Schecter Ultra Bass, $699 street price new.

With the horn and cutaway of a Tele and the lower body curve of a J, it sure captures the angular looks of a T-bird.  :P  ;D

Different headstock than the Ultra. Tuners on the bottom as well, plus spiffy added upper pg. Definitely a WTF!

AFAIK it's just an earlier version of the Ultra. As always, I could be wrong.

I could just as easily be wrong, but the Ultra certainly is a better looking "Thunderbird"...  :-\

That is just so wrong... :sad:

I think Dave is correct about it being an early version. They have an even uglier headstock now.

I kinda like it.  A cross between a T-bird and a Jet King.

But, contrary to doctrine here, to me T-birds are not special.  (With apologies to those who are True Believers.)

...

More like the offspring of a three-way involving a T-Bird, a Tele, and a Jazz Bass.

Just don't ask me how!
