For 2015 Schecter took the Diamond-J shape and redesigned it from the ground up to have a Vintage look while having top of the line electronics, versatile tone possibilities, and modern construction.Starting with the Seymour Duncan Pickups, the Bridge & Neck are the Quarter Pound J SJB-3. Developed for the bassist who needs the slammin’ output of the Hot but with even stronger attack. The quarter-inch pole pieces and intense windings deliver a full response with great sustain.The Master Volume knob features a Phase Switch push-pull pot wired for the Quarter Pound J Bridge pickup. In down position the Seymour Duncan SJB-3′ is wired in phase’ for normal tone when combined with the Neck pickup. In up position the bridge pickup is wired Out-of-Phase’ when combined with the Neck pickup. This produces an original nasally honky tone with lots of emphasis on the Midrange. Previously a difficult tone to work with because the Low-end is cut until now since adding the Seymour Duncan 2-Band Active EQ with 18v system the Bass can be boosted creating a very unique tone that can be used for tailoring your original sound.Schecter was looking for the most versatile tone possibilities so we developed this bass with a 4-Way Rotary Pickup Selector Switch. This gives you the option to combine the Bridge and Neck pickup in series or in parallel.Schecter took these wiring features and then added the Seymour Duncan 2-Band Active EQ with 18v system for even more tone shaping versatility. This enables the player to add or subtract EQ at center frequencies voiced specifically for electric bass. The lows are deep, clear, and tight. There are two treble dip switch’ frequency centers to choose from. The lower setting is perfect for adding growl and bite to traditional P, J, and MM tones. The higher setting provides crystal clear top end to modern-sounding, full-frequency bass tones with punishing clarity without any brittleness.AfterModel Name: Diamond-J PlusItem Number: 2862Guitar Colors: Aged Natural (AN)Country of Origin: South KoreaDexterity: Right HandedConstruction: 6 Bolt-onBody Material: Swamp AshTop Contour: Flat TopNeck Material: Maple w/ Carbon Fiber Reinforcement RodsFretboard Material: MapleBinding: Black 1-plyInlays: Ebony BlocksScale: 34 (863mm)Frets: 20 Narrow X-JumboFretboard Radius: 12 (305mm)Neck Shape: Thin C’Thickness: @ 1st Fret- .826 (21mm)/ @ 12th Fret- .905 (23mm)Nut: Graph Tech XL Black TusqNut Width: 1.496 (38mm)Truss Rod: 2-Way Adjustable Rod w/ 5/32 (4mm) Allen NutBridge Pickup: Seymour Duncan Quarter Pound J SJB-3Neck Pickup: Seymour Duncan Quarter Pound J SJB-3Controls: Master Volume (Phase Push-Pull)/4-Way Rotary Pickup Selector Switch/Active Seymour Duncan 2-Band ‘STC-2S-B0’ EQBattery Compartment: 18-volt w/Screw PlateHardware Color: ChromeBridge: Wilkinson Bass, Electric Bass, 4 String Electric Bass Schecter Guitar Research J19240.001 2861 Schecter Guitar Research, 4 String Electric Bass |
