Schecter Stiletto Elite 5 Customer Review

Feature:
I like the big strap buttons - no real need for strap locks. The tuners work well, and are just touchy enough to not make you angry while dialing in an intonation reset. Pickups are great. Fretboard is nice and skinny, the fretwork is very well done, the top position markers are easily seen, and the thru-neck is butter the whole way to fret 24. Gold work sucks...plain and simple. Not this guitar's fault...all gold work sucks. It wears off and looks like crap. I also wish Schecter would put an active/passive switch on it. (Im nitpicking now)

Quality:
After over a year of owning this and carting around an extra bass to gigs, I got rid of my extra. I literally own one 5 string now - and I don't need another.

Value:
Buy it. Period.

Desirability:
Feels great. Top horn not intrusive and lines up well with fret 12. Looks great...though not very "metal" when playing around guys with Jackson V's and Explorers. Oh well, I still look and sound better than the Fender guys!

Sound:
The wood is nice and resonant...yeah, I know, Warwick is the "wood" bass...try this one anyway. The controls are versatile enough to get it to sound just about any way you want. I can get the "Pete Way Thunderbird" sound, then twiddle the eq knobs and get that Warwick sex-growl or even the old Ric "bwoom" thump-twang. I use it with a Hartke 3500 Head and VX 215 cab for all occasions - no pedals or signal altering crap other than an old Sonic Maximizer. You can keep your fancy rack for aesthetic purposes, but you won't really need to plug anything in. No reason to spend more money on a lesser instrument...

Ease of Use:
See above.

Support:
I'll say 10 but never had to use them.

"Schecter Stiletto elite 5 is a gift from God"

Feature:
Every item on this bass ironically is "elite." I can't deny the fact that I am jealous that it looks better and sounds better than me. Everything about it, down to the smallest splinter of wood, is perfection.

Quality:
I will say it again in different categories. Perfection. It looks and sounds the exact same. Beautiful . It just gives me everything I ever wanted and needed. Any gig you have, this bass is easy to get together and play any style you need. It is elite, it is perfection, it is the stiletto elite 5. Thats all that needs to be said. I give more praise to Schecter.

Value:
The price is a steal. Why pay 1000 or more for a warwick when you can get this for only 600-700. This competes with any other bass I have put it up against. Warwich is great, Schecter elite 5 is better.

Desirability:
If this bass were bangable, I would abng it. It is sexy and smooth, both in it's sounds and looks. I drool when I pick it up.

Sound:
This bass has some serious response. I can't belive the sound I get outta this thing. It pumps the blues, it swings the jazz, and it beats the rap. Anything you need to play, any style, this bass accomplishes. For the price and the quality, nothing compares or adds up to this perfect and beautiful creation of God. I give praise to it's makers, Schecter.

Support:
I dont even need to call them. The Bass takes care of itself. If I ever need to, I believe that someone who makes a bass like this, doesn't need to be consulted.

Overall:
My life, and for all eternity will this bass inherit. I dont need to look for any other bass, and I have no reason to. For this price and quality, I am satisfied.
