Yeah that is a great looking bass OP. Just realized that it's neck through! Now I need to find one of those to go with my 004!

Schecter Stargazer

I love the Schecter Stargazers. I have a 4 in Vintage Sunburst with a pair of SGD Neo's in it and Tone Monster SBK-3AD preamp and Schecter Stargazer 5 string in Crimson Ghost finish (proto-type) with the EMG's and the SBK-3AD preamp as well. I have numerous other basses but those two are my main basses. I love them!
Mine are bolt on though! Would love a a neck through. Do you have any specifics on that particular one? Does it have PROTO pressed into the back of the headstock?

It's probably a one-off prototype, DCGL has stocked many prototypes from Schecter over the years, so good luck finding another. Sucks that most of their coolest prototypes have never made it into production, this bass is easily superior to the 004 and Stargazer in every way imo.
I played one and fell in love with it. I wish I could find one now
Don't see them for sale too often. The one I found was purchased new from GC by a guitar player who thought he wanted to dabble in bass. He barely played it so it was in like new condition as well as the hard case that came with it.
@Rattfink Does it say where your bass was made? Curious if it was South Korea like my 004? Also does it have a push/pull active/passive switch on the volume knob?
They didn't realy have any specs on it, but if you let me know what your looking for I can figure it out. I will check the headstock when I get home for the "Proto" stamp. Post up some pics of your Stargazers I would love to see them.
Got to give it up to DrumCity Guitarland, they pack more crap into that store then anyplace I've ever been. I bought a drum kit for my son there once, it took them like 30min to find all the hardware for it. Good people that work there too, never felt presser to buy or attempt to up-sell me.
BTW can anyone give me a recommendation on strings for this bass? Normally I run EB Steel Slinkys, and I assume they would be fine, but would be willing to try something new on a new bass.
I put DR Black Beauties on mine and like them a lot. Not only do they look cool but the sound great and feel nice too. I also just got a set of Ken Smith Compressors for another bass and love them. A bit smoother and quieter but still fairly bright sounding.
Here ya go, sorry I don't have a better picture on me at the moment.

I know this post was from a while back but that model is my favorite one. What did you have to pay when you picked that one up back in better times?
I used to own the red version. It was ok. Nothing about it blew me away. I sold it pretty quickly. I remember it has a slim fast neck.
Ah, yes, here is my old FS listing.
SOLD - FS: Schecter Stargazer 4 Crimson Ghost
