Great bass!

I have been in search of a 5 string that I like but just wasn't finding anything that felt and sounded really good. I found this on a recent visit to Sweetwater and fell in love. This bass plays really well, feels great and sounds amazing. The coil tap is kind of useless because of the drop in volume, but there is plenty of usable tone without it!
This is a surprisingly good bass.

I needed a five-string bass that made Jazz Bass noises, but I didn't really need to be laying down American Jazz Bass V money for something I wasn't sure I'd like. This bass plays as well as any of my other basses, including several Music Man basses and a Modulus Quantum 5. There is some 60-cycle hum, but it's not intolerable. The 35" scale is very comfortable to me since I go… read more back and forth between 34" and 35" scale basses regularly. The only possible caveats are the narrower than usual string spacing and the significant volume drop with the coil tap. Those are hardly deal breakers, though; and the bass is just really, really fun to play. I only really notice the string spacing when switching from the Schecter to one of my four-stringed basses, and only then for a few moments. Buy one.
