This is a signature model, but I have seen the mahogany, black, and dayglo come in under 9. I wont buy a bass unless I can get the weight before buying, life is too short.

I never feel like mine is heavy at all.
That said I have a Hipshot aluminum bridge which probably drops the weight a bit.
Ricks are super comfortable and I never notice a weight thing Vs my aerodynes.
Time to get the scale out again …

Another (different seller) 8x10 Cab just appeared near me. It’s like the Bass Gods are speaking to me

I see a business opportunity converting these into coffins for old rockers.
Hell if Gene Simmons can sell coffins…
All we need is someone good at carpentry…hmmmmm

If it was closer I’d just like to play through it to feel was 8x10 was like.
For almost the same money. I can buy a Fender Rumble 500. Which is the next logical step.
However I like your business idea.

Yes! I definently want my cremation to happen with me in an 8x10. That would be AWESOME!

Don’t look now, Eric, but such a scenario would officially make you one of the grateful dead.

I’ve… become quite a Schecter fan, turns out. I love my little Stiletto Extreme 4; the neck and body make for the most comfortable bass I’ve played, and I love the sound of it. So I ordered an upgrade:
It’s a Stiletto Custom 4. I just got the shipping notice from Schecter, and they’re about an hour and a half from my house, so I expect it tomorrow, I hope.
I love the look of that thing. Same body shape as my Extreme, but the natural finish is awesome. It’s a mahogany body with a walnut and flamed maple top, a maple and walnut neck, and a rosewood fretboard. Unlike my Extreme, it has EMG pickups and an EMG preamp, with an S-Tek bridge.
EDIT: As of 6:52 AM on Tuesday, 11/8, it’s on the truck for delivery. Woot!

Those are nice.
I had a 5 string I liked, but wanted a 4 string version and sold it.
Never got a 4 string version yet, but someday, probably

I used to play with the Ampeg 8x10 and it’s the best bass cab I’ve ever experienced. At the time I had a pretty crappy amp head (Ashdown) and it still sounded impressive with this cab.

I have a South Korean made Schecter guitar, and the bang for the buck on these Schecters is so great. They make great stuff. Some day, I hope to be able to get my hands on their Banshee short scale bass to see how it feels. Nowhere around me has had one in stock.
That Stiletto Custom 4 is a great looking bass. Almost too nice. Like you’ll want to wear gloves to handle it.

So my GAS just flared up today when I saw the new Darkglass 200 watt heads. 2 of em! I love the Darkglass sound and not much more than the pedal cost.

Lobster reviewed it recently. Apparently it’s quite heavy, and the pickups seem a bit too bright for my liking. Something that could probably be fixed easily with a set of different strings, or by changing the pickups altogether. Still seems like a solid modding/upgrade platform.
