I have a Schecter Stiletto Extreme 4. Just under $500. Killer bass. Works well for playing metal as well. I run the bridge wide open, neck at half and everything else maxed. For an affordable entry level bass, I highly recommend Schecter.

That's a very cool-looking bass!!! The tone of this bass would be to have more punch, growl, and bite with round wound strings!!!! I miss my Stiletto 4-string with EMGs!!!

Thanks for suggesting the DC-40s for my bass. For those who don't know I sent my custom 6 string to Johnny. He did an incredible Job...like he said "DC-40s with the right pre amp get that Smith sound." See the video - SONIC PILOT 6

From the shecter website, if that bass has EMG pickups, that preamp is also EMG. I have a shecter 6 my self, it has a 2 band eq (emg) and a 35 scale length, a good sounding bass.

Schecter needs to make you their endorser xD I've stumbled upon your past Stiletto reviews and those convinced me that buying Studio-5 is a good idea!

I love my Schecter stealth-5, the most comfortable bass I've had for sure. Just a bit worried because I already have neck dive on that without the extra string haha.

I would've probably owned one of these basses. Unfortunately 35" scale basses are a little difficult for me to play(short arms and small hands). But the tone is killing tho.

Awesome clip, Johnny 😎🤘🏻🎸 I too love schecter basses too. I own a stiletto extreme 5-string for years and it is one of my most treasured basses. This schecter bass sounds phenomenal. I once bought a 6-string bass before to experiment with one and came to a conclusion that it’s not for me. So since then, I stick with 5-string basses. Other than that, this is a great sounding bass.

This video makes me happy i did the right ting. Couple of weeks ago, i ordered a used Schecter Stiletto Studio 4 from Japan to me in Norway. I payed $430 shipping included. The bass is in good condition. A bit patina on tuners, bridge and knobs, and the wood and frets are very nice. Me being a new learner to the bass, i bought this bass not knowing about this brand and model. I thought it looked good in honey satin color, neck thru, and gold color hardware, so i took a chance and bought it. Now seeing your cool video where you, a scilled bass player talking good things about this brand and model makes me happy i did a good deal. As i said i'm a new learner, and to me this bass feels comfy to play on, and i think the sound is realy good. This four string model does not have the neckdive problem. Thank you for your funny video. I will subscribe to your channel now.😁

Now , I have the honey satin version. While I can say it is definitely fabulous and I'm happy I got it it's too damn heavy to stand on a gig . Which I knew that. That's why it stays in the studio and I use it for recording when I need a extended range bass...

Informative video Mr.J.. With the Schecter Stilleto Studio 5 that I used to own, I found that not only did it neck dive, but the string spacing was just too difficult to work with. Although the 18volt pre amp & EMG HZ's along with the neck-thru design do make for a terrific sounding bass, I still had to part with it. Some things just can't be "fixed," no matter how many tape weights are added..

My first non El cheapo bass is my Studio 4! It spends most of it's time in the case these days but it'll be my ride or die. I replaced the knock off pre with an Aguilar OBP-3 and the pickups are seymour duncam black outs. SHE THUMPS.

I picked up one of these earlier this year for about half retail. I’ve been thinking about changing the preamp because the bass just seems to sound best with both pickups on full and the eq flat. Do you have any recommendations for what a good preamp for this bass would be? Love the vids, Johnny!

I put a Glockenklang pre in a cheap Harley Benton i have, and it turned the cheap bass into a realy good sounding one. It opened up the sound in the stock pickups, so they became detailed,dynamic and clean sounding. High priced brands uses Glockenclang, and it is build with good quality Wima caps and nice pots. About $110 on Thomann.

Bass sounds awesome! How do you compare the EMG DC to CS/TW?
@basshoh
3 жыл бұрын
So the DC (DUAL COIL) Is probably warmer than the CS (ceramic/steel)....but with a slight less hot level......the TW from what I remember is only available on the MMTW music man sized p/u....hope that helps a little..lol

I would hope the preamp in the Studio models is good enough seeing as they are actually a 3 band EMG preamp!!!....and I'm with you hoss ....I love me some EMG!!!!! I have tried many different p/us and pre amps and for the money ....its HARD to beat the EMG tone!!!!!!!!! I own SEVERAL Schecter basses and my purple studio 4 is SAAAWEEEEET!!!!! Don't buy one of the new Omen Elite basses with the passive J Bucker p/us unless you like a less hot output level !!!!!.....Owned one for about 2 weeks before trading it off AFTER the price went from 800 bucks new for a 5 stringer to 500 bucks for the 5!!!!!! Now y'all KNOW something is up with a certain model of guitar when the factory drops the price on them 2 times and the first drop being a 200 dollar drop!!!!!!!
