Schecter Riot-4 Bass Left-handed - Aurora Burst

[screambasses]

Do you love this bass or hate it? I'm undecided.

Yuck

I like the Riot shape, and would happily play a Riot Deluxe with neck-through or a Riot Session, but I hate those beveled bodies with a veneer that stops where the bevel begins. I also hate it on anything by Kiesel, where it appears to be the new standard look.

Nah

I'm not into modern style designs. Fender guy. That said the matching headstock is a nice addition. I would think the beveled body might be uncomfortable tp play for long periods. Too many sharp edges.

I hate those beveled bodies with a veneer that stops where the bevel begins.

Yeah, Ibanez got in on that game, too. I guess someone came up with it and it was eye-catching and a little different so everyone else jumped on board.

I never cared for it, either. However, I do like a nice big arm contour.

I like the idea generally, but I don't like the wide bottom end look of a lot of those Schecters. But the finish and beveling look great to me. If it were a slimmer shape I would be all for it.

When I was 25 I would have liked it, but at 55 years old it's a no for me.

meh! i.e. NO!!

I was in my local Sam Ash yesterday and they had the guitar version in the same finish, I will say this as manufactures now make tons of the same looking guitar it stood out. Still not for me but I could see someone who wanted to make a statement on stage playing one of these.

I do like everything except the body veneer. The shape makes a lot more visual sense if you see all of it as the headstock matches the body well. The main body wood looks really nice with a polished grey marble mood - there was no need to hide it (unless there are joint lines of a multi-part body under there).

Nah looks like someone put a sticker on there as an after thought
