Description

Schecter built the SLS Evil Twin-4 LH as a left-handed, four-string electric bass positioned within its SLS (Super Lightweight Series) line, featuring neck-through construction with Ultra Access and a swamp ash body finished in Satin Black. The instrument was designed around active Fishman Fluence electronics and a multi-species laminated neck.

The neck is constructed from a maple, walnut, and padauk multi-ply blank reinforced with carbon fiber rods, capped with an ebony fretboard carrying Roman numeral inlays and glow-in-the-dark side dot markers. The 34-inch scale fretboard runs to 24 X-jumbo stainless steel frets on a 16-inch radius, with a Thin 'C' profile measuring .787 inches at the first fret and .866 inches at the twelfth. The 1.496-inch Graph Tech XL Black Tusq nut feeds into Grover 144 Series bass tuners. Both pickup positions carry Fishman Fluence Bass Soapbar units, managed by a master volume with push-pull single-coil tap, a blend control, a 2-band Fishman EQ, and a 3-way voicing toggle offering Classic, Funk, and Modern voices. The Schecter Custom Bass bridge accepts either string-through-body or top-load stringing. The body features an arched top with ivory 1-ply binding, and all hardware is finished in black. A 9-volt clip-in battery compartment powers the active circuit. The instrument shipped strung with Ernie Ball 4-String Super Long #2849 (.045–.105).

Owners seeking setup adjustments, fret work, or compatible replacement parts — including Graph Tech XL Black Tusq nut blanks, Grover 144 Series tuner sets, or Fishman Fluence active components — should consult a qualified bass technician or luthier experienced with active electronics and neck-through instruments.

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.

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.
