Volume, pickup blend, treble, mids, bass, and a "slap switch" that boosts the EQ for slap bass.
I ended up solving this problem by resoldering one of the connections to the treble pot, but the treble control is still very subtle; adjusting it over the full range has much less impact than the bass control. Does anyone else with the Fluence system have that experience?
Even though I have never seen a Schecter Riot in person, I have always liked how they look in pictures. Sort of like a BTB with a really cool finish and EMG's. Very nice.
Funny you mention that . I first purchased a Neck thru Ibanez BTB from the store but it ended up having to many electrical issues and there was a Schecter sitting next to it . I tried it out and was impressed with the sound so opted for that instead .
I love the look of the Riot basses. I especially like the purple. I played a purple 4-string riot in GC last year, and I would have bought it if the bridge and upper strap button had been in different places. Enjoy!
I am having an issue with the pickup wiring on a recent Stage 4 Purchase. Thread is over on the pickups forum. Anybody have any input here ? Thanks!
Just picked up a 4 string GT. I've always played 5 string basses for the last 27ish years but haven't been playing much for about the last 10. I'm getting back into it now and for some reason really wanted to try a 4 string with my main requirement being neck-through or set-neck with active pups. The Schecter fit the bill perfectly and is great to play. The only issue is the stupid looking blue pups, so I 3d printed some covers and all is well now.
Beautiful bass. Since I'm completely ignorant about 3D printing, I'm wondering what substance did you print the pickup covers onto? Not paper, obviously. Some kind of plasti-goop?
They are printed with PLA plastic filament directly onto the steel sheet heatbed of the printer. The attached file is the 3D model I made to print them from. If anyone wants to print their own just remove the .txt from the end of the filename and load it in your slicer program. I used .1mm layer height.
This arrived from Japan today. Very nice! I am totally into the stuff made in Korea from a few years back, like 004’s etc. Will be thinning out my heard of recent stuff from Schecter about mid to late October, still deciding what stays and what goes.
Still surprised that there aren't many folks here that has a Schecter's P5. it fantastic and the B string is other worldly....

The P5 is really a great bass. I just can't say enough good things about it. Aa opposed to my Lakland LOG P5, it's more modern sounding and the neck it a little thinner, plus it looks killer!
