I don't get it: how can this be both a Custom Shop AND a Diamond Series? I thought the latter were all made in Korea or other Asian countries. |

I don't know. I had copied the title from the eBay listing. I just deleted "custom shop" from the title. I don't see any indication that it's a USA bass. A USA Schecter is thousands of dollars, and I've only ever seen one lefty. I doubt someone would be willing to let one go this cheap. |

Just did a little searching around. Looks like these models are in the Diamond Series but the specific model is called “California Custom” (ie: Omen, Ultra, etc..) , assuming since they couldn’t use JAZZ BASS specifically. Guessing it’s just a little confusion on the sellers part. |

California Custom is the USA made Schecter. Schecter doesn't mass produce USA made guitars like Fender so every USA made Schecter is a custom shop. The Diamond Series is indeed the Asian made series which is also great. So the seller could be misunderstanding. Correct me if I'm wrong but I think that's it!

So this is a never-seen-before Schecter Left-handed USA-made custom shop? What bass is this? Jazz? Precision? MM? Something else? Why does it say Los Angeles instead of Sun Valley? |

Guessing it’s just a little confusion on the sellers part. Ha, that explains a lot! It does look nice, with quality hardware (Hipshot style A bridge) and electronics (EMG PJ pickups in soapbar casings, and EMG pre). I googled the model and came across this gem  https://reverb.com/item/16582964-left-h ... ack-cherry This picture made me facepalm:  Putting your strings on like that is one thing, but using regular scale strings on a 35" scale bass strung through-body and completely ignoring the taper of the B and E string is something else  Price was mighty fine though. |
