I got a new Stiletto studio 5 yesterday. I´m trying to find how to get the action lower without terrible amount buzz as it is way too high for my taste but i haven´t got it yet. Haven´t yet touched the nut though. Not very impressed with the E-string (sounds and feels dead). But the bass looks awesome 
After having it for two days i still consider my Ibanez SR505 as my main basss. These two basses sound very different and my ears need to adjust to the Schecter sound.

No, I decided that a new amp would be more useful so that is what I went with.
squier vi and pawn shop vi weren't out when i bought the hellcat in 2009. stores didn't stock a lot of short scale 6s so i didn't have much to compare. japanese fender bass vi reissues were hard to find and expensive and again not in stores. now that i've tried them, the squier VI and fender VI string spacing is a little tighter than the hellcat's.
recently i found out about the music man silhouette bass. the nut and string spacing is even wider than the hellcat. not shergold marathon 6 wide, but a little bit better. i bought the silhouette and like it better than the hellcat so i'm trying to sell the hellcat now.
it's a quality, well built bass. versatile, comfortable. i like the brass nut and string through features. the neck width is like a jazz but thickness is like a pbass. it also has 24 frets which is nice. i just don't use it much because i've got so many other basses. i've played it only a couple hours since i bought it new in 09.
i prefer something in between the guitar like 6 string spacing and the aircraft carrier sixes. with the narrow high b and e i don't need the width of a BEADGB style 6. i also want the short scale sound. i'm not playing chords when i play 6 anyway.
You still can,need to sell,to make room,and scale down? Bought it on a whim,trying to get back down to just two players.
Ha! The Omen Extreme is a great bass, but I bought 2 Blackjack ATX's that I much prefer instead (a C-4 and a C-5). *And* I already had to sell the C-4 to fund my Fender VI purchase. So no, I am definitely not in the market. But GLWTS! Me? I can't imagine having only 2 (and I couldn't fit my AEB in this pic!).

Can I join - I just got this from Music go round and I love it.
This is the store pic - will get better ones up soon. Still had the plastic on the guard, missing a knob and a small gouge in the back - but only 249 bucks.
