Any Schecter owners out there?

Love the Signature Johnny Christ Model, bought it back in 2013 when I was alot younger for my first bass.
But it is actually great, best neck i've ever felt and the contours feel the best on any bass I own.
The guitar neck pickup makes it sound unique to, it's a shame that I personally prefer single coils and don't like the MM pickup

Schecter Stiletto Studios have replaced my Spector Euros. They are just more comfortable to me at 1/3 the price and sound great.

It’s funny. Seems like I picked up a “holy grail” (cost to sound quality ratio) rig. My Schecter paired with Kustom kxb500 amp and RevSound RS210T cab. I use a Zoom b3n pedal, which actually gives me some pretty awesome tone shaping options. My whole rig is probably right around $1400 and more than serves all my needs and I’m liking the tones I get.

Great looking bass, based on the Stargazer body.

Here's what I did when I wanted a single coil sound out of a HH bass (Yamaha Motion).

Lindy Fralin SCPB to the rescue. :ninja:

Well technically it is a Stiletto Stealth as mine is a Stiletto Studio. My son has a Stiletto Stage. Since all EMG soapbars are technically humbuckers, yes they are humbuckers. My plan is to put some Nordstrand big singles in it at some point. I'm glad you like it. Welcome to the community of the most underrated basses on the planet.

Most under rated. I like that. In most things I love finding diamonds in the rough. Think I hit that with Schecter. Now to see if there is a way to get a sponsorship....

Love the Stiletto and Riot models! Here some clips of a few Of my Stilettos. I just wish they made 34 scale 5 & 6 strings :(

That was badass! Great tone too. It’s funny, my first lead guitarist/singer was an EXCELLENT Cash impersonator and he could play on guitar really advanced versions of that. I never learned that style of playing and was never able to keep up with him, but what you did there was awesome man.

Thanks, once I realized it was loopable, I just had to arrange the other parts for bass!

The stargazer bass and 004 bass are on my radar. My girlfriend's brother has a 004 and I really like the feel and shape of it but for sure would do a pickup upgrade. It sounded lifeless but was comfortable and a very futuRi(c)stic look. Would have been a cool one to have made a high end model of with nice abalone or MOP block inlays with rosewood fretboard and a nice flame top with a trans finish that popped. Like a blue or blue/green burst.

I never thought I’d like Schecter as they aren’t “known” for basses, but there was a diamond series stiletto at guitar center. Active, long scale, with P style neck pickups and m style bridge pickups. I was playing it, trying out other basses (some twice the price) and kept going back to it. The tone, the smoothness, feel of neck (matte finish gives it a smooth slide). Just everything. I walked out of there with it. Really think it’s a sick bass.

that’s exactly how I ended up with one.
