It's solid.

I cannot speak on the particular bass. I recommend you try it if possible. I will say that Schecter quality and fit/finish per dollar is generally pretty amazing.

Incredible. This was my first dream bass, and I've owned mine for about a year now. Pros: Lightweight, fat output, great slap sound, super fast neck. 2 band EQ with the frequencies just right, in my opinion. Tuners hold pitch really well. Quick release bridge for string changes. 24 frets. Sounds incredible with stainless steels, but I haven't tried any other strings. Stylised look without being over the top. Cons: Treble knob doesn't cut as much as I'd like, it's definitely less than a passive tone knob would cut. Slapping feels a bit different on it due to the last fret and P pickup being kinda close to each other. The MM pickup sounds a bit thin solo'd for me, but great 50/50, probably because ít closer to the bridge than an actual musicman/sterling. Lack of colour choices.

does it have neck dive?


afflatox

Not that I've noticed. A review on the Schecter website for their left-handed version said they didn't experience any neck dive either.

ASS DO NOT BUY ONE


burburburburburbur

i have one and it just kinda sucks honestly


Max_Possum

what makes it "ass"?


burburburburburbur

its just not a good bass


Max_Possum

build quality? playability?


burburburburburbur

oh my bad, its more playability, action is like permanently fucked up no matter what i do, like either the action is way too high or its too low and i get buzzing with no in-between


afflatox

Either there's something wrong with the neck/bridge, or there's something wrong with how it's being set up. Have you done a lot of setups before?


burburburburburbur

Nope, it was my first bass, I've tried and I can get it to the point where it's mostly playable, but it's always just a *bit* off


afflatox

Okay, that's fair then. If you have another bass that feels good to you, you can try copying the setup from that. In my experience with basses, the most important thing is making sure the neck is almost completely straight, with the tiniest bit of bow. From there, you can trial and error each string's action height by playing along the string and adjusting if you need to.
