Description
Sound & Tone
The 35" scale, swamp ash body, and neck-thru build push this five-string toward tight, well-defined low B fundamentals with plenty of cut, while the ebony fingerboard and stainless frets add snap and clarity to the attack. Fishman Fluence Bass Soapbar pickups with 3-way voicing, push-pull coil splitting, and a 2-band active EQ plus blend knob let you move between fat, humbucking thickness and leaner single-coil articulation. It suits modern rock and metal, progressive and extended-range playing, and slap or fingerstyle work where note separation matters.
Schecter SLS ELITE-5 Evil Twin Left Hand Electric Bass in Satin Black
This left-handed five-string is engineered for the studio and tracking sessions where precision matters. The neck-thru construction and thin C-contour maple/walnut/padauk neck create a stable, resonant platform that cuts through dense mixes while maintaining clarity across the extended range. The 35" scale paired with a 45mm Graph Tech XL Black Tusq nut and ebony fingerboard delivers the articulation and sustain needed to capture tight, defined bass lines with natural dynamics. The satin black finish with roman numeral inlays and glow-in-the-dark side fret markers ensures this instrument looks as professional in recordings as it performs.
Recording Playability & Construction
Neck-thru construction with Ultra Access provides the tonal coherence and sustain essential for tracking bass parts that need to sit perfectly in a mix. The thin C contour neck shape reduces hand fatigue during long recording sessions, while the 16" fretboard radius (406mm) and 24 XJ stainless steel frets enable consistent intonation across the entire range—critical for both fingerstyle and slap work. The swamp ash body contributes natural resonance and midrange presence that translates well to tape and digital capture.
Tone Shaping & Studio Versatility
The Fishman Fluence Bass Soapbar pickups with 3-way voicing switch and push-pull coil splitting provide the tonal flexibility required in modern production—dial in aggressive, focused lows for hip-hop and electronic work, or switch to articulate, defined highs for jazz and funk sessions. The 2-band active EQ section (bass and treble) with dedicated pickup blend knob gives you surgical control over your recorded tone, tracking tight, focused lows or bright, punchy highs from a single instrument.

Frequently Asked Questions
What makes this bass suitable for left-handed players?
This is a fully left-handed configuration with the neck on the opposite side and all controls mirrored for natural left-hand playing. The neck-thru construction and thin C-contour shape remain optimized for fast position work and minimal hand fatigue.
Can I dial in multiple tones with the Fishman Fluence pickups?
Yes. The Fishman Fluence Bass Soapbar pickups include a 3-way voicing switch and coil splitting, combined with a 2-band active EQ (bass/treble) and dedicated pickup blend control, giving you a wide range of tonal palettes from a single instrument.
What is the 35" scale and why does it matter?
The 35" scale is longer than standard (usually 34"), providing tighter low-end definition and better note clarity on the low B string. It pairs with the thin C-contour neck to make extended-range work comfortable and precise.
Is this bass good for beginners?
This is designed for intermediate, advanced, and professional players. The extended range, active electronics, and demanding playability make it better suited to those with prior five-string or advanced bass experience.
What genres does this bass work best for?
The tight lows, punchy mids, and articulate highs excel in funk, progressive, and modern studio/live contexts. It is not optimized for traditional jazz applications.
Do I pay sales tax on this order?
Sales tax is collected only on orders shipped to California; orders shipped to any other US state are not charged sales tax at checkout when you buy direct from our website. At a typical 7% rate that is an estimated $119 less at checkout than the same listed price on a marketplace, which collects sales tax as the facilitator in most states. Buyers remain responsible for any use tax their state applies. Free US shipping and 30-day returns are included.
