Schecter Basses?

[tastybasslines]

Only positive things to say about Schecters too. I'd still have my Diamond P Custom if the neck had been bigger.

Hope it's not too late but: I have a diamond p 4 string that I've come close to selling but every time I play it again and remember why i love it so much! Solidly built, great tone (for rock) and lots of tonal options!

I have a 2002 Model T Robert DeLeo sig that I bought new. Won't part with it and I never see ones this old on Ebay. I also have a 2011 Diamond P 4 Custom. Fantastic P bass copy. It out-Pbasses a P bass! I have no experience with any of the other models. Mine have been perfect out of the box and continue to be. Nary a problem.

I have a 2001 Model T DeLeo also. Had it set up and put on some Daddario flats. Sounds and plays nice. Bought it new.

So, did you seize the Schecter?

I like my schecter. Plays good sounds good. Saying that I will not own another sense you cannot buy any parts from them.

About the only thing I'd suggest doing with a Schecter (after buying it), is change the strings to whatever you like. They come stock with Slinkys, and to me (just an opinion) they're about as delightful as nails on a chalkboard.

Seriously though. I really recommend them.

Schecter make quality instruments. Bass-wise, the Diamond-J jazz bass is awesome as is the Model T already mentioned.

here is my Schecter Stilletto Extreme. Active (2 band) Jazz style neck (1.5 nut) a joy to play. Got it online great setup when i got it.

Well, I did it! The music store owner had a very limited inventory, wouldn't order the model I wanted (Studio 5) even though I was going to add cash to make up the difference. Long story short I took a hosing on the deal, but I did take home a Schecter Custom 5 he had on the wall. Played it all weekend, and boy it grew on me! Superb neck, very comfortable to play, nice articulate B string with the. 35" scale. Only thing, the factory strings have to go, probably replace w/ compression wounds to mellow the tone. I gotta say, I'm impressed with this guitar and I'm a happy Schecter owner! Thanks to all for your guidance and opinions.

I owned an original Schecter 4 fretless bolt on neck bass for many years and after some modifications, it turned out to be a fine instrument although it was very heavy. Schecter basses back then were made in America.

I played one of the new Stiletto Session 5's the other day and fell in love with it. Gotta start saving back to get me one.

Congrats on the new bass CarpeBasso!!

I have a C-4, it really is a great bass. I've found every Schecters that I've ever played to be far nicer than their price would suggest.

Congrats on the bass, I have a diamond series and love it. Real quality instrument. Going by what you wrote, I would never deal with that music store again. Hosing is not a good way to build a customer base. And not ordering what you want would be the nail in the coffin for me. I have a friend who has a music store that deals with Shechter and from what I've seen, they're very easy to deal with. With the deals you can get online, a brick and mortar store needs to have outstanding customer service. Sounds like this guy doesn't know the meaning of it.

schecter makes awesome bass guitars. The stilleto basses are phenomenal sounding bass guitars and they cost under $1000. If 6-string basses is your thing, check out the stilleto custom or the stilleto studio.

that's a nice looking bass you got there. I own that bass too and a 5-string version of that bass in the same color. I really love that black cherry finish. It's such a nice color. Not to mention how awesome it looks and sounds. These basses are real keepers for me. Schecter makes awesome bass guitars.

Thank you very much for the comments! The Stilletto is the 1st Schecter bass I have purchased...I am amazed on how good it does play and sound for the money.... (Got it on sale with free shipping)
