Schecter Electric Basses

I got this guitar from the musicians friend website for a mere $360, which was an amazingly low price for the quality for guitar I got. I got the guitar because I finally decided to take the step from 4 string to 5 string and one of my friends suggested schecter because it was a new company with low prices. I decided to wait untill I could try the guitar out, so I made my way up to a guitar center in San Jose and finally got to play it. I don't want to ramble but the sound I got at the guitar center through a SWR Mo' Bass amp blew my pants off, Kinda makes me wish I had one. I love the small size and the 24 frets, which I could never live without. 24 frets is something you cannot find in a fender very easily if at all so i enjoy my schecter even more. Since I play in a punk band, I love the growl that I can get from the dual diamond humbuckers, my jazz theory teacher's worst nightmare. I had looked long and far for a new guitar, and I am happy to say that this one blows what I had looked at away :). When it arrived I discovered that the low b and e were a bit rattly but I fixed that problem within the first five minutes by adjusting the action, no problem! The basswood body is durable, and the finish is beautiful. Not that I beat it up or anything, but dents and scratches hardly show compared to my old black finish. The six bolts keep the neck on nice and tight, and the electronics hold out wonderfully. It can take my wost slap bass solos, not too bad! The bottom line, well, although it is heavier than my yamaha, the overall quiality is outstanding and I could never look for another guitar, for the kind of music I play.

I purchased the Bass in Sacramento CA. Neck-Thru Body BODY:Mahogany/Bubina NECK:MultiLaminate Maple/Walnut FINGERBOARD:Rosewood SCALE:35" INLAYS:Oval HARDWARE:Satin Gold BRIDGE:Diamond Custom TUNERS:Grover FRETS:24 Medium ELECTRONICS:EMG Hz w/ Active 3-Band EQ FINISHES:Honey Satin. 18 volt sys. This Bass with its EMG HZ electronics Sounds warm too bright with the 18 volt electronics the bass is versatile. The tone if full of brightness unplugged. GHS strings ring on the 35" scale are great. Tight B. We had to adjust the bridge for the b string it buzzed a little, but that was it. The Honey finish is a bit orange looking but very nice. The Bubinga top is very nice on the wings. The neck though neck and frets are flawless. Fret board is on the flatter side compared to a MusicMan but for a 5 string it is just right. The control knobs are 2 larger and 3 smaller ones, one of the smaller ones was lose when we took it out of the box but with the tools provided I tweaked it.No flaws in the finish. I have had Fenders, Musicman Stingray bass, and Played spectors, Ibanez, warwicks and countless others this bass rocks with the best of them and for the Money. I am now 42 and have played since my teens. Although I Play a rotating schedule with 8 other bass players at church now. The Bass is fat, but you may have a hard time finding one. https://www.schecterguitars.com/ This review was originally published on http://www.musicgearreview.com
