Yeah, a new one will be here on Monday. I hope whoever is sending these things out realizes their error.
It's a gorgeous bass, the neck feels nice and small and fast for a 5er, but the electronics didn't even work
so I couldn't even tinker with it.

That's awesome that they're replacing it so that you don't miss out on the great deal just because of their negligence.

So, the new bass arrived a couple days ago and I'm just getting around to playing it.
Like my other two Schecters, it's built very well and sounds great. I get a lot of tones
out of this bass and it plays naturally, for a bassist with 15 or so basses and only one
five string. I'm very happy with this bass, especially for what I payed for it.

It did arrive in perfect condition, but with one of the knobs off. I had to screw it back on.

Agreed! I am glad you like it and got a great deal on it!

A couple photos. I'm very happy with Schecter's products.

Pete, eyeing one: how is the CV-4 pictured on the background?

That bass looks mean as hell.

I'm just having a bit of a sad over the lack of lefties in Schecter's 2017 basses :(

I feel like I've been sort of a snob with Indonesian-built instruments, but now owning three Indonesian-built Schecters,
I'm really impressed with the build quality, playability and tones. Not only do I recommend them, but I would seriously
consider an American-made instrument from them.

It seems like they're not building any? That doesn't seem right...
