Dark, sinister style
A bass guitar that stands apart from all the rest. The Schecter SLS Evil Twin is a simply stunning example of how to make an instrument look completely cool and captivating. Schecter have loaded it with a stack of design features that you're unlikely to find in anything else.
The black-on-black finish is immediately striking. This dark, menacing aesthetic makes the bass look like an out-and-out rock machine. Glow-in-the-dark side markers add a distinctive, shining appearance to the overall style when the lights are down low. They're functional, too. They'll help you to see what you're doing, even at the most dimly lit of venues.
Roman numeral inlays spread along the guitar's fretboard are fantastically unique. This bass really does look like no other instrument in existence. Treat yourself to a magnificent bass guitar that is certain to make you stand out from the crowd.
Bass tone that conquers all
You've never had a bass that sounds like this before. Schecter have loaded the SLS Evil Twin with Fishman Fluence Bass Soapbar pickups that allow you to intricately shape your tone and create a sound that's completely individual.
Locate your perfect tone. A 2-band EQ for bass and treble frequencies lets you tweak your 5-string bass' sound to suit the pitch you're playing at. Whether you're playing deep, driving riffs at the low end, or scintillating bass solos at the top of the fretboard, you'll always sound sharp.
But that's just the beginning. The sonic capabilities of the Evil Twin are truly remarkable. It comes equipped with a 3-way toggle voicing switch, letting you experiment with classic, funk, and modern bass sounds. This gives you a superbly diverse tonal range to use in your music, and will let you craft a sound that is entirely unique. Your bass will be the most distinctive part of any song.
Incredible clarity
Sound quality. Something you should never be made to compromise on. You won't have to with the Schecter Evil Twin-5. Not only are the Fishman electronics brilliant for giving you an individual sound, they also offer fantastic audio fidelity. Your basslines will be delivered with sparkling clarity, ensuring that your playing always sounds clear and sharp.
Furthermore, the pickups' amazing sound quality at high output means you can play at loud volumes without the worry of noise interference ruining your sound. As a result, your exhilarating bass playing will always cut through the mix with accuracy and definition.
Durable and built to last
With an instrument of such tremendous quality, you need assurance that it'll be able to perform at its best for as long as possible. To ensure this, Schecter have used a number of features to maximise the SLS Evil Twin's durability.
Carbon fibre reinforcement rods running through the guitar's neck provide supreme toughness. They'll prevent the neck from warping and bending, and make it less susceptible to breaking, even if it takes a bump. A Graph Tech XL Black Tusq string nut will make your strings last. This material is supremely strong, and will help to maintain your strings for as long as possible, making irritating restringing much less frequent. All the features you need to make your guitar last.
High-performance playability
A bass designed to ensure every second you're playing it is a joy. The SLS Evil Twin offers you the maximum in playability. A maple, walnut, and padauk neck is extremely sleek to the touch. This means you'll be able to smoothly glide from note to note, even at super-high speed. Ideal for rapid basslines.
You'll enjoy total comfort, too. The neck's thin, "C"-shaped profile will fit comfortably in your hand. The "C" shape is intricately crafted to fit to the contours of your frethand, meaning cramp will be a thing of the past. Thanks to this, you'll be able to play on for hours without hand strain or soreness holding you back.
No restraints
Play all the way to the very top of the fretboard. A double cutaway body design gives you unencumbered access to the highest frets, without having to stretch your hand over a bulky neck joint. This means that when you're playing, you can focus entirely on unleashing electrifying sound upon your audience, without the worry of finding it difficult to hit notes at the high end. This is a bass that gives you complete creative freedom.
