Schecter Owners Club, part 3

[The Petro]

Funny. My other bass, that’s sitting in its case out in the garage, is an Ibby. It’s an SG(can’t remember the number) that I bought off some dude for $70. Actually a great bass too.
Seems like the clankiness is kind of a good sound if you’re playing metal, right? I get that it might not be what you want when playing outside of a band context though. I’m not in a band at least not yet and with all the different genres I like to dabble in maybe I need to avoid the clank.
You a fingers or pick player?
Maybe I do need some distortion…I’ve got a green Russian pi fuzz that is in my guitar pedal board. Might be pretty kick ass with bass. Also have a Spark amp which I guess has a ton of options for bass. Haven’t explored that yet. Been really stuck in playing guitar for a long while now. Excited to get back into bass.

I play fingers. I am not coordinated enough to use a pick lol. As of late, i have tried to practice picking here and there. I do like the sound of it distorted.
Trying to find a sound i like is tough. It changes with the weather. I had it on my pedal, but i changed it when i switched basses. I cannot seem to find it now. I currently have a clean sound that i like.
Unfortunately i am too busy for the next couple months to really experiment.

On a different note, i really like the Motown sound.

Yeah I like fingers for the way it puts you in touch with the instrument. I like the attack of the pick though. I know it’s an age old debate haha.
Cool chatting with you man. Hope you’re busy for the next few months because you’ll be making loads of cash, meeting exotic women, and touring the world. Cheers.

Well, I am now the owner of this gorgeous Schecter SLS Elite Evil Twin 4. Looks, feels and sounds amazing! I am glad I listened to all of you about the quality of Schecter basses. Posting some of my pictures as well as some that Sweetwater sent me since they are done professionally vs. my phone pictures.

Guitarcenter near me has this in stock. The schecter website still has the old model showing. I'm assuming they just put his graphics on a J but man's that is sexy

They finally updated it to this one.

 

[bassist4dalord]

I've got some GAS pains for this thing. Again.

Dude. That thing is gorgeous.

 

[bassist4dalord]

Now I’ve got my eye on this beauty. Fully passive but with a cornucopia of sounds.

I played my Raiden Special-4 in church today. Passive. Ran it in humbucker mode. It’s still got an old set of D’Addario ProSteels 45-100 tuned in D Standard. I need to get some new strings on it but every time I play it I remember how great it feels and sounds.

Hey the schecter i ordered has fishman and curious how you liking them so far?

I am a bedroom player, so my input is of very limited value. Personally I find them very pleasing to my ears. I play both pickups on on classic setting and EQ all flat majority of the time. The one time I joined a few friends in a studio rehearsal space and I played through an Ampeg SVT with 8x10 cab, I had to roll the bass knob down quit a bit.

 

[JRT64]

This is my Schecter DV-4 w/ DiMarzio pickup and passive controls.

I bought a C4 silver mountain back in June, it has Fishmans as well. A lot of tones available, I think you will be pleased.

 

[Kromelio]

Finally got my Apocalypse C4 today. Such a beautiful instrument! Cant wait to get better acquainted with it

 

[John Stephen]

That is a beauty. Give us a review after you've had some time with it.

 

[bassist4dalord]

I told Mrs. Bassist4dalord that this will be my next bass. Now I'm in a holding pattern awaiting funding indefinitely.

 

[matty1039]

Nice choice. Hopefully you won’t be in the holding pattern long.
