Yamaha RBX 375 or Schecter Stiletto Extreme 5

I've got a Yamaha RBX 375, and it's an excellent, but somewhat uninspiring bass. The Schecter is (at least here) a bit more expensive, particularly since the Yamaha seems to be on a permanent sale. But it looks a little more inspiring. Other than that only your own ears and hands can judge this for you.
What do you mean by "inspiring"? I mean, why would the Yamaha not be inspiring? It surelly looks as kick ass as the Schecter, if that's what you mean. (menar du "inspirerande"?)
 
Sorry for not responding until now.

By uninspiring I mean that I just see a black slab. Shiny for sure, but still all black. There's no telling if it's made from plastic, wood or concrete other than weight.

Stupid me sold a beautiful Aria Pro II just to get a 5 string bass, and now I've come to realize I'm a natural wood kind of guy for instruments.
