Schecter The Freeze Sicle 4 String Electric Bass in Purple
Description
Schecter The Freeze Sicle 4-String Electric Bass in Purple
The FreeZesicle-4 sits naturally in your hands with its C-shaped neck and carefully graduated thickness (21mm at the 1st fret, 23mm at the 12th), balancing comfort during marathon sessions with the precision needed for tight studio takes. The 34-inch scale and 38mm nut width give your fingers a measured workspace without fighting excess string tension, while the swamp ash body with beveled top contour delivers striking visual presence in purple and a resonant acoustic foundation that energizes the onboard electronics.
Playability & Construction
Solid bolt-on construction anchors a Canadian hard-rock maple neck reinforced with carbon fiber rods that resists neck dive and stays true through long sets. The ebony fretboard with 24 narrow-jumbo frets and a 12-inch radius feels fast under your fingers, while gold pearloid inlays (crown at 12th fret, heart at 19th) and white side dot markers keep you visually locked in. The Graph Tech XL black TUSQ nut and Grover vintage tuning keys hold their settings night after night, with smooth, reliable gear action that never lets you down on stage.
Tone & Electronics
Dual white EMG pickups—a 35J at the bridge and 35P at the neck—give you punchy articulation and cut through any mix. The comprehensive EMG 3-Band B64 EQ with master volume and master tone controls, powered by an 18-volt battery compartment, lets you dial in your sound from low-end thunder to high-mid clarity. The gold Schecter Custom bridge features fully adjustable action and a choice of top-load or string-thru mounting, locking in tight feel and tonal flexibility across any genre you throw at it.
