Schecter Kills it. Robert Herndon Content + Lefties Check THIS out.

Morning, Mike, I have never tried a 6 string Schecter. BUT Robert has had a few and he definitely knows what is reliable and sounds good.
My experience was the one Schecter Bass I owned and regrettably sold. A Robert Deleo Signature Model T- Diamond Series with EMG's.

About a year after selling it, I messaged the buyer to see how he liked it. His answer was, " if this tells you anything, I just recorded an album with it."

Pretty solid endorsement!
 
Yeah Bro, I had a precursor to this once when a friend who is a gigging and recording bass player was nice enough to check out my bass before a show he was doing for one band leader he played for at the time. Sight unseen, he donned the bass ( active EMG's) HAHA I am glad the Battery held up. Then he proceeded to tell me, " I sweat a lot when I play." I said no worries, it can wash off. Then he did not even make one stop in their show to go back to his own bass. He played mine the whole night.

I knew it must have been a good one at that point.
His main bass at that time is a,,, LOL I just realized he switched from his Spector to my Schecter.
 
I have several Schecters. I'm not going to pretend that I am a fan of the pickups that came in them but I got all of them cheap enough second-hand that I could afford whatever upgrades I wanted.

On the whole I really like the necks and the fretboards, and their super strats are well-balanced and play great

Good to hear from another owner and player. DD.
Like I said, I had my one experience with the EMG equipped bass.
Pretty sure some of the basses have Duncan passive pups which are also in numerous other brands of bass.

As I said, no experience with the pups in Schecter 6 stringers.
 
I’ve grown to really like schecter. If you asked me years ago then yea, I’d be in the boat that it’s an LTD with a different name, but only because the ones I’ve seen at that point where the les Paul copies that came stock with active EMG’s. I mean that would seem right up my ally but it just never grabbed my attention.

I’d grab it off a wall and play it, and they are really easy guitars to just do that, they always seem to be set up really well out of the box.

Recently I got the Schecter Reaper 7, I have a whole review with pics up. My last two recordings it’s the guitar I used “hold the line til dawn.” And “avenged by the angel of death”. Also used it at the very end of “waltz of the dead” (partly because the battery in my Richie Faulkner V finally died after over a year) I’ve heard that their lower end passive pickups are ok, they get the job done. But my experience with the Schecter Decimators. I’m actually really starting to love the tone of them.

Everything else, the neck feels phenomenal, not too thick and not too thin, really helps out with the extra width as I have medium sized hands. Just over all a really comfortable axe to play.
 
For me it has always been the necks that sold me on the guitar. I can change the other stuff

Here are mine in order of purchase.

I sold my Omen Extreme to my best friend today for his son, who managed to break the selector switch on his awful cheapy Epiphone this week. I have the Epiphone here and we all agreed that it isn't worth repairing the selector switch in order to sell it, so I will rewire it with just the bridge pickup and the selector switch and neck pickup disconnected.
 
I recently had a Schecter Stiletto bass.......

schecter close 1.jpg

well made-- worked good-- neck through construction fine woods.....just wasnt my bag........was "to perfect" if that makes sense? Maybe Im just used to "adjusting" myself to "imperfect" Gibsons ........ a PERFECT guitar just doesn't FEEL right to me .............

the hate mail can be directed to @Session 5 --- he will inform you the OTHER "G" brand guitars are far superior and you should buy 5 .
 
My first Schecter was an early production 2005 Hellraiser. Absolutely never had to touch it. Best setup of any guitar I've ever had.

My 2019 Hellraiser C1FR is exactly the same. Zero issues. No hum or buzz. Super consistent setup...and I'm comparing the Schecters to 5 brand new Gibson's I purchased between 2016 and 2019...and there is no comparison.
