Shecter Diamond J

[bamahammer89]

Ive had My Diamond J for about two years now and love, I lot of older guys in the club scene have complimented it on feeling and playing just as good as an old fender, I plan on putting new Pups in it to try and experiment with the sound a bit for maybe a more vintage sound or more harmonics, the monster-tone Pups are a little more modern like maybe a Passive Stingray.

Anybody else have any experience with the 'Korean made diamond J? I love hearing others opinion's.

I've played both the new Diamond J and P, and am VERY impressed with their build and tonal palette. My only gripe comes from my back, but it seems any bass is making it upset as of late.

I solo'd a Diamond J the other day at my local, and was so into the tone pouring from the coupling of the bass through an Ampeg setup, that I didn't realize it was an "all eyes on me" moment until i stopped and everyone else went back about their business.

Lile I said, very impressive, the pair almost has me overlooking Fender completely.

Now if I could I just sell my Zon to fumd the pair...

Yeah I'm quite happy with mine, it Definitely blows the fender MIMs away in their price range.
They are a little heavy, but there is less routing to the body being top loaded.

I had a toss-up between the Diamond J and P, I ended up going with the P because I already had a couple of Jazz basses in my stable. They're really solid, and I love the weight of them. My only gripe was that I did find the pickups a little too modern sounding for my tastes, and that the neck was gloss finished.

I think a good set of vintage p-ups would be a good experiment to try out. For rock tones though, I'd hang onto the stock ones just in case, they do have a very nice unique punch to them.
