Tait Posted January 18, 2010 Share Posted January 18, 2010 i think they look amazing. i was considering buying one for sale on here a while ago but didn't for some reason. they're so cool its unbelievable! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RAY AGAINST THE MACHINE Posted January 18, 2010 Share Posted January 18, 2010 (edited) one was for sale for ages last year.(the brown one) minus a volume knob iirc.Don't think it sold ,could be wrong. I noticed that my schecter stiletto elite 5 is now d iscontinued, tho' it seemed very popular. I wonder why they keep changing their models ??

krispn Posted January 18, 2010 Share Posted January 18, 2010 Sound control - before they went bust -had one for sale in a 'go on make me an offer' manager special. Dont think they could shift if even then...... They sound great but have a big body shape - got a nice mid hump know that really adds to the sound. I would say if you like the look\size and the money is right get it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can put you in touch if you like. When I played it, I thought it had a really powerful tone, with strong lower mids and trebles. Not too much unlike a stingray, really. The neck is super chunky, but the whole thing is not very heavy IIRC. Maybe not the ideal tool for smooth jazz, but what do i know? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

simon1964 Posted January 19, 2010 Share Posted January 19, 2010 I played one in Sound Control Birmingham (as it then was). Very nice sound - pretty much a Stingray vibe going on as you'd expect. On the downside, the body is pretty chunky. I would also want to try one on a strap - all tele shaped basses I've tried have had real neck dive. They look fantastic though!

RAY AGAINST THE MACHINE Posted January 19, 2010 Share Posted January 19, 2010 (edited) Speaking of sound control: I think they were at the time the only uk seller of Schecter's. One regret about me and sound control;They stocked these creamy leather amps ,which would have matched my Telecaster but I couldn't remember the name of'em -or the price! Anyone got any ideas?
