Used Schecter Model T Value?

This is Schecter Model T, its the second I have owned in the same wood and color combo. I got this one off of the guitar center website with help from a TBer. I was expecting the awful Duncan Design pickups but was surprised when it arrived they were actually Dimarzio's. I am giving serious thought to getting EMG's put in this bass as well as a refinish in another color. I would love to own one of the Robert DeLeo signature ones, depending on the color.

I like these basses alot, i bet the dimarzios sounded good, but the duncan designed just didn't cut it.

At that price I would also pass. I've seen new ones for less than that on Amazon in the past year.

Yeah I have heard the lore of the $365 shipped Model T from Amazon. I wish I had gotten in on that deal almost as much as the HWY 1 steal that happened a few months ago. I never find the good deals.:scowl:

I really did consider it as they come up used so rarely.
The guy selling it is an older dude with no motivation to lower his price and he also lives three hours away so it looks like I will have to go with out.

If it were up to me I would go with the butterscotch with the Duncan Basslines anyway so I guess I should just save up.

Go here.

BTW, I finally got all those backordered ones. :smug:

I passed on those Schecters. The thing of taking another brand model's iconic look and making a version that's just skewed enough to prevent lawsuits just seems low-class and rubs me really wrong. Lots of brands do this, of course, but I wouldn't touch a T or a Stargazer or whatever just for that reason.

They may be great basses otherwise, I dunno.

I doubt you've seen DeLeo sig T's on Amazon for $365, or anywhere else for that matter. Garden variety Model T...sure, but it's not the same bass. The passive version of any bass will cost less than the sooped-up active model. Besides, IICR, the sig model has been out of production for a while, anyway.
