FS: Schecter Stiletto Elite-5

StuartV · #1 08-14-2010, 04:05 PM

I bought this because it's the twin of my very first 4-string. Now I've moved on to some other 5-strings that were a lot more expensive, and this one is getting zero play time. It has new strings and has just been setup by Uncle Rob at RPJ Guitar Works. It plays great and sounds great. It comes with the Schecter hard shell case.

Neck through body construction. EMG pickups. 2-band active EQ. What more could you ask for?

Buy a new one one at GC for $800 with no hard shell case. Or buy this one that is in just like new condition, with the hard shell case, for $425, shipped in CONUS.

I know it is 'the other bass' I've been looking for! How old is it? I've been wanted to get serious about getting more into 5 strings. I've over 40 years of playing 4 string basses. I've read great things about this model.

I'm not sure what year it is. It still looks brand new, but I bought it used, a few months ago. The serial number is 0219456, if that helps.

What's the string spacing at the bridge? This is a HOT looking bass.

holy crap...I bought the Stilletto 5 string fretless a few months back, and I love the neck/feel so much I've been thinking about getting a fretted as well...can someone loan me $425???

intheory · #7 09-16-2010, 09:53 AM

great deal, by the way.

These have a little tighter spacing. It's much more comfortable to me. I have the same one in Honey burst. If I had the scratch, I'd pick this up. I'd love to have 2 of them.
BUMP!

Measuring from center to center of the outside 2 strings, I get 66mm. Divided by 4, I get 16.5 mm spacing.

Since so many of you have asked, I can now report that this bass weighs 9.2 pounds on my digital bathroom scale.

How flexible are you on the CONUS thing?

StuartV · #12 10-12-2010, 03:27 PM

I'll ship it anywhere if you pay the difference on the shipping (over USD$25).

But, I'm no expert on shipping out of the country and I don't want to take on any responsibility for any problems related to that. I'll ship it however you want and get whatever insurance you want. And, if it comes to it, I'll file a claim and get your money back. But, if it arrives and you have to pay taxes or tariffs, it's on you. If it gets lost or damaged and the insurance doesn't pay, it's on you. Etc..

And I would want to ensure that payment is complete and secure on my end before shipping. I've heard too many stories of things like counterfeit money orders or cashier's checks that seem to clear the bank and then, 2 or 3 weeks later come back because it turns out the guaranteeing bank was fake, and the money gets taken back out of the seller's account.

Did I throw enough caveats and disclaimers in there?

Bump for an outstanding TB'er and a ruby red rockin' bass.

Noonan768 · #14 10-15-2010, 08:03 AM

Bump for a beautiful Schecter that sounds and plays beautifully...

StuartV · #15 10-15-2010, 10:47 AM

Thanks, guys. I have a guy that found it on CL coming to check it out tomorrow. No guarantee he'll buy it, but if any of youse guys (or gals) want it, now would be a good time to step up.

Noonan768 · #16 10-15-2010, 12:13 PM

Oh, I want it alright... I just can't afford it right now... But i do love my honey burst version.. I'll be strapping it on tonight and tomorrow.

hrodbert696 · #17 10-15-2010, 01:48 PM

grrr I've bookmarked this thread for when my textbooks sell... nailbiting bump I guess.

StuartV · #18 10-22-2010, 11:28 AM

Yesterday was my birthday. Tonight is my first ever gig on bass.

Somebody buy this bass and make this my best week ever!

bump you guys literally arent going to find a better bass for $425, i have owned my burnt honey elite 5 for 5 or 6 years now its a bass i always go back to. ive played anything from gospel to jazz to rock with this thing!!! and i have never had to use a pedal of any sort to get the sound that i needed to play those gigs, i promise you this thing is that user friendly.
