mikebass84 Posted May 21, 2014 Share Posted May 21, 2014 I recently came into some unexpected money so i decided I would get a new bass. Spent a few hours in Brum with a £400 budget. Tried guitarguiar first and saw a lovely LTD. Then headed over to PMT where i ended up buying a Schecter Diamond Series Custom 5. Such a beauty.Nice smooth neck. YlGreat Tone. Plays like a dream Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mikebass84 Posted May 21, 2014 Author Share Posted May 21, 2014 Been playing her all night and wow! Had to slightly raise the saddles as I was getting a tiny bit of fret buzz but just wow. Plays so nice and sounds fantastic. The low B(which I tune to A) really kicks you in the chest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dmccombe7 Posted May 22, 2014 Share Posted May 22, 2014 Tried a schecter last year and was quite impressed. That is a nice looker you have there. Enjoy. Dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikebass84 Posted May 22, 2014 Author Share Posted May 22, 2014 I would also like to add that the customer service I received while in PMT was just amazing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
megallica Posted May 22, 2014 Share Posted May 22, 2014 Was this bass second hand? I owned one of these custom 5 basses about four years ago and havent seen any around recently. Congrats on the new bass. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KevB Posted May 22, 2014 Share Posted May 22, 2014 I had a C4 in antique amber for a while, lovely finish and very lightweight and playable. The tone was just a bit too 'polite' for my liking so eventually I moved it on for about what I paid for it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] I was told that pmt had it ordered in for a custom who decided he didn't like it so pretty much brand new. Looks like it's hardly been touched so if it is 2nd hand it had a very good owner Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
visog Posted May 22, 2014 Share Posted May 22, 2014 These have got quite a rep in terms of 'bang for buck'... Is this a through-neck? £400 is a good price. Enjoy it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
