Of caurse you can't even compare this bass to a spector unless it's their cheaper line like the classic models. But to be honest. I had to choose between selling this bass and a Spector Rebop five string. I chose to sell the Spector. This bass I have had for over three years now and I haven't stopped loving it. I prefer it over the spector in every way besides some tones you can get out of the Spector. The neck is great and slick easy to move around on. The electronics I never use the cut on. I don't see why anyone would. It's punchy and really good for slap bass. Also the action can be very low and great for tapping. It is active and I only wish that i was easier to put the batterys in it. Sometimes it's awkward. It is an amazing bass for the price to.Probably the best in it's category.

I love this bass's tone and looks, but i'm not completely satisfied.

First of all, i find that the electonics produce some pops and cracks in the background. It's not that bad, but it gets annoying. Second, it's slightly neck heavy due to it's extra longscale neck. Third, when it came in last year when i bought it, there were some issues with the truss rods, fret corrosion, and a couple minor blemishes that required a trip to the tech.

Schecter puts together a good guitar, though. The tone is great, i love the sound especially after running it though a BBE sonic maximizer (well, what doesn't sound better with a sonic maximizer?). The hardware is top notch, great bridge and tuners plus no jack problems. the neck is very well made and fast especially for a wooden 6 string, very few problems other than a reduction in sustain around the 7th fret on the G and C strings, which isn't a problem when playing fast (which i usually am).

I like this guitar a lot, i just wish it were balenced right and didn't have the pops. It would be a great find without those problems

I've had this bass for about 3 and a half years now, and I love it just as much now as the day I bought it. The tone is great, the pickups are some of the best standard pickups I've heard on a bass in this price range, and you simply can't beat the range on it. Not only the best six-string for the money, but one of the best basses all-around for the money.

For the past week I'd been waiting for this bass in the mail, and finally, after a couple bursts of insanity waiting for it, the UPS guy dropped it off, and I must say, I was in no way disappointed.

The B and E strings were set a little bit low, but that was fixed simply with a few twists of the wrench. Otherwise, I find the tone and hum of the instrument absolutely incredible, the low B growls with a vigor found on more expensive basses, and it's mid-high range is dead flawless. The active EMGs are a major boon, and I wouldn't trade them for anything else!

The physical appearance of the Schecter is nothing short of gorgeous either. A perfect finish, not a scratch or dent to be found.

This is the epitome of South Korean instrumental engineering...if you need a 6-string, this is the first place I'd certainly look!

I have have been a bass player for 24 years and a musician for most of my life. I have a 76 fender jazz that I have gigged with for 20+ years and as far as I am concerned it is about the best bass I have ever laid my hands on (within reason) so the Schecter Stiletto Studio-6 had big shoes to fill. The neck has a great feel. This is my first neck-through. It is perfectly set for slapping and tapping. The emg pickups are hot and the tuners are tight. For all the features this bass has it is about the best buy I have seen.
