Description
Sound & Tone
Swamp ash and an ebony fretboard give this five-string a punchy, articulate voice with tight lows and a vocal midrange, while the 35" scale keeps the low B firm and defined. The active EMG pair — a 40P at the neck for thicker fundamental and a 40J at the bridge for bite — runs through an 18-volt 3-band B64 EQ, so you can shape anything from aggressive, cutting attack to smoother, controlled bottom end. It suits rock riffing, funk grooves, and modern metal, responding to both hard-hitting attack and lighter dynamic playing.
Schecter The Freeze Sicle 5 String Electric Bass in Purple
The Schecter The Freeze Sicle sits naturally in your hands with ergonomic body contours and a responsive neck that lets you move fluidly across all five strings without resistance. Crafted from swamp ash and outfitted with EMG electronics, this bass speaks with punchy, articulate tone—tight lows that lock in with a drummer, vocal midrange that cuts through the mix, and dynamics that respond to your touch whether you're laying into aggressive rock riffs, locking into funk grooves, or delivering modern metal with precision.
Playability & Feel
The Canadian rock maple neck with carbon fiber reinforcement rods and ebony fretboard deliver rock-solid stability and tactile response across the 35" scale and 24 narrow jumbo frets. The "C"-shaped neck tapers from 21mm at the 1st fret to 23mm at the 12th fret, fitting comfortably in your grip whether you're playing fingerstyle, slap, or pick—no hand fatigue even during marathon sets.
Tone & Electronics
Dual white EMG pickups—the EMG 40J at the bridge and EMG 40P at the neck—feed into an EMG 3-band B64 EQ with master volume and tone controls, powered by an 18-volt battery system. This active rig delivers the articulate snap you need for aggressive play while giving you comprehensive EQ control to sculpt everything from bright, percussive attack to warm, deep lows.
