Schecter Owners Club, part 3

Edbo, the Pearl came out great! I like the straight cut where it goes across the pickups. Do you still have the neck with the pearl blocks (from the black pickguard pic)? That might really pop with the pearl guard.
They were just stickers and I just took them off. I have better ones on order like the ones on my dUg Bass. New Cream Pickguard coming as soon as I get it finished also.

I love Delano Pickups!! That probably sounds amazing.

I really do like them. They are so versatile. Because passive tone controls affect one another, if I roll the bridge pickup back just a notch from 100%, and leave all else at 100%, it can cop a reasonably close fretless tone (think tears in heaven eric clapton) if I could only play it as nicely as the artist recording...

I forgot to mention that I got the idea to cut my Model-T pickguards straight across by the P pickup from the Michael Anthony signature Basses.

So this came home with me tonight from a local GC. Preowned, but in immaculate condition - plus, I traded in a couple of obsolete instruments I had laying around. It was already at a great price, but I walked away with it for practically nada. I forgot how much I've missed the Stiletto body style and the clarity & punch of EMG's. I've got fresh strings on it & about 90% tweaked & dialed in on my setup. It looks like a Stealth Bomber and sounds as good as it looks - I'm diggin' it!

I don't remember if I ever posted pictures of my Schecters so I'll just go ahead and post some now of my Omen Extremes which I have had for about 3 to 4 years now:

I also used to have a Schecter Stiletto Custom 4 in natural but I do like these Omens more. I almost came home with this last week:

I ended up getting something else instead, but part of me keeps thinking this bass would look great on stage and it also sounded really good. drool
 
Just got this the other day. Can't say I ever thought I'd get a modern style bass with active pickups and a Schecter of all things. I also can't believe how amazing this thing is.

I would like to ask for my number.


I don't believe anyone is moderating this Club any longer to pass out #'s.

Those Purple Stiletto's are so beautiful !

Those look like Active EMG's but, everyone including Schecter's site say they have 35HZ's in the and a Active 3 band EQ. I'm confused. Do you know for certain what is in yours ?
Thanks
Eddie

I didn't realize that they were passives. Thanks for the info. I think I need to read up more on these. I assumed that battery meant active. Thanks again for the heads up. Never liked EMGs in guitars but these sound great.
