I have a Custom Stiletto 5 in natural maple as second bass to a Fender Lyte. The Schecter is great to play, good low action, great active tone variation, and not much heavier than the Lyte. Also quite a lot of wow factor from the looks. And then there is the two full octaves which take some getting used to. From my fairly limited experience, a good neck if you like them slim and shallow. The golden rule must be find one and try it, thats the ultimate test to see if its right for you; that's also the problem because there are not that many about. Good hunting
