Wicked preamp setup.
I just played an American Deluxe, this may be a worthy alternative.
Schecter has been making some great stuff over the years.

That really does look interesting! I've always like the old American made 80's Schecter stuff, this reminds me of that era.
Schecter makes great instruments. I have a Schecter guitar and it is every bit the equal of guitars costing triple the price.

Putting together a frankenSchecter from ebay parts, still waiting on parts, but the body and neck appear to be of very good quality.

I like the electronics setup on that bass with the 4 way rotating selector switch. That's a great way of doing it.
I've got a couple of projects going with piezo bridges, and was just thinking the same for the 3 way on-on-on piezo/both/pickups switch. Making it a rotating selector switch with a regular knob cleans up the face of the instrument. I have a 4 position rotary switch, even, trying to figure out whether to make that a 'mute' position, or whether I can swizzle a "pickups on wired straight to output" using the tone circuit ground lift trick (may have to add a relay).

Check out Schecter USA, the custom shop is top notch!
Oooo, and it comes in a 35" scale with string through... Sure would look great next to my elite... Damn gas, there goes my NY resolution....
I'm liking the look of the Vintage Stilettos, personally. I like a bit of modern kick and that bridge looks fantastic.
Very neat bass.
The ad copy seems weird with the variously capitalized words here and there. It makes you wonder if it was written in the USA or China.

I've owned two Schecters since '08 (one of which I will NEVER part with) and still feel that they are SERIOUSLY under-rated instruments.
The neck is insane. Not a flaw.
If the Jazz is built like this one here, they have something special on their hands for sure.
Top notch quality!

Yea like that 2015 diamond p plus, have a diamond p custom that I've been gigging and recording with and found it to be one of the best values and quality I've found in a long time!
