Schecter SLS Evil Twin-5 Left-Handed Bass Guitar - Satin Black Reviews
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 from Sweetwater a bass that wants for nothing in terms of customization.

Schecter SLS Evil Twin-5 Left-Handed Bass Guitar
I bought this bass after watching tons of reviews. All the reviews on Schecter SLS bass guitars said they have the most versatile sound package on a bass. One guy said if there is a sound you are trying to get that you can't find on this bass then he doesn't know what to tell you. I went with 5-string to have that extra string for a wider range. They also have a 4-string if you prefer that. I'm new on the bass and still learning and exploring. So far it sounds a feels good. It also looks great. Check out this review on another Schecter SLS Bass. The bass in the video has a different look but has all the same functions. It was the best review I saw and is what sold me on this bass.
Amazing bass
So, I bought one of these basses about 2 months ago, and I must say.... I love it! Esthetically speaking, it's a work of art. Craftsmanship is stellar, though not flawless. I have had issues with the pickups coming loose, and backing out to a point the they touch the strings when played at higher frets. A quick tighten with a screwdriver, and we're good to go again, but it is a bit annoying. May have something to do with my playing style too, as I play alot of slap/pop style bass. Tonally, this bass is VERY adjustable. A quick flick of a switch, and it goes from earthy blues tones to bright, but beefy funk goodness. Any sound you may be looking for is available with this bass. The neck is very fast, and playable with a satin finish on the back of the neck, and the hardware is of good quality. I highly recommend this bass for anyone. It's a one stop shopping type of bass, as it does it all...... really well!! Good job Schecter, and thanks for a wonderful buying experience Sweetwater. I've always been hesitant to buy instruments online, but with Sweetwater the experience was painless.
