Schecter Owners Club, part 3

Mine started out like that shape!
Are those tapped PU’s? Mine are. My P PU is getting fixed/rewound by Tom Brantley right now.

Yeah, I think mine are tapped, they have the push/pull volume knobs,
and they make a significant difference in PU output.
It's got aluminum (?) side dots, but a couple are drilled just slightly off the fret centers.
And I think it may have been red originally, but then changed to black at the factory, since it looks like the original finish, but I see hints of red in the PU cavities.
It's a pretty cool bass overall, even in all it's quirkiness, I just haven't been able to find out much about :)

I wired mine stereo. With the tapped pu's on switches acting as volumes.

I've been gassing pretty bad for a PJ lately. After a few days of online shopping and looking for deals I decided to pick up old faithful. I ran a little green pad along the neck, checked the tuning as I haven't touched it in a couple months to find it was still spot on and plugged her in. No more GAS. I have had her for so long sometimes I forget what a beautiful monster it is. And I forget sometimes what I've done to modify it along the way. This bass will always be my Black N° 1
 
So I know this isn't gonna result in biased opinions at all.... but...

Schecter P4 or an American Fender P? Who has experience with both? I play everything BUT I only need this to be a a P bass. I have multiple basses and a utility knife isn't necessary.
 
@promdates, hey another LA TalkBasser! As good as they can be with things being shut down. We are playing outdoors over in Hammond at The Hitch March 13. Been playing a few low key “acoustic” sets around.

We played at The Hitch two weeks ago when it was pretty chilly. My Schecter Extreme Stiletto, as always, preformed like a champ.

How are things over in the dell?
