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!

What bass is this? Jazz? Precision? MM? Something else?
Why does it say Los Angeles instead of Sun Valley?

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

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.
