Was gonna post this on the Project Bass thread, but, since Schecters have their own thread now…!
This is a Stiletto Extreme, I completed B2B on it, really a gem of a bass, but wanted to do a mod on it because I wasn’t playing it as much these days. So, got some Ernie Ball heavy gauge strings for a 5 string bass (the B string is 0.135!), and used the 4 lowest strings on this bass.
It required some tools from a basic setup kit, and a little know how of doing your own setups, but these are skills worth learning to do your own setups. The nut had to be filed down for each string slot. Nothing scientific about this, I just filed until each string fit! This was the only part you can’t un-do - you’d have to buy a new nut if you messed it up.
The other parts were just a slight truss rod adjustment, saddle heights, and intonation - all of which it needs with the slightly heavier strings in each spot. This baby looks wild, and plays some serious f*#kin’ low notes now!
