Your basslines will come to life like never before, and your music will sound rich and full.
The bridge pickup is powerful and punchy, helping your basslines stand out in any mix. Whether you’re slapping, picking, or plucking, every note will be heard. The neck is rich and smooth, making your basslines blend in and fill the mix. This pair of pickups is guaranteed to produce stellar results, every time you play.
Supreme playing neck
Variety is the spice of life. That's why the SLS Elite-5 has a variety of woods making up the neck. Maple, walnut, and padauk combined make it super sturdy, reliable, and resonant – and it's a pleasure to play. Built to a thin 'C' shape, you'll find that it truly excels in terms of playability, feeling natural, comfortable, and powerful in your hands. You'll have no trouble pummelling through those basslines with this superb tool.
Elite ebony
The dark prince of fretboards. Ebony is favoured by many bassists because of its beautifully bright resonance and satisfying feel – there really is no equal. Smooth, sleek, and elegant, the ebony fretboard on this model will give you goosebumps as you slide along its surface. The stainless steel frets provide a strong, bright resonance and offer the best durability. Adorned with beautiful offset abalone dots to guide you along the way, this fretboard truly stands out as a stunning piece of artistry and an exceptional musical tool. You'll never want to take your fingers off it.
For the pros
Play with maximum confidence. The Schecter Custom Bass String Thru bridge offers total tuning stability, so you can keep those basslines ultra-sharp. This is essential for live shows, where tuning issues can significantly detract from the performance. Grover Bass 144 Series tuners also help massively with string support, and allow you to swiftly change your strings with ease. Coming with a stunning finish and a gleaming flamed maple top, this bass means business.
