megallica Posted November 10, 2010 Share Posted November 10, 2010 (edited) I am looking at switching back to four strings and am selling this to fund my new bass. I'm based in Milton Keynes, Buckinghamshire and would prefer a buyer collection but can post this if needed. The bass is in excellent condition, never gigged and has some light scratches on the back of the bass The emgs give a great punchy sound and the woods and hardware are top quality for this price range If you have any interesting four string trades, let me know or the price is £300, postage would be around £20 if needed These sell for around £580 online, this site has the technical info: [url="http://www.guitarandampshop.co.uk/acatalog/Schecter_Stiletto_Custom-5_Natural_Satin_5-String_Electric_Bass_Guitar.html"]http://www.guitarandampshop.co.uk/acatalog...ass_Guitar.html[/url] Thanks Andy Edited December 19, 2010 by megallica Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chuck_stones Posted November 10, 2010 Share Posted November 10, 2010 What kind of things would you be looking for in a trade? Also, what is the scale length of this bass? Cheers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers.[/quote] Scale is 35" - helps give a tighter B sound IMHO I'd consider any four string bass of a similar value in trade, with cash adjustment either way Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

theosd Posted December 16, 2010 Share Posted December 16, 2010 I can vouch that these are awesome basses for the money. Lightweight despite their mahogany body, B string is great (I have black nylons on mine and it's still nice and tight), pickups and EQ are great, hardware is great (as you would expect from schecter) and playability is great. String spacing is fairly narrow on the 5ers and the natural finish is prone to denting and scratches but overall these are [i]great[/i] and should be far more popular than they are!

chuck_stones Posted December 16, 2010 Share Posted December 16, 2010 I've got a fantastic Tanglewood 4 string limited edition Baron bass which I'd be up for trading for a 35" 5 string. Any interest? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

megallica Posted December 19, 2010 Author Share Posted December 19, 2010 Thanks for the interest - I sold this for the full asking price on ebay. I regretted selling my four string model so bought the five but didn't get on with the narrow string spacing - since then I've decided to stick to four stringers.

theosd Posted December 19, 2010 Share Posted December 19, 2010 In light of how quick this sold I'm considering moving mine on as I'm also back with four strings. If anyone's interested please let me know and make me an offer via PM. Would be interested in trades/part-ex for a small practise amp. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
