Question Schecter Bass Question

Hello,

Im in the market for a Bass in the $500 range. I went to my local guitar shop and he had a few Fender P-Bass' and Jazzes. I used to own an Ibanez SR500 and really liked the action on it.

Well to the point, he had a Schecter Stiletto there for $359. I played it and it felt 10 times better than the Fenders. I liked the sound better too. It had less of the Rubber Bouncing Ball sound that I hate. The frets felt smooth all the way up.

My concern is that I know you pay more for better quality but this bass felt insanely well built.

I was wondering if anyone has one of these or if a friend does and how its held up. Electrically and physically.

Thanks.

j

Haven't heard anything bad about those, so IF you love how it plays and sounds go for it!

I would also reccomend trying out yamaha basses, they sound incredible and are built realy well for the price range.

Yeah, Im definitely all about what works for music, but I was more curious on the lastibility of the instrument. But for $350 you cant really go wrong for what youre getting.

THanks for the replies.


Soon to be Schecter owner in T-minus 4 hours
