And that vintage sunburst finish looks incredible (at least from pictures online...I haven't seen it in person).

It's great that you got it in your hands. Internet opinions are never a good substitute for judging yourself. One person's metal bass is another's "blues with a new style". It's funny to me that many people judge the apocalypse bass by it's name and peg it as a metal bass, but several of Schecter's endorsers tht play funk seem to love it, and it's gotten popular in that community. Glad it worked out for you.
I recently tried EMG Ceramic & Steal Pickups, both regular and X-Series. They are my favorites now.
Your Riot is BEAUTIFUL !!! Congratulations

I did a quick unboxing before the review just to get a first look at the Riot 5
I like the looks of the Schecter Session Stiletto 4 string. I know the nut width is 1.496 and the neck radius is is 12", but I'm wondering how thick the neck is front to back. I really like a thin neck (referred to as a "thin C" on some other basses) and am hoping the Stiletto's neck isn't too chunky. Anybody know?
I'd like to request a number, if that's a thing, and/or join the club. I have a Schecter Stilleto Custom 4 string and an Omen 8 string. Thanks!
Copied this photo from my Hartke club post. I have the Schecter Stiletto Stage 5 and am super happy with it. Great feel and such a wide range of tones!
Someone’s probably mentioned this but the thickness @ 1st Fret is .826” and .905” at the 12th. Schecter just calls this Neck Shape “C” on their website. No mention of thin, but with the neck dimensions it sounds fairly thin.

My Schecter Stiletto Stealth has one of the thin C neck-yes, it does feel thin due to the very flat fretboard.
My dUg Bass has the same specs but, has a 35" Extra Long Scale length. It's so comfortable and fun to play.
This one is willed to my youngest son. Definite keeper.

I got a review and demo on that new Riot 5 Beast. I go over all my thoughts an solo the pickups / controls on the new EMG PX-CS / JX-CS and B30 preamp set. Really a great combo!
Hung out with dUg Pinnick for a minute last week after an excessively HOT KX show in Dayton, Oh and he was kind enough to add his signature to my slightly, lol, modded Schecter dUg Pinnick Baron H. He seemed to really like what I had done with it. I guess dUg was saying a prayer for my Bass when my best girlfriend snapped the photo.
Just picked up this beautiful CV4. Kinda music man thing they did.
