Description
Schecter SLS ELITE-4 Evil Twin Electric Bass in Satin Black
The SLS ELITE-4 sits naturally in your hands across extended sessions with its lightweight neck-thru construction and thin C contour—a four-string engineered for players who spend hours dialing in their tone on stage and in the studio. The 34" scale and ebony fretboard with glow-in-the-dark side markers deliver precision and visual clarity in any setting. This is a modern workhorse that refuses compromise on versatility or playability.
Playability & Construction
Neck-thru architecture with Ultra Access combined with a maple/walnut/padauk multi-ply neck reinforced with carbon fiber eliminates neck dive and locks in rock-solid stability through long sets. The thin C contour, 24 XJ stainless steel frets, 16" fretboard radius, and 38mm Graph Tech XL Black Tusq nut keep your technique fluid and responsive; the 8.5 lb weight means no fatigue fighting you during extended gigs or marathon studio sessions.
Tone & Electronics
The Fishman Fluence Bass Soapbar Set with 3-way voicing switch—Classic, Funk, and Modern—takes you from vintage warmth to aggressive punch in a single gesture, while push-pull coil splitting and a dedicated pickup blend knob unlock deeper tonal sculpting for your sound. A 2-band active EQ section (bass and treble) with master volume push-pull control anchors a signal chain built to hold up night after night on stage.
