Yes, that's quite strange. I wonder what strings and tunings each person is using.

Pulled the trigger on a Silver Metallic Raiden Deluxe! The free case was the hammer! Should have it Monday, July 19th! I'll use it along with my Silver Metallic Ibanez SR300 at our new contemporary service starting August 1st.

Can't wait to see this!!
Not I. They're pretty hard to find in store so most people seem to get them off ebay cl, or from someone they know.
Did you notice a big change in sound when you did this? I'm thinking about upgrading my EMGs in my 4 string. I actually don't like the tone the bass is currently giving off. I think my $175 Yamaha can get the tone I want better than my Elite.
Before the change, I liked everything about my Elite-5 except for its tone. That's why I swapped out the p/u's and preamp. Now it's I love everything about it. It's a killer bass now.

Given that about a third of their total bass lineup is some version of a Stiletto, that's not all that surprising...to me, anyway.
I know it's not real till pics, so here ya go

lol old textbooks... my undergrad is in physics, and I was contemplating some sort of interface field with medicine, ergo the chem.
Well to answer your question, both of my Schecter's are tuned standard A-440. Both now have Ernie Ball Regular Slinky Bass-5 (45-130) #2836 strings installed on them.
Looking at the pic of the bridge on RickeyGedde's Extreme-5, i've never seen a bridge on any bass setup backwards like this one.

Although I'm pretty darn new to the bass, that bridge setup still looks strange to me. I wonder if they're tuning to a different interval or something. Or maybe the intonation is just off.
My first though was that he's a lefty playing an upside-down righty, but the strings prove that theory wrong.
Hey Ricky...what up with that? And also, we are NOT trying to pick on you at all, OK? We just notice stuff like this...

Just found this forum and came straight to the Schecter thread. I'll get pics of my Stilletto Elite-5 later.
My first bass had a bridge that would move to that position on its own, thing couldn't keep intonation for more than an hour. Doubt this is the case on Rickey's beast though!

Ok so while browsing the Schecters on ebay, I came across a model T...but this was no ordinary Model T...it was a 5 string! Schecter doesn't even make 5 string model T's. Apparently it was made back in 2006 and has been used as a floor model. Too bad they want too much for it.

Damn, that's nice! I don't think they're asking too much for it, but that's just me...although, with it being a 5'er, I'd pass on that particular one.
Fun Schecter Fact - for those who don't know, Robert DeLeo was a Schecter employee before STP hit it big, and both the Model T and the Diamond J are his designs.
