Schecter Model T a good bass?

Hey there!

 

Between all my woodwork and a bit of playing, I was looking, recently, at one of my first loves: the Schecter Model T bass. I never played it, and I am not looking at buying it ( ... just yet ...). I read a few different reviews online: some say it's bad others it's good ... not sure why such a big difference in opinions? 

I like the look, the old style feature wood combined with P+J pickups. But, as I said, never tried. 

Is it worth? What do you guys think of the overall bass and sound?

Cheers

Awesome basses. I had two as my main guitars for a couple of years. Great PJ tones, nice and growly, mine were both Korean made, I haven’t tried anything later.

 

 I’m not so keen on the ‘cowpoke’ style black/yellow colour, and I’m not keen on the 5 in line headstock on the 5er, but that’s just personal opinion.

 

Nice basses indeed. There’s a Robert DeLeo dig one floating around online, around £500 ish, good bass.

A few years back I popped into Andertons and spent an hour noodling in the bass room.

 

Most of the stuff was a bit meh, usual mix of knackered/poorly set up Ps and Js etc.  They had a Schecter in there, set up wasn't great, but honestly it was the best bass in there.  I'd never buy one, but it was just a decent guitar, well built, well finished, sounded nice.

me too ... and I love your coat too!! 🙂 

The Model T is about 15 years old and was made in Korea. Has the Seymour Duncan passive pickups. I mostly use the front pickup and add just a little back pickup to taste.

 

The coat is genuine 1980s fashion which I picked up 2nd hand recently.  Perfect for the genre:)
