Description

Schecter positioned the SLS Evil Twin-5 (item 1395) as a high-specification five-string electric bass within its SLS (Schecter Limited Series) line, finished in Satin Black. The neck-thru-body construction with Ultra Access was paired with a swamp ash body, ivory 1-ply binding, and an arched top contour.

The multi-ply maple, walnut, and padauk neck incorporates carbon fiber reinforcement rods and a thin 'C' profile, measuring .787" at the first fret and .866" at the twelfth, with heel-access spoke-wheel truss rod adjustment. The ebony fretboard runs 24 X-jumbo stainless steel frets at a 16" radius over a 35" scale, with roman numeral inlays and glow-in-the-dark side dot markers. A Graph Tech XL Black Tusq nut sits at 1.771" width. Both bridge and neck positions carry Fishman Fluence Bass Soapbar pickups, controlled through a master volume with push-pull single-coil tap, a blend knob, a 2-band Fishman EQ, and a 3-way toggle voicing switch offering Classic, Funk, and Modern voices. The Schecter Custom bass bridge accommodates either string-thru-body or top-load stringing. Grover Bass 144 Series tuners and metal knurled set-screw knobs complete the all-black hardware complement. The instrument ships strung with Ernie Ball 5-String Super Long #2850 (.045–.130) strings and is powered by a clip-in 9-volt battery.

Owners sourcing replacement parts — including Fishman Fluence components, Graph Tech XL Tusq nuts, Grover 144 Series tuners, or stainless X-jumbo fretwire — or requiring setup work on the 2-way adjustable truss rod or string-thru bridge should consult a qualified guitar technician or luthier experienced with neck-thru bass construction.

From the people who own them

Nothing in The Vault is for sale. These records exist so the instruments stay documented after the manufacturer moves on — and the most useful part of that record is what owners add to it.

Put yours on the record.

The catalog shot showed one finish, under one light, a long time ago. Yours has been played. Photos from owners are what the next person finds when they are trying to identify a part, match a finish, or work out whether the one they just bought is really what the seller said it was.

What do you know about this one?

Specs only go so far. What actually fits, what breaks first, what the factory got right and what everyone ends up changing — that lives with the people who own them, not in a datasheet. Post what you know and it stays on this page for whoever comes looking next.
