Just furthering my allegiance to the Schecter club....

Here is my "new to me" Diamond P- Custom picked up on Tuesday from a fellow TB'er...

LOVE IT!

Sorry about the crappy pic. I snapped it in a hurry......

Did a setup, changed the volume knobs, and put D'Addario ETB92's on it right away and set it all up.....plays great!

the only thing i dont really like on this bass but not a huge deal is that there is no battery box... i hate having to take the screws out when i need to replace the battery. they easily strip out too. i dont know if they make a model that does have a sepereate box but if they do im interested... and maybe some more tone options like the studios maybe? i have not tried a studio yet but would like to. there really isn't much im looking for thats different, more or less one more bass with equal quality and feel...

the studio has a separate compartment for the batteries (18-volt pre) and it has threaded brass inserts so there's no need to worry about stripping the wood.

I've had two Schecter basses in the past, about 5-6 years ago - a jazz bass model, then a beautiful Stiletto 5, but over time I parted with them & the Schecter brand kind of just fell off my radar. I don't get out to GC much, but I was able to do so this past Monday afternoon just to "browse" because I haven't walked into any GC in well over a year. Played a few things, and saw this beauty - after 5 min with it, I had to have it. What a tone! Build quality is as fabulous as I remember it from the Stiletto Elite I used to own years ago - perhaps even slightly better. It's good to own a Schecter again & even better to see that they keep raising the bar on build quality & pickup options, etc. This bass should rightfully be tagged at twice the asking price! Superbly constructed instrument that sounds even better than it looks & plays like butter! :hyper:

Let me say upfront that I do not have a Schecter Bass. In fact I have been playing only for a month. I have a Peavey Millennium 5 AC BXP 5 string my wife got me after I mentioned it was one of the things on my bucket list. I am old enough that those things matter. I love the Millennium however I have my eye on a Schecter Studio 5 string in honey satin. I have enjoyed reading all 43 pages of this thread in the last 2 days and can't wait to get the Sudio 5 so I can post a picture and join the group. Great thread.

Here is a pic of the Millennium.
