Lucas gets #209 and a welcome!

One thing I like about Schecter in general is their usual aversion to just plain ol' dots...most all basses have some sort of fretboard inlay, even the lower-priced models. Nice touch, and one that a lot of other companies don't do much, if at all.

Probably Schecters way of trying to stand out in the market. Make their basses a little more fun.

Gotta say I disagree with this. My Stiletto Elite-5 has a nice classy finish and reserved chrome hardware. Schecter put plain ol' dots in to keep a smooth look across the bass. No need to go over the top with inlays, though the 12th does have a mother-of-pearl diamond.

I really gotta take a picture and get in on this........

The elites, studio, and customs are probably the only stiletto series models without fancy inlays. What year is your elite?
 
I dig that 8x10 GK Goldline cabinet. How does it sound?

I have nothing but good things to say about that Cab. I know it doesn't get a lot of love on TB but I've had it for about 5 months now and have gigged with it about 10 times. Its performed like a champ. It can withstand 800w at 4 Ohms and for less than $400 its a steal as far as I'm concerned. From a tone perspective I get killer mids from my Geddy Jazz and a super fat, gritty low end from my Schecter and both sound great (Schecter content added to attempt to keep this post on-topic - lol)

Its a tank, no doubt about that. But that doesn't really bother me. I've been schlepping gear my whole life it seems so I don't mind carting this thing around. Its got runners on the back which make it a little easier to slide it up stairs. There are a whole bunch of people around here that dislike the gold cones but they don't bother me. I've also got a Hartke rig I use for smaller venues so silver cones or gold cones...whatever....I just like the tone from aluminum cones. Besides, I've received a ton of compliments on how the thing looks.

Bottom line for me is that I'm sure other 8x10's are better but this cab has worked out amazingly well for me and the price was unbeatable.
 
Wait...you don't have a number? Hang on...

** Mudd checks his copy of the members list **

...I don't see your name here after all, and so I can offer you #[DEL]210[/DEL] 211 and explain that I've only been passing out numbers for about a month or so and starting w/#201 (and where's Fearless Leader, anyway?)
