I've owned Schecter basses in the past, but this one caught my eye hanging on the rack. The looks, feel, and playability are all high-end on this guitar, from the beautiful flamed-maple top, solid maple neck & rosewood fretboard, to the active pickups & controls. I'm always astounded at the quality Schecter delivers in their instruments for the inexpensive price paid - I've always found their basses to be true bargains. I bought this bass as a second/backup instrument, but after playing it for a short time, it has become my main axe - I would be proud to play it anywhere!
I needed a 4-string to go along with the 5-string that I play most of the time. The looks of this guitar actually caught my attention first. The flamed maple top and color of the finish are beautiful. Then I played it, and I found that these Diamond pickups have a much greater range of tone than any P or J configuration I had tried before. The active EQ has a bit higher output, so it's possible to drive the tube preamp in my rig without using a separate preamp. Center detents on the bass, treble, and blend pots are a nice touch, enabling you to figure out how they are set without looking (handy on stage). The Mahogany body is fairly light, and adds a nice warmth to the tone. Actually, the bridge pickup sounds a bit thin to me, but that still fits my style, as I tend to lean more on the neck pickup, and pluck up near the neck joint most of the time. Speaking of the neck joint; short of buying a guitar with neck-through construction, the robust 6-bolt neck of the Schecter is the next best thing. There are no dead spots in the neck, and sustain is nearly the equivalent of a neck-through. I'm sure that I'm going to enjoy this guitar for a long time.
Although I am a novice bass player, I have had many guitars throughout the years. In my search for a reasonably priced bass that I would not quickly get tired of and want something better, I went for the mid-range price. I immediately fell in love with the looks of this bass and the way it felt in my hands was immediately familiar. The range of sound that comes out of this Omen Extreme 4 is incredible. I can dial in almost any sound. I now have two Fender Amplifiers and even my little Fender 15W Rumble makes this Schecter sound great. Interestingly, after owning this bass for about 9 months, I began to feel like I wanted to upgrade. I was pretty set on going with an American Made Fender Jazz Bass. But after playing several Fenders and even the MIM and Squier models, I realized I really prefer the feel, action and sound of this Schecter over all the other Fenders. Maybe someday, if I can play well enough, I will just upgrade to a better Schecter. However, I think I will be happy with this beauty for a long time, and save a few dollars along the way. In my opinion, you cannot go wrong with this model and brand.
