silverfoxnik Posted September 30, 2017 Share Posted September 30, 2017 (edited) [b]Withdrawn from sale [/b] Hi Folks Having just bought another bass, it's time to move on this very nice [b]Schecter [/b][b]Diamond[/b] [b]P[/b][b] Custom 5[/b] String bass, which is in extremely good condition and sounds amazing if you want a combination of P-bass thump and MM style funk all in one! Price-wise, I'm looking for [b]£300[/b] for this beauty! [b]Background: [/b]I bought in on here in 2012 from it's first owner, sold it in 2015, then missed it so much I bought it back again when it became available because I liked it so much. Over the last 5 years, I have used it mainly for rehearsals, plus some gigs (including a trip to Germany last year which was fun) but as I only gig about once a month it's still pretty much in the condition it was when I first bought it. There are a couple of tiny dings on it, but they really are tiny.. [b]Why I'm selling: [/b]This bass has outlasted two Fender Roscoe Beck 5 strings I've had, so I rate it very highly indeed, but I have another 5 string bass which I've invested time & money into to get it just how I want it and which has a similar pick-up configuration to the Schecter, so of the two, this is the one I have decided to let go. [b]Photos: [/b]Here are some photos... I do have more and, if you want to see them, just PM me your email address and I'll happily send them over to you.. Sorry about the rotation of these - Basschat uploading wierdness!! [attachment=254615:20160225_093101.jpg] [attachment=254616:20150731_105235.jpg] [b]Details: [/b]It's a [b]35" scale[/b], [b]passive[/b] bass, with an very even tone across all the strings and has a pretty thunderous sounding B-string! Though it's passive, the switching allows you to get a [b]P Bass[/b] tone, [b]Jazz bass[/b] tone and a [b]MM bass[/b] tone too and with all of that, it has a really [b]hot[/b] output to it - which is how Schecter designed these things; have a look at this Schecter video clip here: [url="https://youtu.be/NVj6u5reiX8"]https://youtu.be/NVj6u5reiX8[/url] [b]Full s[/b][b]p[/b][b]ec[/b] available here on the Schecter website: [url="http://www.schecterguitars.com/international/vault/listing/diamond-p-custom-5-2013-12-13-detail"]http://www.schecterg...13-12-13-detail[/url] And here's some YouTube links of the[b] Diamond P5[/b], which will give you an idea of the tonal palette of the bass: [url="https://youtu.be/kH0b96u12VA"]https://youtu.be/kH0b96u12VA[/url] [url="https://youtu.be/A5I1inJReuQ"]https://youtu.be/A5I1inJReuQ[/url] [b]Price: [/b]Price-wise, I think these were over £650 when they first came out and now they've been discontinued replaced by an active version I believe, so I'm thinking that a price of around [b]£300[/b] for one in such good condition is about right, but if you'd like to make me an offer, then please feel free to PM me. [b]Shi[/b][b]p[/b][b]ping etc: [/b]I'm always happy to ship basses, so if you want it and you want me to ship it, I can promise you that it will be well packed!! Shipping costs are additional to the price of course, and I always recommend that you pay the extra to have a bass properly insured in transit. Equally, feel free to come and give it a try if you're local to me in West Sussex - you won't be disappointed - well, by the tea and biscuits anyway! Any questions, please ask here or send me a PM. Thanks for looking, Nik Edited October 11, 2017 by silverfoxnik Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
