Musashimonkey Posted August 17, 2016 Share Posted August 17, 2016 Great basses, I'm sure you'll be very happy. I've played a few Schecters, including this model, and they are very much understated IMO. They have great build quality, play wonderfully and sound great. The preamp would be an easy upgrade should you want to push the bass further. Their pickups are not always standard sizes, so upgrading those can sometimes require routing. Great basses for the money, I spent a day in Denmark street a while back and these really stood out for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chaos Daveo Posted August 18, 2016 Share Posted August 18, 2016 Owned one and it was a fantastic player and tone,wildly underestimated imo. One of those I'd wish I'd not sold it moments six months down the line, enjoy it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
megallica Posted August 18, 2016 Share Posted August 18, 2016 Owned the schecter custom four and five string basses and they played and sounded great. These had active emgs which had a punchy mid range sound but not enough low end for me. The necks are on the skinny side 38mm nut width on the four string can't remember the five but the string spacing on the five was very tight.

I use normally use Rotosound swingband on my Ric ,but as i say i know some Bass perform better with other strings. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
charic Posted August 20, 2016 Share Posted August 20, 2016 Rotosound swingbass are my second choice but I found they don't stay bright for quite as long and are a bit harder on your fingers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
