Can you explain why? I've been watching videos lately of metal covers because I wanted to see how the Schecters sound. It seems true. I like the sound of the 'metal' basses and it also seems good with worship songs without the effects at least. I'm almost convinced to get a Schecter, does...

Thanks! I have only played a friend's Peavey once way long ago so I couldn't really tell now if I actually liked it or not. lol

Hello! This is my first post. Getting right at the point, I'm due for an upgrade from an Ibanez GSR-200 bass and while I don't have the money to pick up one from the 500+ range, I'm thinking of buying a 5-string bass as an upgrade. I was pretty much convinced that I would be buying a Peavey...
