Members t3ch Posted November 5, 2007 Members Share Posted November 5, 2007 What's the difference between a CV-4 and a C-4? The C-4 I owned is the best feeling 4 I've ever played. Granted, that hasn't been more than maybe 6-7 basses, but it just felt good in my hands. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members slapthefunkyfour Posted November 5, 2007 Members Share Posted November 5, 2007 Here is a CV-4. I love it more than anything. It is my #1. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members xOriginalNinjax Posted November 5, 2007 Members Share Posted November 5, 2007 I believe the CV-4 was discontinued, if you know otherwise, please inform me...I want one. Best bass I've played bar only the JAF I played. No joke. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Jugghaid Posted November 5, 2007 Members Share Posted November 5, 2007 Very good basses. I had one briefly to try it out when they first released them. has kind of an L-2000 vibe to it. Really nice bass for not a lot of money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members jannda Posted November 5, 2007 Members Share Posted November 5, 2007 I have a C4 and have played both. I liked the C4 better thats why I bought it . Pros and cons Lets start with the cons the bridge is a bitch to set the intonation on The pickups but if you can live with EMG HZ or get used to them other than that there are no cons pros great workmanship,fast neck,nice electronics (other than possibly the pickups),beautiful finnish, nice fretts, great price.For the money you can't do much better Schecter makes some very good instruments JMO.

Members t3ch Posted November 5, 2007 Members Share Posted November 5, 2007 those are nice looking basses...excpet for that fofugly headstock Yeah they could've done better, no doubt. But the rest of the bass, and the feel of it, more than makes up for it! Hmm, now I don't know whether to get this or an L2k... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members slapthefunkyfour Posted November 5, 2007 Members Share Posted November 5, 2007 The Seymour Duncan pups in the CV-4 are far better IMO than the EMG-Hz pups in the C4. The pups in the CV-4 say Duncan Designed, and I wanted to upgrade, and when I called Seymour Duncan to order the real ones, they said that the only difference was the plastic cover. The insides are exactly the same. Much more tonal possibilities with the CV-4. The J sounds awesome, the HUGE humbucker has a coil-tap or mid control or something like that. The C4 humbuckers have no such tone shaping possibilities. If their sound is what you want, then you wouldn't need to change. And the new ones look horrid with that fugly headstock and goofy pickguard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members slapthefunkyfour Posted November 5, 2007 Members Share Posted November 5, 2007 Oh, I forgot to mention. The CV-4 is the most durable bass I've ever seen. I have tossed mine off the stage into the audience, Thrown it across the stage, dropped it, kicked it, stood on it, tried to smash my amp with it, stuck the neck into a ceiling fan (accidentally), broke the tuning pegs on my singers' shins, and it never even went out of tune. It only has a few nicks and scratches. I never did any of that on purpose or planned on it, but you all know the feeling of invincibility when yer on stage rockin, sometimes strange things happen.

Members slapthefunkyfour Posted November 6, 2007 Members Share Posted November 6, 2007 $232 for a CV-4 is an insane deal. I think I bought mine new for $350. But that was with a GC employee discount. I know you'll love it. PICS!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members la_brat1 Posted November 6, 2007 Members Share Posted November 6, 2007 controls are super-sensitive (I have the white cv-4 pictured above). Took me a while to figure out the pre-amp... can't just pick it up and boost/scoop/boost with the cv-4, you have carefully dial in your tone (moreso than my other basses).
