Schecter Stiletto Extreme 4 Review

[Max Vartanian]

As a Bass player of 7 months, This bass fits every need a bass player could have. I'll be covering everything about this bass.

First of all, The neck. The neck on this bass is unbelievable. The smoothness and lacquer is reminiscent of a B.C. Rich neck. Not too bare, not too lacquer-ey. The neck is made of Maple, and has a rosewood fretboard, with 24 frets. The inlays on this neck are the coolest ive ever seen, tem being made with a combination of pearloid & abalone. And heck, Its a bolted on with SIX bolts!

Second, The body. You would not beleive the finish job and spectacular color of the mahogany body. An Eye opening velvet red-burst color with an amazing zebra-like pattern. The body is the the most comfortable body I've ever sat down or stood up playing with. No sharp edges will be found on this body as it is rounded to perfection.

Third, The hardwear and Internals. This bass is packed with two of Schecters very own humbucking, and active/passive, pickups. Black chrome tuners, knobs, and bridge accompany this bass. The four knobs are Volume, Blend, and active two-band EQ. It uses only a single 9V battery in the Internals bunker.

Fourth, Playability and tone. This bass was ready to play as soon as i took it out of the box. It sounds wonderful for all genres and I have yet to find a flaw in the tone. The neck is so easy to work up and down and can easily be played fast, or slow.

And Finally, overall review. This bass is a fantastic go-to for the intermediate - expert bass players. I'd recommend it to anyone.

I had one of these for a little while. I really liked it but my wife wanted to go her own way..resulting in us splitting up. Needed cash so I sold it. Here is the review that sold me..

I own a 5-string version of this bass and it sounds pretty cool. I like schecter stiletto basses for their smooth curvaceous design and their versatility. not to mention that these basses are suitable for any genre of music. including metal. \m/

I found the one I had a pleasant surprise..however I have read conflicting specs on whether the wood body is actually mahogany. I have read some specs that say it is basswood.....

It is great that you found a bass that is perfect for you! Many of us spend years in pursuit of this.

I've never owned a Schecter, but this is the model that interests me. These seem to me to be Schecter's take on the NS body style.

I've become quite enamored with the body shape of this thing recently. Personally I prefer the look of the NT Studio version. That cherry burst and gold hardware is gorgeous though, reminds me of a Spector.

Alot of people consider Schecter to be the hidden gems of basses. Every single schecter I've played sounded great, and played great.

I've read that too. I would believe that the body is basswood. especially since the bass is so light. mahogany has a little more weight and can absorb more sound. not to mention they have warm lows and good sustain.

Schecter's web site states that it has a mahogany body with quilted maple top.
