Sound & Tone
The swamp ash body and maple neck with an ebony fretboard lend this 34-inch scale four-string a clear, focused voice with firm low end and quick note definition. The EMG 35P at the neck supplies thick midrange punch while the 35J at the bridge adds bite and articulation, and the 18-volt 3-band B64 EQ lets you dial in scooped modern slap tones, aggressive rock grind, or a rounder fingerstyle thump without touching the amp. It suits rock, metal, funk and session work where an active, high-output sound needs to cut through a dense mix, and the string-thru or top-load bridge options let you tune the attack to taste.
Schecter The Freeze Sicle 4-String Electric Bass in Purple
The FreeZesicle-4 delivers a balanced, ergonomic feel with its C-shaped neck and carefully graduated thickness (21mm at the 1st fret, 23mm at the 12th), making it equally comfortable for extended playing sessions or quick studio work. The 34-inch scale and 38mm nut width provide a measured playing field without excess string tension, while the swamp ash body with beveled top contour offers both visual appeal in striking purple and a resonant foundation for the electronics.
Playability & Construction
Built on a solid bolt-on construction, this bass features a Canadian hard-rock maple neck reinforced with carbon fiber rods for stability and reduced neck dive. The ebony fretboard accommodates 24 narrow-jumbo frets with a 12-inch radius, while gold pearloid inlays (crown at 12th fret, heart at 19th) and white side dot markers provide clear navigation. The Graph Tech XL black TUSQ nut and Grover vintage tuning keys ensure reliable tuning retention and smooth gear action.
Recording & Tone Shaping
Dual white EMG pickups—a 35J at the bridge and 35P at the neck—feed into a comprehensive EMG 3-Band B64 EQ with master volume and master tone controls, powered by an 18-volt battery compartment. The responsive pickup pair captures articulate highs and defined lows across a wide dynamic range, while the active EQ provides surgical control for dialing in pocket-focused fundamentals or cutting through a dense mix. The gold Schecter Custom bridge offers fully adjustable action and a choice of top-load or string-thru mounting, delivering tight articulation and flexible tonal shaping across genres.
