 when you can find them.

As far as trades go, I'd be interested in the following:
Jazz basses (preferably MIK, MIJ, CIJ, MIA stuff)
5 string basses
And of course I will add money if needed.
