Another American guitar and bass guitar brand is Schecter, which has been manufacturing guitars since the late 1970s. Schecter is known for it’s high quality products, which is really what led them to make Schecter bass guitars in the first place since they started out as a guitar parts manufacturer. After exclusively making parts for major companies like Fender and Gibson for a few years, Schecter began to put together their own guitars using their own parts.
Schecter’s high level of quality and craftsmanship has continued until today. They offer a decent variety of high-end bass guitars and they even accept Custom Shop orders through Schecter authorized dealers. Their modern bass guitars are extremely popular among experienced musicians, which is a result of high quality products that they produce.
An example of their attention to detail involves the Schecter Stiletto Studio 5 string bass guitar. A common complaint among experienced musicians is a floppy B-string that is a result of a shorter scale length. This bass model extends the scale to 35″ to make a tight B-string that resonates nicely. It’s minor details like this that really make their bass guitars stand out from the competition and appeal to professional bassists.
If you’re searching for a high-end bass guitar that is actually worth the price tag, Schecter won’t let you down. Since their basses are made with high quality materials, parts and electronics, there is one downside to their bass guitars that you may notice when you play one – they are a bit on the heavy side. Some people may be after a light bass guitar, but the best sounding basses are going to be heavy because of how they are made.
