👆 Welcome to our All About The Bass on Andertons TV.
Nathan and Lee look at 5 Schecter basses, the Model-T, the Omen Extreme-4, the Diamond-J 5 string, the Stiletto-4 FL fretless and the Nikki Sixx signature bass.

They are using a Ashdown Rootmaster head and 2 cabs.
If you guys ever stop doing this series I'm gonna....do nothing, because I'm not a psycho..But I DO really enjoy and appreciate them. Nathan's playing is amazing and you two are hilarious. THANKS.
nice comment ....
Fun fact: Stone Temple Pilots bass player Robert DeLeo actually designed the Model T. He built the first prototypes himself while working at L.A.’s Sunset Custom, which later became Schecter Guitar Research.
Wow man hes how I found out about this model thanx for sharing that that's amazing I know its 3 years later lmao
@@ixa-3140 xD
LarsSoderberg I have one signed by him!
damn, 4 years later the knowledge is still reaching people. I hope you're still alive and well, internet stranger
@@DizzyCGA haha!
When I first started playing bass my guitar center had a slightly used omen extreme in yellow sunburst right In me price range and I couldn’t believe how beautiful it was. A few years later and getting better at my craft I love this bass even more now. For an intermediate or beginner player it’s perfect
Oh man I've been using my red Omen Extreme for 14 years and it's still wonderful.
Literally just bought an omen extreme 5 string bass today and I’m planning to grow with it so reading both of you all’s comments makes me so happy!
The actual fretted Stiletto has a great sound and real good deep rumble too a growl. They are actually really nice bass guitars.
In design, but it doubles as a slap and Jazz really. Hell, it does it all.
The first bass shown kills Fenders, old and new. Shows that Schecter doesn't care about marketing ,which is actually good for the informed buyer; you get a great bang for the buck! Don't follow those type of people who try to justify their terrible purchases and tell you that it is a sub $1000 guitar and so it can't be perfect. After this level of an instrument, it is only you yourself who you have to invest in more!
I've had my Schecter Diamond Series 004 for over 10 years. Always gets compliments and still sounds as good as the day I bought it.
EMG pickups ?
@@realnewyorkstyle yeah. EMG-HZ
Nathan is the kind of dude that you want to drink beer with while he struggles to play fretless bass ;)
I have a Schecter Stiletto Studio 8. It came set up from the factory, and it is amazing.
I highly recommend them.
Luke Boland I had a stilleto 4 string extreme and it was everything a metal player like myself could ask for in a bass
I'm impatiently waiting for my tax return so I can buy the Schecter Stiletto Studio 5 fretless!
Yep, Stiletto basically makes a joke out of my old J bass. Never will I buy another Fender again.
That Model T sounds amazing . I gotta get one .
Have you got one? I really want to buy it, do you recommend it?
@@matteolaffranchini181 yes get it, i have one
Yes. Someone stole mine. I’d give anything to have it back.
last year I ventured into the bass realm with a Schecter 5 string Riot ( like a stiletto but body is cut out a little different), and I absolutely love it.
Thanks guys great fun review, just saw this now - 8 years later !
It'd be rad if you put timestamps for each of the basses you discuss in you video description =)
Still using my Stiletto Studio 4 and love it!
They have a unique look and a decent sound!
This company bass lines are very underrated..I own them and they beat any Fender, Musicman, or any well known basses I have used to own and played
18:11 You're never gonna see that again
Schecter basses are underrated for their price range. I feel the "Made in Indonesia" basses like Ibanez and some Schecters get a bad rep but they are great quality.
I have an Omen 4 and it's a great bass for the $400 range. I also have an Ibanez EDA905 and I've always found that they do make some really low end junk, but really anything over a 700 series is going to be a really solid bass.
My Diamond series guitar has served me well
The fretless playing sounded beautiful
Not sure about the bass versions but the Duncan Quarter Pounder guitar pickups are available in coil tapable versions, meaning you can select the full windings/output or reduced windings/output.
I bought a model t session recently. Absolutely amazing
Hey, do you still use the Model T Session? How does it play, is the neck easy to play on? Does it sound good?
@@fhodngodfn it plays amazing
I'm a guitarist, but I got a Schecter C-5 Custom bass a while back because I saw it on clearance and couldn't pass up the ridiculous price. It's super nice, good build quality. Looks and plays greats. I'm not super experienced with bass guitars, but judging by my Schecter, I wouldn't have any problems recommending them for someone looking in the intermediate price range.
Played with a guy for years who played a Stiletto 5-string as his number one. It was a monster and sounded great. Scale was longer than 34" and the B was a telephone cable.
Have a P-4 exotic and love it, it's roasted maple neck is awesome
I bought a schecter stiletto extreme 5 (fretted) and it is a dream
+CaptAnderton The “out of phase” sounds on the Schecter Diamond-J 5 are indeed out of phase: speaking in terms of electrical phase, not temporal phase (as in PA speaker alignment). The phase reversal switch reverses the flow of electrons through the reversed pickup's coil, thus mimicking the first half of RWRP (Reverse Wind, Reverse Polarity): the missing second half (i.e. the fact that the pickups' polarities match) is why the effect sounds more like Peter Green than a Strat. A Strat's 2 and 4 positions get their characteristic sound not from the RWRP middle pickup, but rather comb filtering (as the pickups' positions put them out of temporal phase with one another) and the output reduction of connecting the pickups in parallel (their inductance and resistance is reduced, meanwhile their capacitance is increased).
Fell in love with Schecters when I bought a used Hellraiser Extreme-4. Looks and sounds absolutely wicked.
There are so few well made videos featuring the Model T Session bass.... This one really made a huge difference in showing its capabilities. Well done. 👍🏻
Omen extreme 7 string in see thru red is the best looking. Same for the bass version always get red or blue w full body binding. Get the extreme only unless you want black get your model, like omen or damien in stealth. Stealth bass models come w a huge humbucker and also a p bass in neck.
Would be great to see some "Warwick" basses featured here.
Look for a warwick site douche
@@timkohn7770 I appreciate the 4 year old bump 👍
@EverythingisFire what about 4 years and 5 months?
I just got the omen, seeing some videos on people who can really play on it. Love it
Man, I have got to get one of these. I sold my old 51 reissue a few months ago and miss it. I think this is a great bass.
Love the videos and love watching Nathan play the bass... even the fretless :p
@the andertons staff, I just wanted to say what a brilliant team and a brilliant store you have in Guildford. I came all the way from Swindon to buy the Kurt Cobain mustang when it first came out and again a few years later I came back to buy some great effects pedals. I've been to a lot of music stores in the south west and I can confidently say that you trump them all! I only wish I could visit the store more often but hopefully I will be back again in the near to buy my first chapman guitar. Thanks to all the great people at andertons.
That's great to hear - cheers man!
never really considered Sheckter basses till this vid...
also like the idea of the 1/4lb pickup option for my Jazz bass... cheers chaps.
The model t is just damn unique and feels amazing to play. There's one at my local and.......I just pray I can buy it one day.
I'd love to have one of those Diamond J
coil tap is when they tap in the middle of the winds (thus it can be on a single coil), giving you a sound of less winds. Sprint is when you "split" the Humbucking coils.
The Model T actually looks badass!
You guys are hilarious! I was cracking up watching you. Im looking to buy a Schecter bass and l definitely feel good about my decision now...def getting red!!🤩🇹🇷
I still like my Schecter Diamond Elite 4, & also had at one time an Elite 5. Bought them both used for about $300 each. Great Bass with a mid level price.
I own 4 Schecter basses and have had 6 total.....I currently have an Omen4, C4 XXX, C4 SGR, and the Dale Stewart Model........Love the Schecter product
Terry Hudgens How's the SGR? Looking at getting a 5 string version of it
Out of all of my schecters the SGR is my least favorite due to having just passive pickups
I own a schecter Sixx model. I love it only complain it next drives SO bad can can not let go of that neck. I'm used to my Fender P bass so it takes a bit of time to get used to it. But very nice to play.
Should have demoed the Simon Gallup sig. That bass is awesome.
You can tap a single coil (at least on a guitar). The SD quarter pound are made to be tapped. They are wound in such a way that you are able to access either all the winds or a smaller portion of those winds. You should have Seymour on to help you understand this concept. A tap is not a coil split (which is what I believe Lee is thinking of).
+Don Thorvund Like many guitarists, particularly those in the UK, Captain Lee commonly misuses the term “coil tap.”
+Robstafarian I don't think that is limited to the UK. There is a different between "tap" and "split". In other videos, he seems to state that he gets it, and then flubs it on other videos. BTW, I have a Seymour Duncan Quarter Pound in the bridge of a Tele and it is a vicious pickup (in a great way), however, when tapped, it does an amazing impression of a vintage Tele Bridge pickup. Lots of options.
Don Thorvund I did not say that it is limited to the UK: I said it is particularly common among UK guitarists. For as much as I like tapped single coils as a design, I have never used one.
***** I hope you get a chance to try one, you might like it!
"if you dont know what flatwound strings are..." they're feckin' amazing and thats all there is to it.
This is my all time favorite music hear TH-cam channel. The quality of all the content is amazing
Nate getting that Mick Karn vibe on the fretless.
Love the series. Keep it up
Funny to see an Andertons video about Schecter basses appear a couple of days after I buy a Schecter bass from Andertons.
Interesting about the incorrect tag on the push-pull. The bass I got was the Diamond J and I've been confused because the push-pull knob doesn't seem to be humbucker/coil-tap. It even says on the Andertons site that it is but the hum is only bucked when both volume knobs are at the same level and that's regardless of the position of the push-pull switch.
I have a custom 4 and an extreme 4, love both, the extreme is my baby though... I love her.
Thanks Andertons! I now have a huge GAS for a diamond J 5! Also, any chance of a pre amp pedal shout out? Would love to see some darkglass, tech 21, MXR & boss etc pitted against each other
I wish I could find a comparison video with the model t 5, CV 5 and the stiletto custom 5
Keep making these videos, and I'll keep watching them ;) Also you should get Scott Devine from Scott's Bass lessons as a guest sometime! Cheers :)
That pure wood grain one is beautiful.
@9:10, you can have a coil tap on a single coil pickup. The clue is in the name! You are simply tapping into the coil at a known point. Schecter did these in the '80s with single coil pickups on their Jazz Bass model back then. You had the hotter output of the full number of turns of the pickup, then maybe a secondary tap 2/3 of the way into the coil. This gives you a lower output and different tone.
That is a sweet sounding bass
Just a Riot 4 Aurora Burst from Anderton's. It's awesome.
That should read 'just got'.
I find that the fretless basses are best when you want to create really atmospheric instrumental music. I’ve heard them used in scores for 80s films, not so much for anything else, though.
I really enjoy watching Nathan and hearing what he has to say. He seems to be the kind of guy that fixes things with a hammer though. "Give that a great smack with this, and it will work!" sort of bloke.
The 5 Jazz is actually a 35" scale rather then the traditional 34". You can hear it in the B string.
The new J-5 has a 4/1 headstock and five neck bolts, and Schecter Monster PU's
Thanks for the bass vids. The views might not be there compared to other videos, but I certainly appreciate it.
Would be cool to see some reviews of darkglass pedals! They're really popular these days!
very cool ! That Model T is a great bass , been wanting one .
Goddamnit, I thought that was a semifretted bass. Got way too excited.
Me too man xD
Thank you so much for making all about the bass videos.
LOVE the schecter model T
I’m just about to save up for one basically like that since I like the 51 p bass look with all the schecter mods
Best reviews hands-down. Just for the entertainment value alone. :)
nicely done.. thanks guys
I would Love to Own one of the Model T's,
Great show ,
Cheers
For the J style bass, it is a coil tap, because you can’t coil split a single coil, you can only split a humbucker into one coil
I played an excellent 4 string bass from this series at The Cat Club on Sunset- 8911 Sunset Hollywood 90069.
It was big and bad ass. Perfect sound . Five star bass. michael t Wyman. fellow TH-camr.
great review. love it. keep up with more all about the bass videos
Is there a chance of Gibson basses review?
+Oswald Cobblepot We wil pass it on. Thank you for watching.
+Oswald Cobblepot there are none, they all dissapeared in 2016
+Andertons Music Co Or some fretless basses ^^. That would be lovely as well! :D
Jestem Genek fuck modern Gibson, I'd rather jam a screw down my cock than she'll out fucking 3000 on an overpriced piece of trash.
@@jordanmayer5932 agreed
Captain can we get a full Schecter Sixx bass review!?
this show reminds me to relax
I got the Schecter Stiletto, and been looking around at the Schecter Bass DIAMOND-P PLU, But Andertons Are more expensive £869 Where Rich Tone are £799
Roy, I also prefer the thin necks on the Stiletto. Easy to play.
That model t is giving me happy feelings! Phwooor!
I bought one recently. Plays like a dream. Worth buying if you have the money
Jacob Griffiths Awesome! Definitely on my list to check out :)
Musicman video. My favorite
Would be nice to hear some semiacoustic or even fully acoustic basses. Guild for expample.
While you are correct that it is a phase push/pull pot of the Bass you demo-ed in this vid, you might be confusing Coil TAPPING with Coil SPLITTING. Coil TAPPING simply lowers the output level of the pickup by bypassing some of the wire turns around the magnets. You can TAP a single coil pickup (especially a high-output one like a Quarter-Pounder by S.D.). Coil SPLITTING turns off one whole side of a 2-coil pickup.
Still waiting for a Yamaha TRBX305 review.
pretty sure the term for 'the pickups working against each other that we usually call out of phase but isn't' is called 'wired in parallel'
It's where one is reverse wound too.
You did a "Best 5 string for under £500" and the Yamaha 305 won. How would either the Schecter Omen 5 or the Stiletto Stealth-5 compare to the Yamaha? Which would win?
This is the first that I have seen of this series. I see you do an Ibanez video too. That’s an instant like and subs for me then.
Just to say I love the idea of the All About The Bass series and ask if you can make a review on the Jackson Kellybird series. I'm interested on buying the 5-string David Ellefson signature, but i'm not sure of the quality i would get out of a £330 bass, as there is not much information about in the internet yet. Cheers.
Nathan really seemed to like the cheap Schecter better. I went and looked it up, and that Schecter Omen series seems to get really good reviews everywhere.
Anyone with a lot more experience with these instruments that can tell me why that is? Is Schecter's low price range just really high end for a cheaper bass? Or are their cheaper basses just straight up better than the high price ones (or so close as to not even really justify the difference)?
Asking because I'm in the market for a new 5-string I can use for stage and studio and the Omen Extreme 5 keeps coming up, even though it's several hundred dollars cheaper than everything it gets reviewed alongside.
The Diamond-J 5'er when in series and out of phase reminds me of a vague Rickenbacker. Am I the only one?
Didn't mike watt have a schecter bass body with active emgs and a 51 p bass neck on hs firegose/minutemen tele bass?
Any chance of reviewing the Schecter California Vintage guitars? :D
Just guessing, but i reckon Nathon enjoyed t omen over t first 2.
I was hoping you'd have checked out the diamond P plus. Either way great video as always!
Model T is beast.
PJ combo pickups are great. I don't understand why anyone would want only P or J pups.
I was expecting a cover of all about that base by megan trainor (idk her name)
How do you see a Schecter Omen Extreme 4 for a beginner? How reliable are they? do they stay in tune? what amp would you pair with it?
Son of the great Mark King. What a heritage. :-)
Nope.. Nathan is Mark's younger brother. Darcy is Mark's son...
Thought dude slayed that fretless
I'm surprised you didn't do their Hellraiser Extreme models as well since those are the best ones (IMO)
Thanks for this. Been trying to decide on fender mim 70s jb or the fender aerodyne jb. But since seeing this review I'm leaning toward one of these. Seems I'd get more in way of upgrades for similar money. Any advice on this welcome. Thanks.
How about looking at some effect pedals in an up coming 'All about the bass'
