It has enough controls to get pretty much any sound your want. Volume, pick select, bass, and treble. It's active electronic with two humbuckers. Made in Korea which mean they are pretty darn tight.

This bass sound rich and full, I'd consider this little dark side, but it's perfect for pop, rock, and church music too. nice well around sound and very versatile.

Action was a bit high when I first got it, and I changed to new set of strings and did minor adjustments. Now it's feels like a part of my body. Finish is flame burgundy, and very shinny. No complaints.

I see this bass goes for years and years of play time. It's sturdy and will not break easy. When I was adjusting truss rod, it responded the way I wanted. Tunners are very smooth and easy to tune, and they stay in tune for days without being detuned more than 3 cents.

Great value for for awesome bass. Well made with versatile sound. Sometimes it fits into music better than Fender Jazz. It's a keeper for a long time.

very good, had ?'s because it was not shown on their website. they responded quickly, answered anything I wanted to know about the bass.
that stuff is important to me, as I use my gear professionally.

Been playing too long, own too much gear, But I needed a low cost bass w/ electronics for top 40 gigs that was comfortable and played well. I found it, after playing everything from usa fenders on down. I own a USA Pbass, and the neck on this particular Schecter is damn near as good. I am very impressed.
