Hello,
Funnily enough I bought one of these about 4 weeks ago - I bought it (on impulse) as I was actually looking at a Sadowsky, Lakland (I currently have a Korean Skyline) or Musicman. I am not sure what made me pick the Schecter up but there was no going back.
My first bass (which I gigged with for 15 years or so) was a 1980's Bass Collection and the Schecter reminded me a LOT of that bass.
I am a jazz-funk-soul type player and this bass lets me get a very modern sound - kinda Stuart Zender-ish. I play it through a TC Staccatto 51 Head and two TC RS112 cabs. Its has a very low action (which I haven't adjusted) and is a dream for slap work.
I'm not sure what the natural style for Schecters is (rock/hm - would love to know?) but I love the sounds I get from this baby. I must admit I'm not 100% keen on the looks - its a transparent black "quilted" with a natural wood through neck.
I am based in London so sorry that I can't help with a meetup!
Cheers
Sujay
