I just got the same one! Interesting, I notice both your pups have "emghz" on them. Only my neck pup has emghz, the bridge pup only has emg. I wonder what that's about. Mine is a studio as well

Congrats on the great purchase! I love this bass, it's beautiful and plays beautifully.
As far as I know both stock pickups are EMG 35HZ. Perhaps someone before you has changed out the bridge pup?

Also, post a nice big pic of your new guitar! I love seeing the differences in the wood grain. I like the circular pattern mine has but yours looks really defined and interesting. I'd like to see it more close up!

Been spank'in this plank for 2 days now. Just here to boast in the Model T.
To think I was contemplating selling this one about a year ago but, I installed
the Geezer Set and it brought this Bass alive. Actually only the P is connected.
I tried various pickups in it and was never happy with it's tone until the EMG's.
This Bass came together because of a Neck and Body found here on TalkBass.
None of my Schecters are going anywhere anytime soon.

Hello! I'm in the market for a 5er to play in a classic rock band. Currently playing PBass. I'm liking the old-school look of the Model T Session 5, and the price is right. Would like to hear any pros & cons. I'm particularly interested in the 'tightness' of the B-string, the weight, the overall playability, construction quality, and (obviously!) the sound. I have read a few reviews, but I'd love to hear from real-world users.

Thanks in advance!

They make some really great stuff for the price in this day and age, regardless of “where” they are actually made. Nice Stuff! The Bass I regret selling the most was the Stiletto Custom 5. As a happy ending I now own a Stiletto Custom 6, could NOT be more pleased. Yippee! I got something right! So even though you did not ask, I’m going to put my vote in here for either the Stiletto Custom 5, or Stiletto Studio version. Think they still make both. Either would CROSS the lines of just about any style of music you care to play, now or in the future. Wait! My soapbox is falling apart, and I have to leave, rat’s. Seriously, whatever you choose will be fine and you will sound GREAT! Best of luck, let us know how things worked out.

I seen some new P's with a single MonsterTone P in them also.
I see that these new M.A.'s are a little more expensive than the Korean made version. If these Indonesian Models are as good, I'll have to have one. Schecters QA has been really good for many years now, so I'm betting they'll be fantastic.
The Quality of the 2 Korean made versions I have is up there with Instruments that cost much more.

Hopefully the B doesn't sound as floppy and muddy as Fender's Precision V.

Nice! Hopefully the B on the 5 isn't as floppy and muddy as the Fender Precision V.

It wont be because it's 35 inch scale. It's simply amazing what 1 inch makes ! I've never had any problems with 35" scale basses, even tuned a half step down. I've never played a 34" low B that didn't suck unless you put a .135 string on it and good luck fretting that. It can be done but, it has to be set up right by a pro and used by a skilled player with a light touch, IMO. YEMY, LOL ;)

Should the “flabby” B thing get to be a concern, try picking this up a “notch” with like a .135 or something. I believe that some of their models were strung with “Elixar”s” back when. My 6’er clearly had a tag on it that the “set” was Ernie Ball. Regardless of which model you choose, you can change out strings to suit your playing style. Places like [Invalid or Expired Link Removed] can help you out if needed. Wait! I’m thinking I am on Admin’s radar for plugging a “store” or “shop”. What was I thinking!. So while I am waiting for my punishment of carrying X number of concrete blocks up the hill, let’s all “plug in” and wake up the neighbors . They have slept long enough! Party!!!!

Same here. Though I'm a short-scale player now, the bass I most regret parting with was my Schecter C-4 Diamond Series about two or three years ago. It was a great bass in all respects.

I never cared for the way Schecter does those inlays on the fretboard. Solid looking basses though.

Yep, they did the offset blocks on the Session Series Basses. Now it looks like most of the newer Diamond Series Bass are getting the offset dots. Doesn't really bother me. I applaud them for doing something different.
All my Schecters are Traditional Dots but, I've added adhesive Blocks to 3 of them.

Don't know how I missed this one yesterday. Very interesting. Relic, roasted maple neck & MonsterTones. "J-4 Sixx" :hyper:
