aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaand I know what you bought to ease that pain!
you haven't posted it here yet have you?
Well, I saw that... I was talking to @LowEndLobster.... but I won't spoil his fun.
No neck dive, haven't had an issue with that in any of my other Schecters. My Deluxe 5 is the heaviest, and has a tiny but, but that may just be me...
GAS is forbidden in my dimension. I have like 31 basses, no time for GAS here!... plus my girlfriend would kill me.
Don’t think my (recently assembled) FrankenFender J has made it to this ‘page’ 
American Special P (Black) w/Geddy Lee J neck- SD QP pups (P waterslide added)
<GHS Pressurewounds> (8.2lbs)
Geddy Lee J (3TSB) w/Amer. Professional J neck- SD Apollo pups (linear humbuckers)
<GHS Balanced Nickels> (8.4lbs)
Amer. Spec. P (Oly White) w/Amer. Spec. J neck- SD Antiquity II pups- Hipshot lollypops (P waterslide added)
<Chromes> (8.4lbs)

It's a great bass and I'm loving it. I really like how simple it is with only volume and tone, and how organic it feels and sounds.
And I love the neck of this one. It's really confortable to play.
This just came today! Was really excited for it. Warwick Rockbass Starbass 5 Fretless. Got it on Reverb as b-stock for $437+S/T. I can't find any flaws with it other than some light streaks in the fingerboard. Going to swap out the hardware for gold shortly

Got the gold hardware swapped in. Think I'm going to do the knobs and switch too. Not sure where I could find gold pickup covers, but I could live with that.
You could take the covers off and take them to a plating shop. I am sure they will make them gold.
Just finished getting her strung up and setup! Plays great! Looking up people to gold plate the pickup covers considering the MEC goldies are OOS... and like 200-300 bucks per pickup. Considering that's more than the cost of the bass for both pickups, gonna hopefully find something cheaper. I have gold knobs and a gold switch end en route to add a little more bling.
Just finishing putting this mishmash together. Fun project and sounds great thanks to a Gibson Tbird bridge pup and correct electronics. Still massaging the Pickguard where it doesn’t quite fit. A little tongue and cheek on the headstock. I prefer the 3/1 tuners of the headstock. And a nod to a Jazz Bass
I kinda dig Orange myself....
