HowDidYou Posted June 10, 2014 Share Posted June 10, 2014 This bass is for sale in my favourite music shop,for a really good price. So I'm thinking about getting one. I was never blow away with jazz bass,but this one looks like a great deal. On soundclips it sounds very good. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ojYxviEe4F8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Damonjames Posted June 10, 2014 Share Posted June 10, 2014 I have a schector model T and it is amazing. I would have no hesitation in recommend them as manufacturer, just really depends if you want a jazz I guess! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HowDidYou Posted June 10, 2014 Author Share Posted June 10, 2014 Most of the jazz basses I've played sounded very soft and gentle sounding,and I don't like that. This one sounds a lot different on soundclips. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EliasMooseblaster Posted June 10, 2014 Share Posted June 10, 2014 Another Model T owner here - I haven't tried the Jazz but if it's anything like Schecter's other Fender-alikes it's probably a great instrument. The Model T, for me, was like a halfway step between wanting something better than a MIM Fender but not being able to afford a MIA one!

Damonjames Posted June 10, 2014 Share Posted June 10, 2014 With jazz basses, it all comes down to pickup choice. I agree Mexican jazz basses to me sound quite thin and brittle and uninspiring. I installed dimarzio dp123 jazz pickups in mine and it's a beast. They are humbucking dual coils, and are quite hot, the bridge pickup could almost compete with my quarter pounder p alone Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bakerster135 Posted June 10, 2014 Share Posted June 10, 2014 Robert De Leo (Stone Temple Pilots) uses one [url="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4NoTuWjixJc"]here[/url]. Sounds nice and pretty heavy, when you can hear it!... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cocco Posted June 10, 2014 Share Posted June 10, 2014 I really want one of these too! The price is ridiculous. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UglyDog Posted June 10, 2014 Share Posted June 10, 2014 (edited) Do you like the way it looks? If youve played it, do you like the way it feels and sounds? Is the price good? Can you afford it? If those are mostly/all "yes"s, then yes you do want Schecter Jazz Edited June 10, 2014 by UglyDog Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grassie Posted June 11, 2014 Share Posted June 11, 2014 I'd have one like a shot. Schecter have an excellent reputation for their QC, and I'd choose this over a MIM Fender any day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
discreet Posted June 14, 2014 Share Posted June 14, 2014 I think you probably do. Looks and sounds great and is relatively affordable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gsgbass Posted June 14, 2014 Share Posted June 14, 2014 I couple of players I know using Schecters, really like them. If you like it, go for it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AntLockyer Posted June 14, 2014 Share Posted June 14, 2014 I'd like a Schecter. Always fancied a 7 string guitar from them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
