I am interested in a Rick, as I play a lot of rock, hard rock, but I do slap at times too. Not sure how a 4001 would do with that, but my Stealth is a nice balance. Do Ricks get a good slap tone? If so might be my next bass.Same with my Custom 4, was the first bass I bought.
There is a 'schecter owners club' forum here...There is supposed to be some kind of “club” here, not sure who is “flying the plane” at the moment, as some of these threads seem really old. Any current info, please inform me. Loving my 6’ers at the moment, will get pictures up soon.
Ahhhh I can see it, love me basses with different bodies!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).

Having it for a while now getting that worn look, considering trying to get some of the tough coating off so it will wear quicker. With the poly coat it is going relatively slowly hahahah.Has a killer look too!

I have 2 Schecter Custom Shop basses from their Masterworks team handmade in Sun Valley, California. I would highly encourage anyone who can afford a USA Schecter to go that route. The quality and tone is extraordinary.
My first Model-T
Swamp Ash/Maple
and the second Model-T which is semi-hollow
Mahogany/Ebony
Very nice! Using their form, I’ve done theoretical custom builds of some 34 scale 6-string Stilettos and Riots. Not in my range though
All the custom ones look really well made though
I fell in love with this girl and she is part of my working PACKI 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.
What the heck is that white thing with the wide neck? Looks cool. Oh yeah and yeah Stilettos!I fell in love with this girl and she is part of my working PACK
