Nice! Green just in time for a St. Paddy’s Day gig (if Covid weren’t around)
I own the 5 string Stiletto Studio in the more common Brown tone and enjoy it although I just really noodle on 5 string. I’m very impressed with Schecter build quality.

Enjoy your new Green Schecter!

I really like the neck on this. It feels similar to my old Ibanez. Maybe slight neck dive, i'm not sure because i have the strap kind of long atm and don't really notice until i concentrate on chromatic warm ups. I'm not sure how much it weighs, but it feels light to me.

I have heard people say they are heavy but to me, haven't weighed mine, it feels much lighter than my jazz basses. Love the green. If they would have had it when I bought mine in the trans purple, I would have probably went with the green. Although the purple is really growing on me and is unique.

"Heavy"?!?! I can't imagine too many other basses that would make one of these Schecters feel heavy in comparison.

btw, I have the 8-string version of the Stilleto Studio bass, and as I recently noted in another thread, that Schecter is the least expensive bass I own -- in some cases by an order of magnitude (!) -- and yet it is the most comfortable bass I own.

I have the same bass in purple and it weighs around 9 pounds. Seems pretty light to me. They are incredibly well built basses and mine has pretty much zero neck dive.

I am with you. Mine feels super light to me. And the neck is so dang awesome.

I might have gotten the purple if it was available at the time. I didn’t want a wood finish.
I bought mine without ever having played a Schecter before. I did about 2 moths of research beforehand and am really pleased with it.
I paid $675 after a St Paddy’s discount.
Maybe the Irish are good for something


Exits stage left quickly!

I had never played a Schecter either and have been researching for months. When I picked it up, it just felt right. I knew it was the one. I had not even looked at the Studio 4 in my research. I had researched the Session, CV4 and Model T.

I am of Irish ancestry and have been told I am good for nothing.

Oh, and I originally paid $799 for mine. After getting it home I went to look up specs on it. Looked on the Musicians Friend web page and saw they had it on sale for $599. I called the GC I bought it from and they refunded me the difference.

You said music and arts in your thread right? That’s where I went.
I picked up a Dark Glass micro tubes X Ultra with a 20% off coupon. I like that place, though they don’t have a lot of in stock items.

I bought my studio 4 at Guitar Center in Columbus, OH. Musicians Friend had it on sale. GC refunded me the difference. I do believe Music and Arts is owned by GC also.

Yes they are.
