Hello everyone,

So I sold my Californian made Schecter a while ago and since I already regreted the sale when I sent out the parcel to the buyer I'have always looked for a similar bass to get hold off since that moment.

I know that the instruments made in California were top of the line and to get one nowadays for roughly 1200 USD in good shape would be a very good price.

I read that you have to be carefull with the ones made in Texas, right after the Custom Shop was sold to an investor group in Texas in the mid 80's.

Now I have the chance to get one but since it is a bass that was made in Texas and not California I am not sure about the quality. The serial starting with an A tells me it is Texan made and the headstock tells me that this is one of the very early models and therefore a qualty instrument. But, honestly I am not sure 100%

Unfortunately the pickups are not original anymore (Seymour Duncan) so that's a minus but still i am very much tempted to get it for 1200 USD

Is there someone here who can help me with identifying the "quality level" of this Schecter? Am I correct that this is one of the good ones made in Texas?

Thank you very much in advance
Dan

Hi !

I just wanted to leave feedback.

I received the Sterling super fast and in perfect condition. No problem at all so he definitely is a trustworthy seller/member.

Thanks Yann !

Has this ever been sold ?

"Real" Pics would be nice I guess

What kind of bridge and tuners are used on this Jake ?

Hey,

are you willing to ship within the EU or just within the UK ?

Willing to ship within the EU?

PM'ed you

Maybe it is interesting to you to know that this bass is located in Munich (Germany) now and gets played on a daily basis. It received new frets and new Glockenklang electronics and I love it.

It was reunited with his sister, a white Westone Pantera X390 a while ago

If only the colour would be different .... I just don't like that natural look

I own one of these too. What I extremely like about it is the playability of the neck.

Just a few more information about it:

- 2 piece canadian ash body
- 2 piece maple neck with a thin mahogany veneer between
- rosewood fingerboard
- birds-eye maple veneer on the headstock
- active/passive mode
- 2 Vester L-N humbucker
- was available in red, blue, ocean and black
- price was about 2100 DM (german currency before the €) which was equal to around 1400 USD or 690 GBP back in 1990

I do not know why Esh cooperated with Vester. All I know is that Vester wanted to penetrate the European market much more by cooperating with Esh.

I bought mine for 300 € a while ago including its hardcase and shipping

How would you describe the neck profile ?

I am wondering what makes this Aria Pro so expensive/special ?

Hey !

I found a Charvel 3B in white in a local shop. It looks brand new which is, concerning its age, quite strange. The shop owner told me that the bass has been stored for the past few years. The original Charvel case is included. They ask for ~500 GBP - Do you guys think that this is an adequate price ?

My black RBX800A arrived yesterday. Great quality and I really like the Pickups so far. Any other RBX800A owners in here ?
