Even as a leftie (who knows nothing about bass pickups and electronics) the range of basses from Schecter seems huge. I was going to list the ones I like from the site, but it seems to be down at the moment. I can remember that from looks only (see: knows nothing about bass pickups and electronics) I liked the stiletto, riot, omen, and hellraiser- 5 strings only.
If I had to buy one right now I would go with the Omen for the $650 price tag and cool paint job. Any recommendations for a 5 string leftie Schecter? I’m going to use it for slap pop, and picking.

I love my Schecter Studio 4. Got it used on Reverb for ~$450 Looks like the Studio 5 (5 string version) comes in lefty.

I would love to own a Schecter SLS Elite 4 Evil twin. Fishman pickups are worth it.

For guitars I own two Hellraisers. I would personally go one level of quality higher than the omen but I don’t know how it is for basses. Just checking sweetwater, I like the Stiletto stealth too.

But you know, as a lefty myself, it’s nice when you can buy a bass in something OTHER than black. So the Schecter that caught my eye was the Studio 4 that RoyB has. It’s purty!

Oh for sure I was just looking at the models. I really like the “bursts” from them!

Beauty!
What would you say are the qualities of the hellraiser compared to other guitars you play?

Thanks! For some reason, yours and the original link now work for me. Must’ve been “operator error” the first try.

I have to say it’s good on Schecter for offering so many southpaw choices. Much of the time guitar manufacturers either overlook them completely, or have cheap/low end offerings.
I have a Stiletto Extreme 4 (I’m a righty though…) and it’s not a bad bass at all. I have a purple C-5 GT and purple Stiletto Studio 5 on the way to me, and I don’t know if I will keep the 4 for easier slappy time or sell it…
But yeah, if you’re a lefty Schecter really seems to have you covered.

I only have the standard 4 string models, but I’ve got a Custom 4 and an omen extreme.
They each have a different feel and sound.
If my custom 4 is an escalade decked out in leather, my omen is a 1985 k5 blazer with the top off, rolling on 31’s with a small block 400 screening under the hood.
They Will both hurt something for you, and they can but cry like a lost little girl.
The omen just plays a little dirtier. Little grittier sound and vibe from it.

Love the look of that custom

Oh, yeah. She’s pretty as all get out for sure. Nice retro look on it, but that thing has a heart made of pure heavy metal.
I’ve only been playing for 8 months, but I wanted an upgrade from my ibanez es300 ( really great bass ) a few months ago. That one was my " I have a dream " model.
So I’m no great or even good player, but I can say for sure schecter makes a high quality bass. I don’t really think you could go wrong. They cost a little, but I’ve not regretted either of them.

Ah, you have the “classy” Stiletto 
My Stiletto Extreme 4 would probably be romping along in the mud with that Omen XD $350 on sale and a great bass.

That is a tough question. For me it’s mainly about the looks, type of bridge and pickups. I do think Schecter has a better QC compared to Jackson. My Jackson has a few tiny cosmetic flaws while the Schecter was perfect.
