what's blemished?

Blemished

This is typically a customer return. This inventory includes all parts, components, manuals (hard copy or downloadable) and the full factory warranty. It is guaranteed to work perfectly, but it has a cosmetic blemish. It may be less attractive than Warehouse Resealed inventory, but it's priced even lower! This inventory is a great value.

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.

"Smoothest bass I've played"

This is perhaps the most comfortable 5 string I've ever played. The 35" scale helps me because I tune down to Drop A. Although it is a bit heavier than it looks, it is not akward to hold or play. The neck doesn't vary much from the top to the bottom and the neck through body makes the high notes easy to reach. Much better than similarly priced models such as the ESP B-305 or Ibanez Ergodyne 705. Very asthetically pleasing too. Highly Recommended.

Submitted: 9/6/2002

Style of Music: Low tuned. Heavy rock, similar to Staind and Taproot.
