May 06, 2013 It's hard to tell with Schecters from that era - it looks legit from the Dallas era which was circa 1984-1987ish. I'm going by the 22-fret neck; the Van Nuys era were all 21-fret necks per Tom Anderson (who was a Schecter empolyee from 1977-1984). Jan 3, 2017 - One more UNIQUE Tele' that came out of Van Nuys. The serial number is less than 25 numbers away from Pete's Schecter in the Rock 'n'.
First, I'd like to thank this forum for all the info it has provided in my bass shopping I've been a keyboard player for many years (currently doing the weekend warrior gig thing), a guitar player for a few and a bass player for exactly 5 minutes--unless you count playing Doors tunes with my left hand a few times Our band's bass player also plays sax, and said I could play bass on a couple tunes while he played sax if I wanted to try it. Hey, why not, I'd love to at least give it a shot. Plus I want my kids to learn as many instruments as possible, and to do so it helps to have them around the house! Long story short I found a used USA Schecter for dirt cheap.a Guitar Center (found online) admitted they didn't know what it was and priced it 'aggressively'.
I haven't yet received it so don't have pics yet (or for that matter really know the condition; it looked great and I was told it's in really good condition, we'll see.) It has a single p bass (looking at least) passive pickup and a fender-style headstock. Has a butterscotch-ish semi-translucent finish in the pics I saw. No model, says 'c.e.t.'
In cursive letters. While I was looking for a bass for myself and my son, I'll admit to wanting to know how much its worth.on the off chance it's worth a *lot* more than what I paid, I'd likely sell it to a worthy home and get something more on my 'level'.
Cart getting ahead of the horse here. Anyway, I'd welcome any opinions on it, obviously it's hard to say without pics, knowing the body wood etc. I'll have our bass player give it thorough check once I get it.
I4tool 329 days. This bass looks like it's a bit further down the road from the 'glory days' of Schecter Guitar Research. Here's a blurb I found on one for sale on Reverb: Schecter Guitar Research Schecter Guitar Research, or commonly known as just Schecter, is an American guitar manufacturer. The company was founded in 1976 by David Schecter and originally only produced replacement parts for existing guitars from manufacturers such as Fender and Gibson.
Today, the company mass-produces its own line of electric guitars, bass guitars, and steel-string acoustic guitars. Custom shop days, 1976 - 1983 In 1976, David Schecter opened Schecter Guitar Research, a repair shop in Van Nuys, California. The modest repair shop manufactured replacement guitar necks and bodies, complete pickup assemblies, bridges, pickguards, tuners, knobs, potentiometers, and other miscellaneous guitar parts. Eventually, Schecter Guitar Research offered every part needed to build a complete guitar. It supplied parts to big guitar manufacturers such as Fender and Gibson and to custom repair shops which were building complete guitars out of Schecter parts. By the late 1970s, Schecter offered more than 400 guitar parts, but did not offer any finished instruments. Here's the link You can see that what they were making then were necks/headstocks that looked just like Fenders.
Still, any USA Schecter should have top quality parts. I remember those days well - their parts were as good as or better than OEM and all were available in chrome, black and gold. They also started using exotic woods for bodies and necks before anyone.
Really great stuff. Guitars and basses assembled from their wares were like Custom Shop instruments. Thanks very much for the info.
Yes I think this is a 90s model, at least the store seemed to think so. It only has a 4-digit number on it as you can see, '9463'. Seems short for a serial number so I'm not sure the '94' might mean the year. The store's quote was 'Plays nice, and it's USA, but it's not all that and a bag of chips' Gut feeling is that it may be worth more than what I paid ($149) but maybe not too much more. We'll see what a good player says when he plays it, and when I get some pics I'll post them if anyone is interested. The thing is that Schecter re-invented itself after those days and everybody knows them now for what they are (except for the dinosaurs like me).
Rhinoio keygen. Even as a USA I think you hit it with the value. You can find used modern ones in the $200-$300 range. Every great once in a while one of the old assemblies comes around and it's a treat to see. There was one on ebay for the longest time with a one piece rosewood neck and an exotic body I don't recall.
