He also co-leads the anything-goes trio Harriet Tubman, God Particle (a duo with cosmologist and saxist Stephon Alexander), and the Zig Zag Power Trio with Reid and drummer Will Calhoun. Today, he has his own sound-design and bass project, which released the 4+1 equals 5 for May 25 EP via Bandcamp earlier this year. In the Rollins Band, Gibbs and guitarist Chris Haskett built raging bonfires of improvisation. He played with Sonny Sharrock for a decade, formed Power Tools with Bill Frisell and Jackson, and created alongside John Zorn, Arto Linsday, and many other notable downtowners. He broke out in late-’70s New York City as a member of punk-funk outfit Defunkt, and then, along with that band’s guitarist, Vernon Reid, became a staple of drummer Ronald Shannon Jackson’s Decoding Society.

For modern versatility, coil tapping is standard on each model, which allows for single coil trips to the sonicsphere. The Solo Special keeps the flash backs coming with a slab body packing a Duncan Designed HB-102 in the bridge position and a Duncan Designed P-100 which is a noiseless variant of the popular P-90.īoth guitars are 24.75” scale length mahogany bodies with Schecter’s Ultra-Access Set Neck, 22 Medium fret Rosewood boards and crème dot inlays. Adding to the retro cool factor is a raised “S” logo on the headstock with crème binding on the body, neck and headstock. Hiding under those groovy covers are a Duncan Designed HB-102 and an FG-101 in the bridge and neck position respectfully. The Solo Vintage brings back the vibes with a Bigsby B-50 Vibrato, roller Tune-O-Matic bridge and filtertron-esque covered pickups.

Shipping is $100 in the USA and $250 outside of the USA. These early Schecters are rare and expensive, They were only made for a short time a long time ago now. If you are friendly and know more about this bass than I do I don't mind hearing from you. I ve had enough of online guitar trolls and Internet guitar forum experts. Please limit inquiries to those from serious buyers only. This bass includes a non original hardshell case. At the moment I have one of the Dallas era Hendrix Strats for sale here on Reverb. I've owned a few of the old Schecters including a nice J bass. I know a guitar builder that has worked with him over the years going back to the 70s. I use to live in Tucson, Arizona where Dave Schecter is from. I know that Schecter worked with artists like PT for example. The bass player eventually became a minister so maybe there is an association with the cross. I saw them several times back in the day. As for the "Kansas" on the neck heel this might be the band Kansas. Everything works and it play and sounds good. It has the two offset end pin strap buttons. The body has the rib contour but the top is flat. Since it is pretty thin you don t notice the degradation quite so much. This is the old nitrate tortoise binding that has degraded in a few spots. It is made from mahogany and is bound around the front. The body has a yellowed olympic white finish. It has a brass nut, It also says Kansas on the heel. There is not a whole lot of wear to the frets or finish. It is in good shape and has the backwards nickel Kluson style tuning keys.
The neck finish is lacquer and it has yellowed nicely. This makes me think that the bass started life as you see it. There are no holes for the P and J pickup mounting/height adjustment screws. This body started life as a white P/J body that was then routed and set up with the EMG's.
It looks like the bass has the appropriate Van Nuys Schecter numbers on the neck heel and neck plate. It has two EMG pickups i n a setup that is reminiscent of a Thunderbird. This bass is a P-Bass with a Birdseye maple beck and a bound mahogany body. This looks like a bass that Schecter put together in the early 80s.
Up for sale is an original Van Nuys Schecter P bass.
