Sound & Tone
Swamp ash and a neck-through 7-ply maple/walnut/padauk build give this five-string a clear, punchy voice with long sustain, while the 35" scale keeps the low B tight and defined rather than loose. The Fishman Fluence active soapbars, 2-band EQ, single-coil switching and 3-way voicing/mid-cut selector cover everything from thick, aggressive fingerstyle and pick attack to snappier, more scooped tones, and the ebony fingerboard adds a firm, articulate edge to each note. It suits modern rock, metal and progressive playing as readily as funk and fusion, with a thin "C" neck and upper-fret access that support fast lines and slap work.
Schecter SLS Evil Twin-5 Bass in Satin Black B-Stock
The SLS Evil Twin-5 records with articulate punch and exceptional clarity across all five strings, anchored by neck-through construction and Fishman Fluence active electronics that translate to clean, defined tracking in the DAW. Sculpted swamp ash contours and an ultra-access heel carve support extended tracking and overdub sessions without fatigue. This instrument captures aggressive attack with refined nuance, equally suited to modern rock, metal, and progressive productions as it is to funk and fusion sessions.
Playability & Recording Performance
The carbon fiber-reinforced 7-ply maple/walnut/padauk thru-neck delivers sustain and tonal stability essential for layered bass parts, while the thin "C" neck profile (0.787" at the 1st fret, 0.866" at the 12th fret) enables precise, consistent intonation during takes. 24 X-Jumbo stainless steel frets on an ebony fingerboard with 16" radius ensure repeatable playability across intricate passages and thunderous riffs, session after session.
Tone & Electronics for Mixing Flexibility
Fishman Fluence active soapbar pickups with 2-band EQ and single-coil switching via volume push-pull deliver multiple voicing options through a 3-way toggle switch (Classic, Funk, Modern voicing modes)—ideal for capturing complementary tones across different takes or tracking multiple versions for blend control in the mix. The 35" scale length produces tight low-end definition with the clarity and responsiveness that sits cleanly in modern productions.

The SLS Evil Twin-5 features a thin "C" neck shape measuring 0.787" at the 1st fret and 0.866" at the 12th fret, paired with a 35" scale length. This combination encourages fast, fluid movement across the fretboard while producing tight low-end definition.
What voicing options do the Fishman Fluence pickups offer?
