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.

"Simply the Best"
Feature:
This bass comes ready even for the gear snobs. Good pickups by EMG, great woods. The tuners are a lil weak, but the do stay in tune, so all in all not too bad. My one big draw back is the finish it looks great, but it is are for me to keep it looking good, it scratches easy
Quality:
IMHO you would have to spend about $1000.00 more to get the same quality as this bass. I call it a poor mans Spector, because it has all the qualities of a Spector, with more than half the price.
Value:
IMHO this bass is not worth what they ask for it, it is worth more, but heck I love the price.
Desirability:
When I first saw this bass i was like, dayum thats a good looking bass, but when I heard it I was like dayuuuuum, now when I play ppl are like WTF. Thants right I don't want it I got it. cry two tears in a bucket, MF it.
Sound:
This bass sound great, gives me almost everything i want in tone. One of the best basses I've ever owned
Ease of Use:
I traded a Ibanez BTB405q for this, and i went from the rack to the stage with this bass. Now I ask is that easy or what.
Support:
I've never needed them I've had this bass for over two years.
Overall:
Always and forever
