Schecter or Warwick...HELP ME DECIDE!

I already mentioned the Rockbass thing and the seller is saying it's a Warwick. C'mon guys, it's not that long of a post to READ.
one way you can tell is that the rockbass has 4 volume knobs while the vette has 3 knobs with the volume knob pulling out.

Also look there and you see the writing is vertical, as is the seller's pic, but the rockbass is horizontal. Thanks for looking into that though.

It's not too long and I have already read it, but if the seller was a moron himself and was thinking it is a Warwick, nothing short of a pic of the back of a headstock would convince me. Rockbass's new models now come w/ the Warwick branding and hardware.
To the OP: Assuming it is indeed a Warwick, at this price it's a no brainer. The only negative thing IMO about this is if you can not remove the "artwork". Not everyone likes the Warwick tone, so what if you decide to sell it in the future?

I'm assuming it's legit then?

I would go for the Schecter. Those Stiletto Studios are awesome, and they are neck-through, unlike that particular Warwick.
Go with the Warwick. If it is just pencil and the artwork comes off you'd have no problem offloading it if it turns out you don't like it. Actually, you'd probably stand to make a profit on the deal if you were to clean it up and sell it.
Neck through is just personal taste, it dosn't make it better. I think neck through instruments have a lot of sustain, and clank. Just from my personal experience. Bolt on gives you a little natural compression, which is also great for slap and things like that. It's totally subjective of course.
Between the two, one is German Made, and one is Korean Made right?

I love mine, but if I have a chance to snatch a "Made in Germany" Warwick for $375!! Then it's a no brainer to get the Warwick, IMHO of course.
If it's an '07, then with that bridge there is no way it's a Rockbass.
In other words, it's legit and definitely made in Germany.
