Im still kicking myself for not grabbing a 5 string Schecter bass that I found cheap in a pawn. That was a nice bass I should have grabbed up.
Two of the greatest basses I ever owned were cheapies. One was a Yamaha. I switched the pick-ups and wiring and it was magnificent. The other an Aria Pro, which I also switched out the pick-ups and wiring. It was my fav. The action was lower than any I've seen.
Those are both nice makes on the cheaper end. Haven't owned one myself but friends have and I liked them both. I'm thinking of a new bass, maybe.
It was a while back but I saw some Aria Pros on Ebay.
i had a carvin 5 string bass which i loved the sound of it but my dexterity went down big time compared to 4 string. I suspect schecter has a thinner neck profile though.
I've never liked schecter basses. I like their guitars, but the basses not so much. I've never come across a good schecter bass. All mediocre.
I feel the same about their guitars. Just never liked them.
thanks for the tip!
Bought myself a nice 5 string schecter with active emgs For Christmas. FUCKING LOVE IT!! Can’t say that enough. Sounds epic through my Mark Bass combo... First 5 string..l was using a 4 LTD neck-through- which I love- but holy shit ! Can’t believe I didn’t switch years ago...
