Schecter Studio 8 String Bass
Here is a little copy from American Musical Supply-After I played one-I bought one Wow!
Schecter Stiletto Studio 8 String Bass Guitar (Honey Satin)
We have never sold a bass that sounds as huge as this incredibly affordable 8-string. Often only available as a custom shop bass, the 8-string's double octave design produces its own wall of sound. The 8-string is a neck-thru beauty with a mahogany/exotic bubinga body, finished in a Natural Honey Satin. The Studio is armed with EMG HZ pickups, with a mid control on its 18-volt 3-band EQ. Other features include satin gold Grover tuners, a maple/walnut neck and a 24 medium frets on its rosewood fingerboard.

Q: Can I order a guitar or bass directly from Schecter?
A: We do not offer any direct sales, all of our instruments must be purchased through an authorized Schecter dealer. Any authorized Schecter dealer can order any of our models for you. A complete list of authorized dealers is available on our website: click on Find A Dealer.
Q: I would like to buy a Prince ´Cloud´ guitar. How much are they, and how do I order one?
A: The Prince ´Cloud guitars´ (and the ´Symbol´ guitar, as well) are made under an exclusive agreement with Prince and Paisley Park, and are only available through Prince´s website and at his live shows. We do not offer them in any form anywhere else, and, per our agreement, will not use any of their features in the construction of other guitars!
Q: Is Schecter Guitar affiliated with ESP guitars??
A: F*ck No!
Q: I did not receive a warranty card or manual with my new Schecter guitar. How do I get these? Can I register my guitar online?
A: All the information for each of our guitars and basses is listed on our website. We send a warranty card out with every instrument, but it doesn´t always get to you, the end-user; this is also why we stopped sending out manuals! As long as you retain your original sales receipt with the purchase date and serial number on it, you are covered by our Limited Lifetime Warranty. We do not offer online registration, as a means of protecting our customers.
Q: How can I date my old (pre ´89) Schecter guitar?
A: Due to Schecter´s beginnings as a ´replacement part´ company, there are many bootlegged Schecter guitars on the market. The company is now and has been owned by a new owner since 1989 (when the company was moved back to California from Dallas, Texas). These guitars can be dated by serial number. We would be happy to attempt to date your instrument, but you will need to mail photos and a description to us. Please make sure to photograph the headstock (front & back) and the neck plate. No guarantee, but we will try!
Q: What brand & gauge strings are used on my Diamond Series instrument?
A: All Diamond Series electric guitars come factory installed with GHS Boomers. 10/13/17/26/36/46(56).
Our 7-String guitars electrics use a .056 as the low ´B´. Please see our special strings (link) for A-5X , C-5X, SCORPION and SCORPION BASS gauges and specs.
Extended Scale guitars: We use GHS Boomers gauges 13,17,28w,38,48,62.
Hellcat VI: Setup with SIT Power Steel stainless gauges 25,35,45,55,75,95.
These strings, as well as several 7-String sets, are available from your authorized Schecter dealer. If you cannot find them, contact us!
Basses:
Four strings: We install Elixir Nanoweb four string Med XLong scale sets which are .045, .065, .085, and .105. (#14087)
Five strings: We install Elixir Nanoweb five string Med XLong scale sets which are .045, .065, .085, .105, and .130TW.(Taper Wound) (#14304)
Q: What are DUNCAN DESIGNED humbuckers?
A: Duncan Design pickups are manufactured by an outside factory to the exact specifications and manufacturing methods of Seymour Duncan. Unlike some ´import´ pickups, the DUNCAN DESIGNED pickups use Alnico magnets (for warmth & tone) and are 4-conductor, which means that ANY Diamond Series guitar can have an ´after-market´ mini toggle or push-pull pot added for ´splitting´ the humbucker for a cleaner, single-coil tone. Note: If this is done by a qualified repair technician, it will NOT void your warranty! As far as the sound, let your ears decide, but the models we use are 95% identical to the JB and ´59 !
Q: I would like to order a Custom Shop instrument. What is the best way to do this?
A: Please visit our Custom Shop website´s Products section, and click on ´Custom Order Form´. Here, you can ´build´ your dream guitar or bass and email or fax us the specifications. We will email or fax back a list price and ETA (usually about 6 months). Ultimately, you must order through an authorized Schecter dealer; by filling out an order form first, you can walk into your local dealer with most of the information you need. Please note that our Custom Shop instruments are HANDMADE to order. They take a little longer, but they are worth the wait. (Ask anbody who owns one!)
Q: Where are Schecter guitars and basses made?
A: Our Diamond Series guitars and basses are manufactured in South Korea(unless otherwise specified on the guitar), and 100% set up in the USA, in our Burbank, CA facility. Our Custom Shop guitars and basses are 100% handmade here in Burbank.
