Any Schecter owners out there?

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.
 
I don't know why it took me so long to own a Schecter. I had tried a few and always loved their 5ers' skinny fast necks and impeccable craft. Considered a Model T Session 5 for some time (impossible to get used and very expensive to get new 'round here) and 13 months ago I finally pulled the trigger on a CV-5 that ended my 20 year quest for the perfect "Fender killer" 5er (I'm a Stingray5 guy and been trading basses forever around that idea). The CV-5 blows anything I've had before (Fender Am Dlx P5, Maruszczyk Jake 5a+, many Yammie BBs and some 2 pickup Ibby ATKs, amongst others) out of the water. Also doesn't feel, play or sound a cent cheaper than my USA Stingray5s. Schecter is probably the first thing I'm considering next time I'm shopping for a bass.

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. :bassist:

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
 
Just played my Stiletto Elite 5 tonight, which I had swapped in Bart pups and the 3 band Bart preamp. Really like how this bass sounds, the mods really improved the sound. It would be one I'll keep just based on the sound alone, it's a bonus that it plays and looks great too.

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.
I fell in love with this girl and she is part of my working PACK
