I have owned 2. A stiletto 6 and a stargazer 5. Both fine instruments, especially at the price point. They generally get great reviews.

I've had a few, stillettos, a 004 (the pre-cursor to the stargazer), and a diamond P.
All of them were super solid, and I think Schecter makes a better neck than US Fender currently does.


I just ordered a Model-T today actually, I've loved the look of them for a while now.

I've had a Model T for about a year, I LOVE it! I wish it could be my main bass but it won't fit my main gig, but I play it as often as possible. I love P/Js, and the neck is sweet!

Just got my Model-T today, loving it.

The neck is really slim and really fast, I almost don't mind the high gloss finish (but I do, so it's still getting sanded). The pickups appear to be ACTUAL Seymour Duncan basslines, so that's a big plus, none of that duncan designed nonsense.
The production has shifted from South Korea to China with the new versions of the Model-T, I compared this new one side by side with a Korean and the build feels a little better on the Chinese version.
I was happy to see that the single ply black pickguard is thick and chunky like a vintage single ply should be.

Out of the box, the action and set-up was pretty much flawless, but the pickups were set a little high, so that was a quick fix.


Really impressed.
For $599, I can't understand why someone would buy a MiM Fender over this.
