Schecter built the JD Deservio Bass as a signature instrument for Black Label Society bassist JD Deservio, positioning it within the neck-through construction tier of their bass line. The model carried item number 49 and was manufactured in South Korea. The guitar color shown is Gloss Black with a "BLS" Distressed Flag finish.
The bass was constructed neck-through with Ultra Access geometry, the neck itself laminated from maple and walnut multi-ply stock in a Thin 'C' profile. The 34-inch scale fretboard is ebony, radiused at 16 inches, and carries 24 X-Jumbo frets alongside a JD Design inlay at the 12th fret. The nut is a Graph Tech XL Black Tusq unit at 42mm width, with a 2-way adjustable truss rod accessed via a 5/32-inch Allen nut. The mahogany body pairs with a Hipshot 'A' Style bridge that accommodates both string-through-body and top-load stringing. Electronics consist of two EMG 35HZ pickups running through an 18-volt battery compartment, controlled by a master volume, blend, and 3-band EMG active EQ. Hardware throughout is finished in black chrome, with Grover tuners and metal knurled knobs with set screws. Strings fitted at time of production were Ernie Ball 4-String Super Long #2849 (.045–.105).
Owners requiring setup work, fret dressing, or assistance sourcing compatible replacement parts — including Hipshot 'A' Style bridge components, Graph Tech Black Tusq XL nuts, or EMG 35-series pickups — should consult a qualified bass technician or luthier.
STRAIGHT TALK
What Stands Out
Keep In Mind
From the people who own them
Nothing in The Vault is for sale. These records exist so the instruments stay documented after the manufacturer moves on — and the most useful part of that record is what owners add to it.
Owner photos
Put yours on the record.
The catalog shot showed one finish, under one light, a long time ago. Yours has been played. Photos from owners are what the next person finds when they are trying to identify a part, match a finish, or work out whether the one they just bought is really what the seller said it was.
What do you know about this one?
Specs only go so far. What actually fits, what breaks first, what the factory got right and what everyone ends up changing — that lives with the people who own them, not in a datasheet. Post what you know and it stays on this page for whoever comes looking next.
