Schecter Stiletto Studio Bass

[MusicMan270]

I went into a local music store here in town just looking and i ran across a Honey Satin 6string Schecter Stiletto Studio Bass. Its neck thru, has the gold hardware package, emg active pickups, 3band eq sounds great thru 3different amps. But I dont really know anything about this company. I love this bass can anyone fill me in on if these basses are good road basses and fill me in a little bit about the company. I play a BtB 6string 676 Ibanez with Bartolini Pickups and I also own a Warwick Corvette Rock Bass with the jazz Bartolini Pickups. They want $675 for this bass and its brand new is it a good buy?

Schecter is very good. Though I think they are a little bit overpirced compared to comprable Ibanez & Esp Ltd basses. Btw the pups are passive (emgHz) and the preamp active. just like 95% or more of the active basses made.

I own one I just got recently, pretty solid bass. It's exactly what you'd think for 700 bucks. It's a quality built instrument, good electronics, which I might also mention, the stock pickups are passive, the EQ is the active portion. EMG also makes active pick ups, HZ's, however, are not. Overall, it's a solid bass. Good buy in my opinion.

I also forgot to mention I have a 5 string, not a 6, but I'd imagine it's basically the same build.
