FS: Schecter California Custom 5-string bass + HSC

Sign in to disble this ad
Up for sale is a fairly rare Schecter California Custom 5-string Bass. These were only made for a few years before the Diamond Series stuff became more mainstream, and had a street price of over $1000 new (for good reason!)

EMG pickups, 35" scale, and all Hipshot hardware including bridge, tuners, and knobs. Active 2-band EQ, maple neck/rosewood board, alder body with black cherry burst quilt maple top. String spacing at the bridge is 18mm.

This is a really, truly high-quality bass. It plays very smoothly with a low action and is very versatile, with a huge amount of tones available. Incredibly comfortable neck too, and the low B is extremely clear and solid-sounding.

There is a small ding on the side of the headstock by the D string tuner, a small (nearly unnoticeable) scratch on the upper horn by the straplock, and a little scratch on the back in the tummy carve (couldn't get any of them to show up on the camera, and you really have to look to see them.)

I'm selling because I bought a Rickenbacker 4003, and I just don't play this Schecter anymore. If you're interested, jump on it because this is likely to be the last one you'll see in a while. I love Schecter basses, but this one seriously kills any modern Diamond Series unit I've tried.

Comes with a Roadrunner hardshell case.

Looking to get $450+shipping/insurance.
