Schecter Owners Club, part 3

schecters.jpg



I've already posted my bass in here years ago but I thought this was a pretty cool pic that was taken more recently, my Hellraiser Extreme 5 next to my guitarists KM7 7 string.
 
Thinning the herd,has got me down,to two bass guitars. I sold my sunburst Model T,to a fellow TBer. He was pleased with the deal I gave him. Glad I could,help him fulfil his mission. Still going to hang on to my DeLeo Signature Model T. I am trying to hang on to my,Music Man USA SUB. I am going to get a tortoise pickguard,for the white Model T. Keep On Trucking!
 
I've played the new Diamond JV in 20 something shows so far. It's a very nice instrument and sound perfect for the current show I'm doing. "American Idiot".

The good;

They did a great job with the construction and finish of this bass. Everything looks fantastic. Everything works the way it should, electronics, truss rod ect.. Neck profile is very comfortable. Overall I'm very happy with the instrument especially considering the price.

The less than desirable...lol

I need to level the frets. The fingerboard is level, it doesn't look like they did much work to the frets post installation. It's not bad, I've played a ton of gigs with it and been fine. I just like my basses to be in the best shape possible. No complaints cause I usually end up doing this with all my instruments Fodera's included!

I am going to install some Bartolini humbuckers in the bass as well. Again a personal preference of mine the Duncan's really sound great. Keeping the pre amp I really like how it's configured and it sounds really great. NO NOISE..lol

Overall I would recomend this instrument for any type of music. If you play rock you would particularly dig the electronics, I do anyway.

I can't wait to get it.
 
Not anything happening,on the Club? Got an extra Schecter hardshell bass case,if anyone interested. It is the universal one, I got it for my Model T. After some trading,and selling ended up with an extra one. Have it for sale,in the Accessories Classified.

Take Care! Keep On Trucking!
