Just Ordered a Schecter Diamond P Plus- Anybody own/tried one?

Hey how old this is i assume you have your diamond p plus and just curious how is it? Trying to save the funds to get the same one.
I have no complaints. It's everything it claims to be. Sounds great, feels great, and looks great. I haven't played anything better, or with more options that price range. I'd honestly give it 5 out of 5 for basses $800.00 or less. You can't go wrong.

oh great.....more GAS now. I tried the Schecter Stiletto Stealth a couple of weeks ago with the same pickup configuration MM and Split- really loved it and thought it was a great deal for $499. This is more Fender-ish with even better pickups, I can easily imagine I would love it.

Fingerdub has one up for sale. Nice one too. :) If I weren't already in hot water with the wife for going against my New Years resolution this year and picking up a MM Sub Ray, I'd be all over that. I had a Schecter Elite not too long ago, a very nice bass, generally, I don't think they get their due props.

There is a beautiful and pristine Schecter Diamond P Plus in Metallic Blue for sale locally for only $350. I've been eyeing it and wishing I could somehow swing it. But I already own 2 Schecter basses, and I can't justify another one quite yet... :(
 
View attachment 812611 Well, she obviously came in today. Had her shipped to my work, that way it wouldn't sit out on my porch all day. I wanted to leave early to try it out :) . So far the fit and finish seems just fine. No sharp fret ends, and everything seems to line up well. It's not heavy, only 8 1/2 to 9 pounds, and we'll balanced. It sounds great, but getting used to the pups in series and parallel, plus a push/pull for humbucker and single coil operation might take some time. It's too soon to give it a grade, but so far, thumbs up.
Just order the same one. Will be here next week.
 
Well got today and oh boy this bass is BADASS!!! Can't wait to rock the crap out of it.

Schecter seem to get looked down upon but GOT DAYUM that's a sharp looking bass!

imho, the only way someone could look down on a Schecter is from a highhorse of ignorance. I would put the quality of my Schecter basses up against any Fender short of a custom shop. They use set neck and even neck thru construction, high mass bridges, quality woods and bindings, high-end pickups and tuners, and other features that any Fender under $1500 just dreams about.
 
Hi Guys

There maybe some details or answers about my question here. Allow me to put this out again.

I have seen the Schecter Diamon P Plus online and specs are great and suits my budget as well. However, the local distributor doesn't have the guitar in stock for me to try it out.

Basically, i have to order it from US and i can't change my mind once ordered.

I want to know if anyone has tried it out or owns one. If you recommend me to buy the bass and if there are any cons about it.

I don't have any experience with it, and haven't seen one in a shop. But I have seen and heard them online, and as far as I could tell, they look absolutely awesome and sound even better. Speaking for myself, I wouldn't hesitate to buy it. One recently came available on my local craigslist, and I went round and round on how to squeeze it in, but I just had too many other priorities. It's gone now :( , but it is a bass that I would happily add to my collection.
 
I had a Schecter Hellraiser Elite 5. Great bass, neck through, ebony fretboard, EMG active pickups, EMG BTQ electronics, mahogany body with maple top. Impecable build quality and finish. All that for just 1000 dollars.
I cant help but wonder, why the hell arent Schecter basses more popular????
