Schecter SLS Elite-5 5-String Bass Left-Handed, Black Fade Burst Key Features

• Premium Construction: The SLS Elite-5 features a swamp ash body topped with stunning flamed maple. The swamp ash body provides a balanced tone with excellent resonance and clarity, while the flamed maple top adds a touch of visual elegance and brightness to the overall sound. The neck-thru design, which combines Maple, Walnut, and Padauk with carbon fiber reinforcement rods, ensures incredible stability, sustain, and playability. This 7-ply neck is ultra-thin and designed for speed and comfort, offering effortless access to all 24 frets.
• Ebony Fretboard and Stainless Steel Frets: The ebony fretboard adds a smooth, fast playing surface that complements the bass's modern aesthetic. Ebony is known for its bright, snappy tonal qualities, making it an excellent choice for players who want clarity and precision. The 24 X-Jumbo stainless steel frets ensure durability and a long-lasting, consistent playing experience, while the Abalone offset/reverse dot inlays add a touch of luxury to the fretboard.
• Advanced Electronics and Versatile Controls: The SLS Elite-5 is equipped with Fishman Fluence Bass Soapbar pickups, which are renowned for their noise-free operation and multi-voicing capabilities. These pickups deliver a wide range of tones, from classic bass sounds to modern, punchy tones. The electronics include a master volume control (with a push-pull function for switching to single-coil mode), a blend knob, and a 2-band Fishman EQ that allows you to shape your tone with precision.
• Schecter Custom Bridge: The Schecter Custom Bass String Thru (or Top Load) bridge provides excellent intonation, sustain, and tuning stability. This versatile bridge design allows you to string the bass either through the body for enhanced sustain or top-loaded for a lighter touch.

In addition to this, the 3-way toggle voicing switch offers three distinct tonal options:

• Classic: Warm, vintage-inspired tones.
• Funk: A more midrange-focused, punchy sound.
• Modern: Crisp, clear, and aggressive, perfect for contemporary music styles.
