Frequently asked questions
Which bass is better for metal?
Both excel in metal, but the Evil Twin-5 offers more tonal shaping via Fishman Fluence switching, while the Stiletto-4 delivers raw aggressive punch through its EMG pickup pairing. The Evil Twin-5's five strings also extend the low-end range for drop-tuning.
Why would I choose the 4-string Stiletto over the 5-string Evil Twin?
The Stiletto-4 is a left-handed instrument, making it the essential choice for left-handed players. It also offers a more streamlined, focused EMG tone character without the switching complexity of the Fishman system.
What's the difference in neck construction?
The Evil Twin-5 uses carbon fiber-reinforced 7-ply maple/walnut/padauk thru-neck for maximum sustain and stability, while the Stiletto-4 uses mahogany with maple stingers and two carbon fiber rods in the truss rod. Both are neck-through with 35-inch scale and fast C-profiles.
Which is better for funk?
Both are excellent for funk, but the Evil Twin-5's Fishman Fluence with mid-cut switching allows more precise tone sculpting for percussive attack, while the Stiletto-4's EMG setup delivers immediate punchy articulation without needing to dial in settings.
