EDIT: I finally found some info on this bass, the Schecter website was not being overly helpful. I should really not be so spontaneous with my purchases in the future.
So I walked into a store today, played a bass and really liked it so I bought it. I quickly looked online (in store) and it appeared that the model was well priced for a Raiden so I brought it home. I have spent the last couple of hours trying to get some info on this bass and things are not adding up. I was told in the store that it was brand new and not second-hand.
Is is a Schecter - Diamond Series - Raiden Custom-5 with a sticker on the back of the headstock that says "crafted in South Korea" with an SGR logo at bottom of it. Now, looking at the photos online it does not match the Raiden Special - 5 (too many knobs and no amazing top); it also does not match the C-5 Custom (too few knobs and different headstock). The odd thing is the pricing because it was originally on sale for around $850 (AU$) prior to the discount, which is closer to the pricing of the Raiden Series in Australia.
This youtube video seems to have a 4-string version of the guitar
Mine is all black with a black pickguard and has 5 strings (obviously).
Thanks for your help! I fear I have made a mistake...
