Schecter Guitar Research

collapse expand iconDescription

With classic looks and modern feel, the 2015 Schecter Model-T Session covers all spectrums of tone with a healthy dose of vintage vibe. The Model-T Session was fine-tuned from the ground up starting with the wood selection to electronics and precisely choosing the right pickup to compliment the wood tones.

Starting with the active EMG pickups, the bridge & neck are the EMG J and P. Developed for the bassist who needs versatility and range in their sound. The P adds warmth, and incredible low end punch, while the LJ gives tight mid-range punch and dynamic high end response for a well defined attack. The result is the capacity to produce everything from tight slap funk to smooth Motown groove, all with a sound that will set you apart.

Schecter took these wiring features and then added the EMG 2-Band Active EQ with 18v system for even more tone shaping versatility. This enables the player to add or subtract EQ at center frequencies voiced specifically for electric bass. The lows are deep, clear, and tight. There are two treble ˜dip switch' frequency centers to choose from. The lower setting is perfect for adding growl and bite to traditional P and J tones. The higher setting provides crystal clear top end to modern-sounding, full-frequency bass tones with punishing clarity without any brittleness.

After they got the electronics tricked out, they worked on the construction of the bass.

The bolt-on neck joint was reshaped and contoured for smoother access to the higher frets. The neck is bolted down with 6 bolts for a stronger neck/body bond. Carbon fiber reinforcement rods are used in the neck to strengthen the neck relief and preventing any neck shifting. The fretboard features a 12" radius adding a modern roundness to the feel. Precision and durability with classic styling make the Grover 142 series ˜vintage' bass tuners bass machine heads ideal for a vintage look and modern functions. The die cast housing is a sturdy foundation for maintaining center lines of the worm and gear. A fixed bearing surface in the housing creates a smooth tuning surface for easy tuning and 22:1 gear ratio. The safety string post and "elephant ear" button provide utility and a vintage look.

    I just got mine today and I am absolutely loving it. One thing I noticed looking back at the picture guitar center has is that the bass is a lot more vibrant that they show it to be. But I love the tone, the pickups, everything. If you were thinking of getting a bass I would definitely recommend this one.

  • Great sounding bass

    Just picked this up today and I can't put it down! Bass came set up and ready to play out of the box. Fast neck and amazing sound! These EMG pickups give you an awesome range between a P bass and J bass. The active EQ gives you a great punch and more of a alternative rock sound. I own fenders but this by far is the best sounding. Pictures don't do this beaut justice, amazing look in person.

  • BEAST MODE!!

    just bought one yesterday from guitar center. very happy with it. only thing I did was put on some new daddario nyxl 45-105 strings on it. didn't need any set up whatsoever string action very low, intonation set etc.. this is definitely a keeper!! quite versatile for all genres of music. the on board emg preamp is a beast. this bass im telling you all needs absolutely nothing just maybe your strings of choice. money very well spent. in fact im even considering getting a 5 string as well. feel and playability of this bass is nothing short of awesome.

  • Always Fenders for me.............until.

    I am a Fender guy, have a American P bass deluxe, a MIM Geddy Lee. I bought this tio try because of the similarity to a old p bass. Got in natural with the all black hardware. What a surprise when I started playing it, great feel out of the box, great look, the EMGs kick. It is a flat finish, flat pickguard and just feels right when you hold it. Sounds great through my Ampeg portaflex. Def a keeper!

    I’m sorry, but no. All basses vary depending on the density of the wood. Even the same model can vary up to 1.5 lbs Manufacturers usually only spec size and type of wood. Bass Guitars are generally between 8.00 and 10.00 lbs. The only way to know the weight of an individual instrument is to weigh it. This will be approximately 8.0 – 9.5 lbs. This will be about 8.5 lbs
