Cuzzie Posted December 28, 2017 Share Posted December 28, 2017 Guys, just seen these and they will be out at NAMM i think 4 string, 4 string baritone (35” scale) and a 5er, wither new J Bucker pick ups. Rumour on the streets is Schecter have invested heavily of late to get back up to speed. personally I think they look badass! http://www.schecterguitars.com/bass/2018-1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M@23 Posted December 28, 2017 Share Posted December 28, 2017 I've never considered a Schecter, but stumbled across the Diamond J5 this morning. Has quality hardware and a 35" scale, on the face of it, it looks like it could be worth a try. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rikki_Sixx Posted December 28, 2017 Share Posted December 28, 2017 Schecter make some lovely looking gear, these look great! The ones I’ve tinkered with in places like PMT have always felt really well finished with quality hardware, though I’ve never played one plugged in. Wouldn’t mind a bash on one of these. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cuzzie Posted December 28, 2017 Author Share Posted December 28, 2017 I completely agree with you in that. has anyone else got some knowledge on the Schecter range? I think my 90s rock fetish would be satiated with these easily Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nibody Posted December 28, 2017 Share Posted December 28, 2017 Always fancied the Omen range - almost pulled the trigger on one but opted for my Vampyre instead. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rOB Posted December 28, 2017 Share Posted December 28, 2017 I am a big fan of Schecter (well, at least the C4 that is my main bass). These new ones look very cool, will be interested to see how they go down. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thegummy Posted December 29, 2017 Share Posted December 29, 2017 Man that is one amazing looking bass. Doesn't seem to be any information on the pickups though. Any indication of price? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Graham Posted December 29, 2017 Share Posted December 29, 2017 Carbon reinforced, laminate, set neck; 35" scale, series/parallel switching, ebony fretboard.....this ticks a lot of boxes for me. Personally, I'd have paired it with a mahogony body, but I appreciate cost and weight would play a factor in the marketing and design.

T-Bay Posted December 29, 2017 Share Posted December 29, 2017 I had an Omen 4, build quality was superb and far better than certain well known makes for the money. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cuzzie Posted December 29, 2017 Author Share Posted December 29, 2017 @thegummyon sweetwater in the US they are retailing at about $1100. I haven’t found any info on their proprietary pick ups yet 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dannybuoy Posted December 29, 2017 Share Posted December 29, 2017 These look superb. I was interested in the 2018 satin black Gibson EB5, but this has piqued my interest even more! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Al Krow Posted December 29, 2017 Share Posted December 29, 2017 Glow in the dark dot markers!! I guess helpful if you play bass with shades on? 😄 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
