Not Playable Out of Box

Product Review
I first want to say that AMS has great service and fast delivery. With that said, I have been wanting this Schecter Custom for some time and finally pulled the plug. When delivered, I was slightly disappointed that the fret buzz was so bad that it wasn’t really playable out of box and needed a setup. After getting it back from guitar tech this bass plays like a dream and sounds fantastic. I love the EMG pickups and preamp, so many tonal options to choose from. Bass looks amazing! Definitely would recommend to a friend.

Product Review
One of the finest bass guitars I've owned for ease of playing and comfort. Already have the flat black Stealth version of the Stiletto, and this one really stands out with the quality of the build. Fit & finish is superb as always with Schecter, and this bass has stunning good looks. Hardware is all satin gold, so easier to maintain. The neck is what really makes this bass a joy to play. Great action! The EMG Hz pickups sound great, and with the EQ you can get whatever sound you want, from overdrive rock to pop and slap. If you're looking for an all around performing bass, don't hesitate - just buy it now.

I love the design of this bass! The stiletto custom 4 is one of the lightest basses in my arsenal. I would definitely recommend this bass to anyone shopping for a 4 string in this price range. Amazing tone and comfort for long sessions.

This bass has outstanding tonal qualities. The action is exceptional. I love the size of the neck for quickness and smoothness. This instrument has met and exceeded my expectations on a wonderful sounding and wonderful looking bass. I highly recommend this bass for the money.

Product Review
I found this bass on ebay. It is a little beat up but that doesn't affect the sound and gives it a little character. I was pleasently surprised by the sound of this bass. I have only played it thru one of my amps (practice amp) so I really can't tell how it will sound thru a bigger amp. But, it sounds GREAT thru my practice amp which usually translates to WONDERFUL into my bigger rigs. It's got some good low end without being muddy and a great hi cut thru type of sound in the highs. Not as snappy as my P=bass but acceptable. Not real versital but what sounds you get are really very useable for most gigs. Overall, one of my favorites..

Good Value in a Fine Bass

The quality is very good for the price. I can quibble a bit about the workmanship on the soldering and the body finish, but where things count -- especially on the neck and fretwork -- it's all done to high standard. One of the pickups fried out after a year, but I'm not convinced it was the fault of the equipment -- I suspect the power source I was using was the problem. Replacement was easy. I've gigged with this bass without a backup with few worries. Now it is my backup bass.
The EMGs have a nice, dark tone. The active pre-amp (master vol, vol of each pup, tone knob) lets you dial in a wide range of tones.
Great for a "modern bass" twin soapbar sound. When I started playing old school soul/R&B, I found it a little too high gain, but threw on some flatwounds with good results.
Heavier feel than a Fender Jazz (my other main axe), but not unpleasant, just different. Good solid feel. Nice, fast neck.
The overall tone is dark, smooth, and balanced. If slap is your primary style, you'll definitely want to run this through a compressor to get a snappier tone.
I found the Natural to have somewhat uneven pinstriping between the dark body and the light top, but overall the finish was even and well applied. Looks great on stage.
The action out of the box was fine. I set it slightly lower to match my personal preference, but as delivered it was set up just fine.
