Schecter Stiletto Appraisal

Schecter Diamond Series Stiletto Extreme-5 Electric Bass

This is a 5-string electric bass guitar featuring a contoured double-cutaway mahogany body with a highly figured quilted maple top, finished in a translucent See-Thru Black. The instrument includes a bolt-on maple neck with a rosewood fretboard, decorated with distinct pearloid 'Vector' inlays and a multi-ply white binding that extends around the body and headstock. For electronics, it is equipped with two Schecter Diamond active humbucking pickups managed by a master volume, blend, and an active 2-band EQ (treble/bass) system. The hardware consists of a heavy-duty bridge with five individual saddles and black chrome die-cast tuners on a matching quilted headstock. Notable condition indicators show the instrument rests in a black plush-lined hardshell case with minor surface oxidation visible on the bridge saddles and pickup pole pieces. The finish appears well-maintained with a deep luster, suggesting a late 2000s to mid-2010s manufacturing era. This model is recognized for its sleek, modern ergonomics and high-quality craftsmanship within the intermediate professional market.
