The SLS Evil Twin-5 is your chance to explore the darker side of Schecter's SLS Elite bass series. Specs are virtually identical between these two great axes, save for the Evil Twin's 100% swamp ash body. What sets it apart are a killer black-on-black satin finish, sinister roman numeral fingerboard inlays, and glow-in-the-dark side fret markers for easy ID'ing on dark stages. Naturally, the Evil Twin slays for rock and metal. But with its Fishman Fluence active soapbar pickups with 3-way voicing switch, push-pull coil splitting, and 2-band active EQ, this bass will surprise you with its pop sensibilities and funk and soul potential. Schecter's neck-through sculpted body and string-through bridge maximize resonance and sustain. Meanwhile, a permanently lubricated TUSQ XL nut, a set of studio-stable Grover tuners, and a dual-action truss rod with easy-access neck heel wheel make the Schecter SLS Evil Twin-5 a bass that wants for nothing in terms of customization.

Sculpted swamp ash body
The SLS Evil Twin-5's sculpted swamp ash body is equal parts form and fashion, comfortably hugging the player's body when seated or standing and providing unparalleled access to higher frets. A satin black finish gives this bass a menacing stage presence indeed.

3-piece neck with XJ steel frets
Built for a lifetime of use and abuse, the Schecter SLS Evil Twin-5 features a 3-piece neck of maple, walnut, and padauk to resist warping and action creep over time. Its articulate ebony fingerboard comes fitted with 24 effortless Extra-jumbo stainless steel frets that are spec'd for tour-grade resiliency.

Active Fishman Fluence pickups
The Fluence active pickups have been a real game changer in terms of tone, output, noise, and clarity. The SLS Evil Twin-5's Fluence active soapbars feature both a 3-way voicing switch (class, funk, and modern) and push-pull coil splitting to stand up to virtually any style of music. Factor in a 2-band active EQ section (bass and treble) and a dedicated pickup blend knob, and the SLS Evil Twin-5 may replace many or all other basses in your arsenal.
