I havent seen a topic about this yet, just found out from facebook, i think the bass looks awesome, and i love how his basslines sound now, so Im looking forward to it.
For those of you who dont know, Johnny Christ (Avenged Sevenfold) made a schecter signature bass, and it looks like this link
Opinions?

He typically plays a Stingray, and on some songs he plays a P bass.

This stinks. A7X signature Schecter guitars are awesome. But I don't want a Schecter bass tone. I want Johnny Christ's musicman tone.

Not that I'd buy it anyways... I already have a Music Man that I love.

Fair enough, though since it is his signature bass, i cant imagine it sounding all that different or bad. Ill have to listen to it before i make my final decision, but from how it looks and who its made for, I would trust it

Maybe I'm scarred by the Schecter signature bass of the guy from Seether... never have I heard a more dull, empty, lifeless tone. In general, Schecter basses tend to be thumpier and rounder as opposed to Johnny Christ's sound.

That said, my guitarist had the Syn signature guitar and the pickups and tone were absolutely amazing... so we shall see.

My current bass is a Schecter, and i love it, so i have faith in them. If nothing else it seems like an interesting bass itself, disregarding the fact that its a signature. The guitar pickup thing is new, supposed to add growl, which i like
