Does hollow body things

Dean

The Schecter Corsair is an amazing bass. It has that fat, woody hollow body sound. It's a very playable bass; it has a 38mm nut width which puts it into Jazz neck territory. The curve on the sits easily in the hands, it is a narrow neck and super easy to get around the fretboard. One of the easiest basses to play in my collection. And I love an ebony fretboard. It was a little read more dry when I got it, which is common with ebony. A little F-one oil fixed that right up. The pickups are Tbird style, and are a great match. I have a set of LaBella 760 flats on it, and it just has that vintage tone. If you are looking for a bass to do hollow body things, this is a good one. The two band eq does well, a step up from a tone knob. It brings some versatility to the instrument. Did I mention it has sustain for days? You can feel the body resonate as you play. Out of the box the setup was perfect. I haven't had to adjust anything. One thing I don't like is the finish on the back of the neck. It has a gloss finish which I don't appreciate on the neck; this is very subjective and easily fixed by applying some Fast Fret to the back of the neck. Shoutout to Kyle Austin, my sales engineer. I called him interested in a semi hollow body and this one wasn't on my radar. But Kyle recommended it, and Schecter is a good brand, and it was the right choice.

Great sounding and playing semi-hollow bass

Micah

I've always been a fan of Schecter guitars, but had never tried one of their basses (even though bass is my primary instrument). I had a Gretsch hollowbody that I played for years, but with my shorter arms, it was always a touch big for me. I ended up buying a Warwick Star Bass, which felt nicer, but I didn't care for the shorter scale length. When I saw Schecter came out with this read more bass, I was pretty stoked to try one. Out of the box the fit and finish were great. I did a minor adjustment to lower the action to my liking, and then it was ready to go. The T-bird pickups work great in this bass, and unlike the dual volume controls found in many semi-hollow and hollow offerings, this one has the more familiar volume and blend, with a separate bass and treble control, which is more to my liking. The strings were a touch bright that were on it for my taste, but that too was an easy fix. My old Gretsch had some D'Addario Chromes on it, and a demo for the Corsair I saw had Labella Deep Talkin' Flats, which sounded nice. However, I had a set of DR Black Beauties lying around, and they were just right. Still plenty of top end like typical roundwounds, but helped cut just a bit of the edge off. I have a pretty substantial bass collection, ranging from a lower end import up to hand made custom basses, and I am completely satisfied having this part of the stable. Check it out! Great bass for the price.
