    Schecter as my third bass?

    I’ve owned three Schecter basses. I still own two. I sold my Stiletto and bought two Banshees b/c I moved to short scale basses. I love the sound, feel, look, balance and comfort of my Schecter basses. The Evil Twin is sexy as it gets. If they ever make a short scale version, I’d buy it. Jump...

    Disappointed with SBMM Short-Scale StingRay

    I have an SBMM short scale bass. I liked the neck profile, weight, and balance. I hated those pots and pickups. I ripped them out and put in EMGs. I had to rout a battery compartment and enlarge the controls cavity. Well worth the time and effort. Now it sounds amazing. I’m glad I made the...

    NBD - Ural 510

    Well, if it’s over-engineered and built like other Soviet gear, I suppose it could be useful as a weapon during the next zombie apocalypse. May the odds be ever in your favor.

    Best PJ for the money

    I vote for the Charvel Pro-Mod San Dimas Bass PJ IV. It's insanely comfortable play, well-balanced, sounds amazing, and looks terrific. It's a Fender with tons of attitude. Add a dab of carbonara wax to the back of the neck and it feels like silk. Bang + Buck = BOOM!!! I loved the look...

    Offbeat Guitars 30% off sale on their website

    I love the wood grain patterns on many of those basses. IMHO, the problem is price. I can buy terrific Fender, Schecter, Charvel, and a few others for less. I suspect reselling an Offbeat bass would be slow and costly. Breaking into the musical instruments business is rough. There are so...

    What's your favourite Short scale bass(30 inch scale)?

    I have two Schecter Banshees (30”) and one SBMM Stingray short-scale bass (30”). I removed the frets from one of the Banshees and put on flats. Most excellent. On the other Banshee, I replaced the stock picks (which sounded fine) and installed a DiMarzio Relentless Middle. I really like the...

    Who has the largest bass collection here?

    Some of you guys have more basses and more variety of basses than my local Guitar Center. At which number should we call your friends and family and host an intervention?! ;)

    Ever had two almost identical basses, one being fret less and the other fretted?

    After I decided to sell all my long scale basses and move to short scale, I bought two Schecter Banshee short scale basses. I paid a local luthier to defret one of them. I agree… it’s easier for me to move back and forth between fretted and fretless when the basses and the same scale and the...
