Great bass, tremendous value

By Daniel Cox

from Sarasota, FL

Comments about Schecter Guitar Research Stiletto Studio-5 Fretless Bass:

I purchased this bass 6 months ago as a 2nd to my fretted 6 string that I gig out with regularly. It has great sound with a nice attack for fretless (often fretless basses have a more "muted" sound-this can definitely cross over to aggressive rock easily with the active EMG pickups). The bass was set up nice out of the box. As to using roundwounds vs. flatwounds, I've always been a strict roundwound player, and I used D'addario Pro Steels on this bass (as I do my fretted bass) with great results. You definitely get some "snake trails," but I have played this bass for at least 200 hours over the past 6 months, and I don't have anything beyond slight cosmetic marks (very faint, only seen in the right light) on the fretboard. Excellent value for this bass as well-you can't beat the price for a neck-through bass with this wood and quality of the electronics.

not much

By MCbass18

from Wollongong, Australia

Comments about Schecter Guitar Research Stiletto Studio-5 Fretless Bass:

The First Thing You notice about this bass, is its stunning looks and odd body shape. It has the look of a Boutique bass, for a fraction of the price.It is Equipped with EMG pickups, the lower models I believe.The Neck was fairly straight and comfortable, string spacing was a bit tight for me personally.Now as for a fretless bass...it doesn't have that JACO TONE that most Players would want in a fretless. I suppose that is due to the Humbuckers rather than Single Coil's. It was still a decent sounding and easily playable bass, and it looks amazing.Its a shame they don't equip them with Flatwounds.With some adjustments, this bass could ROAR.Cheers.

Simply incredible

By Ryan Sartor-Zgscn

from New Orleans, Louisiana

Comments about Schecter Guitar Research Stiletto Studio-5 Fretless Bass:

I played this bass at the Guitar Center in New Orleans, and I must say that it was simply incredible. It was the first fretless I've ever played, and I can imagine that it's also probably one of the best I ever will.First off, it sounds incredible. Even hooked up to just a 15 watt amp, it had awesome tone. I enjoyed playing it a lot, and it's definately very fun. I would recommend it to anyone who is interested, as it is an overall great instrument.

OH MAN THIS IS IT

By tjbassfen

from Metairie, LA

Comments about Schecter Guitar Research Stiletto Studio-5 Fretless Bass:

This bass is a good bass. The lows are low and the highs are high. But (Do not use the strings thay give you,thay will tare up your neck.) Use flat wound strings only.
