Well I love this bass, all the punch I expected from a p with lots of tonal options from the preamp. It sounds much bigger than expected. The look is everything I hoped it would be. I do however have 2 issues. 1st is that the nut rattles a lot with the stock strings 105-40 Ernie Ball I think? Here's a sample - https://photos.app.goo.gl/bE28jquAUkkAAzvr7 2nd, which is so incredibly minor I think it highlights just how great everything else is, but this jack plate is such a poor fit for the body shape, a little inset one would've been so much cleaner. I've emailed the shop about the first as that's not something that could've happened in transit. Easy fix with a little veneer shim but shouldn't really have to do that on a £900 bass. Perils of online shoping I guess!

Well it's been a rollercoaster but it's here and I love it. Needs some slight adjustments to action and intonation etc but nothing too substantial. Sounds fantastic though and looks great. It feels odd transitioning to 4 string but I'm liking it, certainly a better fit for stuff I'm wanting to do. It sounds incredible through the GK Fusion S and Barefaced two10, lots of tone to play with. Happy customer!

Bass into the splitter, one channel through the preamp pedal and the other would go to the amp input and the FX send would act as the preamp output. Then back into the return from the splitter. 4 cable method, very cool but probably a real pain for quick changes at gigs etc not to mention the extra cables!

If you're after a super lightweight power amp these seem to get a lot of love https://www.guitarsoundsystems.com/gss-baby-sumo-ampxlite-bass-guitar-power-amp-c2x21844846 I m contemplating getting one of these and having it on a pedalboard with my GT-1000core.

Very excited! Will be a nice change to play a 4 string

PS Andertons just phoned because I'd enquired earlier when they'd be able to get another in, they originally said Dec (before I found one elsewhere) but their supplier had ended up with a spare so they'll have it in next week. If anyone else is looking for one of these I'd get in touch with them, otherwise it'll probably the end of the year. He said the interest over the last few weeks has peaked, probably because of the review Cici did.

Well ended up ordering one from Peach Guitars who had literally just got one in today and had an offer on 🙌 Not sure when it'll be here but probably near the end of the week. So excited!

Yeah sounds great, don't go out of your way obviously but would be cool to hear if it's no effort!

Well I was thinking about this bass and if I should opt for the BB 734a (which I can actually afford 2nd hand now) or hold until I can sell some bits and justify one of these. I think your first impression along with the other glowing reviews I've seen is enough to sell me that I do really want this bass. I haven't seen anything else that has come with a stock set up that I wouldn't want to change either for aesthetics or for sound. This just looks perfect, I don't even mind the goofy clover style tuners. I think that slim flat neck is the thing that all the other p's are missing for me. Thankyou for being the guinea pig on this one 🤣 Feel free to post any further thoughts or audio clips on here!

Please give a review once you've had some time 🙏

Awww this is excellent! Definitely going to order in the future when I've sold some stuff but thankyou for taking away the temptation 🤣

Right then, who bought it? 🤣

Yeah it's quite a departure from classic p-basses. I'm a huge fan of slim necks and I love active but I've been playing 5 string for so long now I'm gonna need some adjustment. I've seen a great deal on a Yamaha BB734a that tick a lot of boxes even if it's nowhere near as pretty as the Schecter or have the slim profile but it's a start. At least I can throw the Yamaha around without worrying too much, I'd be to nervous about dinging the Schecter.

Yeah I think the one thing that makes me a little uneasy is how drastically the price would drop if I did decide I didn't enjoy it and sold it on compared to some other brands. I could get a 2nd hand USA/MIJ p-bass for the same price and sell it on without loosing a penny. That price puts it inline with some heavy hitters. That being said I doubt I'd want to sell it on if it plays as good as it looks.

I built my bass when I was 16 with out much consideration for future me. It was inspired (heavily) by the Warwick thumb and is made from wenge, bubinga and ebony fretboard. It's sooooo heavy it's ridiculous. Getting a RightOn bass strap was a came changer for it. I can play longer than 20 mins without shooting pain in my neck 🙌

If a company misleads/lies to customers they should be called out. I was whizzed off when I updated my graphics card in my pc to a gtx970. It was supposed to have 4gb of ram, in reality it had 3.5gb. Sure most people wouldn't notice but for those that did it was a pretty bitter taste. They got sued and had to reimburse customers accordingly.

That review is the only one I've come across which seems crazy, funny because theres also a review of the Sire P5 which caught my attention too. Instantly subscribed to the channel! I had a little chat with Cici in the comments and seems like a really solid bass. The neck loves beautiful! Just wanted to see if anyone else had any additional views on it, perhaps has had it for a while etc.

Anyone got one of the Schecter p-4 exotic basses or have any experience? This thing looks like it's my dream p-bass in terms of both aesthetics and sound from what little I've found on it. Just wondering if anyone can add any more light? No where stocks it locally but can order in so I could always buy it and return it if I don't like it but on paper everything looks awesome.

I built a bass when I was 16 with my dad and it was my only bass for about 12 years until I bought myself a Warwick Corvette just before lockdown.
