Schecter Stargazer 12 String Bass: Technical Review & Demo

​‪@proaudiostar‬ Thank you to Josh, Curran, Madelyn, Victor, and the rest of the customer service team!

‪@SchecterGuitarTV‬ It would be very helpful if you could address the lack of cavity shielding in this bass.

‪@IanMartinAllison‬ I blame you for making me want a 12 string bass! 😁


Finally got my hands on one of these bad boys! Check out the various chapters if you are only interested in the specific subtopics. I went into a lot of technical detail. At the time of uploading this video, I am the ONLY Youtuber who has made an in depth video on this bass.

For the price point the construction is good, but some detail work needs to be refined to justify it namely the electronic shielding. Not sure if the other Stargazer models in the Diamond Series are like this without shielding too, but I'd wager a guess in saying yes. Schecter needs to stop cutting corners with this critical step. Even if its copper paint and the grounds are tied back to the volume pot it's better than nothing.

Hope you all enjoy the video and the audio demo. I realize this bass model is a major oddity, but whoah it plays ands sounds incredible!
