Schecter Guitar Research Freezsicle - 5 2025 - Purple

This is an absolute Mint, Shecter Guitar Research Diamond Series FreeZesicle-5. It was recently purchased and as new (just decided to stick with 4 string). It is perfectly set up and intonated with a new set of DR Dragon Skins; I will also throw in the sweet purple paisley Cable Free Guitar strap and strap locks ($75). It plays and sounds amazing, has a great tone and is a beautiful guitar. Here is what the ads have to say:

So Cool, It Freezes: Ricky Smith’s Signature Bass

The Schecter FreeZesicle gives new meaning to the word “cool”! Outfitted with a rich swamp ash body, a comfortable hard-rock maple neck, and a silky-smooth ebony fingerboard, this bass will have you grooving with ice-cold lines. The signature instrument of Ricky “Freeze” Smith, the FreeZesicle delivers groovy capabilities ready for modern-day funk and old-school charm. A pair of EMG pickups steal the show with a slew of both P- and J-style tones, while an EMG active 3-band B64EQ system allows for funk-centric contouring and more. Gold hardware rounds out the stellar look of the FreeZesicle with undeniable swagger. Sweetwater recommends the FreeZesicle to bass players looking for an instrument that has it all: funk, flare, and fine-tuned playability.

Born to groove, designed to deliver

The FreeZesicle Signature Bass is ready to harness your funky grooves. Designed with top-quality tonewoods, including a swamp ash body, the FreeZesicle has what it takes to bring your grooviest lines to fruition. Its Canadian hard-rock maple neck also boasts reinforced carbon fiber rods for an extra layer of defense against warping, and its “C”-shaped profile will inspire quick, clean fretting action. Speaking of which, you’ll find a 12-inch radius and 24 narrow-jumbo frets along the silky, sleek ebony fingerboard. The FreeZesicle also boasts a Graph Tech XL black TUSQ nut, bolt-on neck, Schecter Custom tailpiece, and Grover vintage tuning keys. The mojo of the FreeZesicle is wrapped up succinctly with a gloss finish and resplendent gold hardware.

Fulfill your desire to funk with EMG electronics

Schecter knew exactly what to do when it came to arming the FreeZesicle with chilling sonics: outfit it with EMG pickups and an active preamp section. At the electric heart of the FreeZesicle, you’ll find two EMG pickups — a 40J and a 40P — to give you the best of both worlds. With the 40J, users will find sweeping harmonic overtones and plenty of classic J-style punch. With the 40P, users can be sure of superb high-end articulation, warmth, and considerable low-end punch. Joining forces, these pickups kick the funk into high gear! Then, it’s time to take advantage of the EMG B64EQ system with bass, mid, and treble controls, plus master volume and master tone. Sweetwater tip: the mid-cut centered at 600Hz is the perfect setting for funky tones.
