Trades considered! Schecter Sam Bettley Stiletto Bass guitar £650

[WhiteNGold]

Rare to come across in the UK it seems! Sam Bettley of Asking Alexandria released a signature bass with Schecter last year, it's the first Schecter I've seen to sport a Seymour Duncan MM pickup, and boy does this thing not only look awesome, it roars.

Don't be mistaken, it may be a signature bass but this thing thunders. It hasn't got all the regular bumph you get with artist basses with names and logos everywhere, so it's not too recognisable as a signature bass apart from the specs & Sams signature on the headstock.

So here's the spec taken from Schecter:

This really is an awesome bass, nice low action and plays beautifully, the ebony board just makes playing the nice slim satin neck addictive. The electronics really do bring out that proper growl and low end you find in a lot of Stingray basses, but I've also played melodic solo's on this and it just sings, right amount of treble control and right amount of bass. Simple.

Unfortunately however financial situations change and needs amust. This bass in brand new condition apart from a slight dint on the top of the headstock (pictured) which is not at all noticeable on the nice satin finish. And a slight indentation on the body underneath.

I am only open to trade for a Musicman Sterling Bass.

Cheers!
