BASSIST DREAM INSTRUMENT

Over the last 56 year's as a musician, I've owned numerous basses ranging from $300 to $3,000. This is my second Schecter Stileto and I find it to be as fine an instrument as I've ever played. The neck is very fast (narrow) and it's sound, unbelievable! Sweetwater set this one up for me befor shipping it out. A superb job and another thrilled customer

New bass for this old man.

After not playing for 12 years, one of my old bands wanted to do a job. It was actually a job for a saddle club We played country at our bands last job 18 years ago for that dance. We did it last year. They wanted us back this year. I played classic rock for a few years with my old Peaveys. This Bass is amazing. After leaving it in the box for 24 hrs. I took it out ,tuned it and took off. It is smooth, fast and easy to play.

A bass that is worth four times what I paid for it!

I've played bass (and other instruments) for more than thirty years, and have been lucky enough to utilize some wonderful ones from various manufacturers. The Schecter Stiletto Extreme 5 is not only visually gorgeous, but it plays like a dream. From the smoothness of the frets and strength of the neck to its balance - a hard thing to achieve in a five-string - and the range of sound coming from the active pickups is just as impressive. I am also very happy with Sweetwater and my sales engineer, Corbin Byler, for being very proactive about the service and satisfaction I received. Well done to all!

Awesome Schecter Bass

123I would like to thank Will on his advise and thoughts, and to the Sweetwater team for a great job done. When I received the box I let the box cool down for hours, as it was pretty hot from being on the delivery truck and outside also. I'm glad I bought the Schecter case and the humidifier packs to have the Bass shipped to me in. SMART! When I was getting the Bass ready to play, I was just in awe how well it was put together and is so hot looking. The neck which I was worried about since I couldn't see or inspect it, was awesome Schecter neck quality as they are known for. Very impressed. I played it for hours and was very pleased on how it sounded, I was able to create and get the tones I wanted. The neck is sweet and fast to play, all the fret edges were nice and smooth. The strings were even still good, lol. This Bass will be my primary from now on, until I upgrade and get the Studio model, lol.
