    Worst thing that's ever happened at one of your gigs?

    Yeah buzz, I shared that one during our next practice. Everybody got a good laugh out of it.

    Worst thing that's ever happened at one of your gigs?

    We just finished a show back in college. We actually played a pretty decent show, sounded good, mistake free, good crowd interaction, it was about as perfect as you could imagine. But wait, there's more! We decided to hang out after, like any self respecting 21 year old would. We had a...

    The official Schecter Bass club!

    I've heard about quite a few people not liking HZ's (they seem fine to me--granted I know jack about pickups) MF should keep that deal for a while. They still had 004's for a while, the price stayed on the floor til they got rid of them. I wouldn't ho hum around if you want one, but I'd say...

    The official Schecter Bass club!

    That's true, a lot of them are also neckthru as opposed to the DV's set neck. I was wrong about the pup too, sameish pup, just a single though. hmm

    The official Schecter Bass club!

    The MSRP is right about on par with other higher end Diamond Series models if I remember correctly. Couldn't even begin to guess why they aren't selling. They use an EMG MM pup instead of the HZ's most others carry. That wouldn't make that much of a difference, would it? You got me curious too.

    I can't get into the DV series, I dunno, I just don't like how they look. I did like the 09 limited DV's though. You did get it as a steal, they just took a big price cut. I'd love to see them bring back the AB-1, I want one so bad. lol

    Starter Bass... with exp?

    I agree with these guys, those should suffice. If its something you're looking to get into, (this really depends on your budget) you might want to look at some lower end Schecters like the Omen or stiletto deluxe/extreme series. They're not much more than what you're looking at, plus all of...

    Looking for input

    That's about how I was looking at it. I think it'd be cool to have a decent one to mess around with, but realistically, I don't really see it getting heavy use. What got me intrigued was the "hey, its there if I need it" factor.

    what is your favorite bass player sterotype

    I get the failed guitarist one quite a bit and the bass players are antisocial one quite a bit. ...although I did get into bass because I wasn't allowed to take guitar lessons at the time.

    Looking for input

    Let me start off by saying I'm a 4 string guy. Lately, I've been battling some G.A.S. however. I got the urge to get a hold of a 5 string, my main candidate is a Schecter Elite. I've not had much experience with 5 strings, I own a very cheap (and equally crappy) Rogue, which I think is the...

    The official Schecter Bass club!

    This is pretty cool. I'll try to get some pics up over the weekend. I own a Hellraiser and Damien, both 4 strings. I've been toying with getting a Stiletto Elite 5 as well.

    Greetings from to Left of the Middle of Nowhere

    Hey, all Kinda sorta been playing for 10 years now, mainly as a hobby. Mostly self taught, and not as bad as I thought according to my instuctor. I started taking it very seriously in the last year, after a string of fairly bad luck, a move, much bordom, a new guitar later, and here I am...

    Hello from Indiana

    Indiana? I grew up in Kentucky, I already don't like you. (kidding) Tabs are a great start, just make sure you find some good sites, they're not exactly reliable. Get on those lessons, believe me, you'll be amazed at how fast you start picking up on things. Good luck, keep at it.
