$225 for a Schecter USA bass? WOW!
I bought the pickups from the dealer that sold me the bass. I've bought another USA Schecter from them, so I might have gotten the returning customer discount.

It wasn't a USA Made, It was a Diamond Series. I didn't realize yours was A USA made Model T. Wow, awesome. I'd bet that wasn't cheap.
Let's not forget the Model T
How did you come up with a Diamond Series in that Color and with Binding ? Looks like a Custom shop model but Schecter states the wont do any work on a production model on their website. What's the story on this Beauty ???
Please do tell.
It's a one-off custom Korean built model. I bought it new from Drum City Guitarland in Denver. They had it listed as a prototype, they're a big Schecter dealer, they often get special Schecter models.
It has a more slender neck than the typical Model T. The face dots match the cream colored body and neck binding. Controls are V/B/T.
Wow that's awesome. It has the slim neck and Binding like the Michael Anthony Signature but w/ different bridge, EMG's, shorter control plate and the color of course. The color is Beautiful. I f you ever decide to sell it, Please let me know.
Curious what you paid for such a beauty. What year was it built ?
Thanks for sharing it with us. It shows up in my dreams.
Wow Man, those Michael Anthony Monstertone pickups are HUGE! What a tremendous low end with a clear cutting high end! So glad I had these pickups put into my Model T.
Yes Sir, and the perfect low mid-range grind when you dig into it. In the passive category they're second to none, IMO. I did a little research and the way the P is designed is pretty unique, with the Ceramic 8 bar magnets on the bottom running along-side of the nickel plated carbon steel pole pieces. Big Monstrous Tone for sure. Has the expanded frequency range like an active SD or EMG but is so much more dynamic without the compression. I was really voting for the passive EMG Geezer signature until I heard/played the MA 78 Monster Tone. The GZR P is a great sounding pickup for sure but it's not got anywhere near the extended Lows the Monster Tone P has, IMO.
I ended up making an offer on Reverb and got new set of SD Pro Active (APJ-1) for my Model T (Really cheaped out for $100 shipped). They are scheduled to be delivered Monday. My dUg Bass has the P (APB-1) in it so I know what I'm in for and if I desire I can swap the MA 78's in and out of the MA and my Model T if I get the urge. Easy 15-20 minute job.
Do your MA 78's have Brass Base-plate's ?
Enjoy !

I nearly bought this bass 4 years ago from Drum City - Guitarland, but I went with a custom shop order instead. Still looks amazing!
Yes they do! Schecter basses are often overlooked. In my opinion they make some of the best basses for the money.
I have a Schecter Raiden Special-4...can I join the club!
Nice Bass..I need the wiring schematics,or a pic of the electronics to see if the treble pot is wired right..its cutting out when i turn it up past say 8 of 10..totally cuts the signal,and i put a new pot the same type as the original I pulled out and its doing the same thing,weird...any ideas??
