I'm currently looking into buying a new bass. Right now I have two options I'm basically trying to choose from, the are: Schecter Stiletto Studio-4 http://www.guitarcenter.com/Schecter-Stiletto-Studio-4-Bass-516752-i1166406.gc and Cort A-4 http://www.cort.co.kr/english/products/common/view.asp?product_id=78 What are your thoughts on either? If you do have any other suggestions, go right ahead and suggest.... I really would like a neck thru though
Pay close attention to the string spacing on the Schecter before laying down cash for it. I thought my Studio 5 would be the best bass for me to learn on, and within a few months of owning it I found that I do like a little bit of pop/slap and that my 5'er is too tight for my preference all around.. Maybe the Studio 4 has better string spacing, I don't know.. But looking at the pics of it I'm guessing it's a little tight as well.. just my .02
Personally, I'd rather have the Cort. I've never been a fan of glossy finished necks, which is one thing that turns me off about Schecters. Plus, the Cort has the 3-band Bartolini MK-1 preamp and pickups. The preamp isn't that great but I like the pickups fine. The Schecter only has a 2-band pre.
This last weekend I picked up the schecter stilletto at guitar center and maybe the battery was dead And it was set up poorly by gc. But It sounded terrable and the low b string felt floppy. Even though I have no experience with the cort I would recomend that one
alright, thanks a bunch for all of your input. question: i dont quite understand the difference between active and passive. can somebody explain it to me?
Active basses use "active' electronically powered pickups from a 9v in the back) that auto pre-amp your sound cutting out hum and other crap. Passives just use magnetics
ok, so would a fender deluxe active bass be a good option as well? and does anybody know if the fender 24 v is a mexican?
