My new schecter C5

Picked this up yesterday from a fellow TB'er.

What i was finding was my yamaha with the 40DC's just didn't have the right sound to play with the classic rock band, and I couldn't get used to going back and forth between that and my t40. (I have to use my yamaha for church, the flats on the t40 don't sound right in that group)

I was worried that the 40HZ pickups would sound cheap next to the yamaha I'm used to, but they sound nice. They are a more polite sound, clear and controlled, not like raw testosterone like the 40DC's. I think I can use it for both the church band and the classic rock band.

It's going to take a while to get used to the string spacing on my right hand, going from 19 to 16MM is a huge adjustment.

Nice looking bass, isn't it? I've admired the way these look since I saw my first one hanging on a guitar center wall years ago.

 

Thanks. I have a set of EMG p/j pickups on the way, and i'm going to put on a set of half round strings.

 

replaced the HZ's with an active EMG P/J set tonight. Made an amazing difference in the sound.

It went from a bass that looks like a million bucks to one that has the sound to match
