Ontopic String's and Adi's gear & pedal thread

[pacojas]

i like it , goes clean to dirty pretty good just by touch and its tone is good when the treble is not too high, i think
had to tame the high mids a bit in the mix

thanks, baba
i need some dirt in my tone. been chasing that hi-fi tone for the past 20 years, found it, loved it, and i'm done!

I like it, Adi.
Could be another box to add to my dirt collection.
That will eventually collect dust.

thanks strings baba
i consider it an affordable hoarding

One of the old time rock band my wife and I both like/agree on.

OMG - best excuse ever. I'll be using that one.

Might try one as a headphone amp if I can get it cheap enough.
E-nugg...

Schecter short-scale Banshee. Around $700. Seems pricey for a Schecter.

Agreed/ It's nice looking, I like that pickguard, the slash of wood to the head all look cool imo. But yeah, Schecters have always felt a little lifeless to me. Like a Olds Cutlass with a 4 banger.

The headstock looks good for a nonfender.
Ever since they put a stop to copy cats a lot of "fenderish" copies have ugly headstocks.

I don't know all the different models of Schecters and I've held and played far more guitars of theirs than basses but there's been some that were like holy shit this is nice and worth every bit of $700, or more. Some also were kinda nothing special but totally on par with a mexican fender. Never got ahold of one that was low-grade or anything like that.

Might not be a popular brand or might have a marketing image geared towards the metal crowd or whatever but they're not bad instruments and some of them really good.

I have one. Solid build, good hardware, a little sterile in the pickups.
Twin double jazz soapbars. So not the easiest to swap out. As far as choices go.

I think the build is fine, they just seem to lack zing. I've had 2. I've also sold 2

I’ve had two Schecters, a P5 and a Model T.

The P5, I should’ve kept but I went through a phase of ditching all basses over 32” scale, and it was a 35”. Sold.

The Model T, also sold for the same reason, I would’ve put up against any American Fender P bass. Light also, around 8 lbs.

Ibanez is one of the first major manufacturers to finally introduce a medium scale five string tuned B-G. If my spare nickels weren’t all going towards medical bills, they’d be going into a jar for one of these. In black, of course.
