Schecter SLS Elite 5 Black fade burst
The basses of the SLS Elite series combine the highest quality materials with first-class craftsmanship. The active Fishman Fluence pickups with their three selectable voicings, active 2-band EQ and coil split cover all styles and leave absolutely nothing to be desired when it comes to sound. In addition, the basses of the SLS Elite series rely on high-quality and proven woods as well as elaborate constructions; The neck-thru maple neck with walnut and padauk stripes is reinforced with carbon struts to ensure a great deal of stability. The 24 extra-jumbo frets incorporated into the ebony fretboard are made of stainless steel and are easily accessible in all positions thanks to the Ultra Access cutaway.
Fishman Fluence pickups are innovative, noiseless pickups with a Fluence Core, an active, multi-voice capable material. This allows for a versatile tonal range from vintage-inspired tones to modern, high-gain sounds. By eliminating traditional coils, they minimize unwanted noise and hum, especially at high gain levels. The integrated preamps improve the output level and enable precise sound shaping. Some models offer push-pull pots for seamless switching between different sound profiles without additional switches.
Grover® tuners are high-quality, precise tuning mechanisms. As key components for tuning stringed instruments, Grover® tuners are designed to ensure stable tuning while allowing for easy and precise fine-tuning.
A "Neck-Thru" neck represents a sophisticated and high-quality construction. In contrast to basses with screwed or glued necks, the neck extends through the entire body of the bass. A key advantage of the neck-thru design is improved string transfer and longer sustain. Another plus point is easier access to higher frets. Due to the continuous neck, bassists can easily play up to the highest frets without a neck-body connection getting in the way.
An ebony fretboard is characterized by a clear and precise tone quality. The dense structure of the wood allows the string vibrations to be efficiently transferred to the body, resulting in a balanced sound spectrum with clear highs and well-defined mids.
The Flamed Maple wood is characterized by a striking pattern called "Flame" or "Tiger Stripe". This distinctive, flamed grain not only gives the guitar a visually appealing aesthetic, but also contributes to its tonal character. In terms of sound, the Flamed Maple top offers a balanced mix of brightness, sustain and clarity.
