Bringing Schecter’s beloved SLS Elite line to a whole new audience, the SLS Elite-4 Bass will satisfy even the most discriminating bassist.

A carbon fiber-reinforced 7-ply maple/walnut/padauk ultra-thin thru-neck meets a premium swamp-ash body with a stunning flame maple top, and is then treated with an ultra-access heel carve for comfortable playing in all positions of the 34" scale neck and unencumbered access to all 24 X-Jumbo stainless steel frets.

The premium electronics package features Fishman’s Fluence bass pickups, offering incredible power with stunning clarity and warmth, and a generous assortment of tone-sculpting options at the player’s fingertips including a 2-band EQ, single-coil switching option via the volume push-pull, and 3-way switch for alternate voicing and mid-cut selections.

Ensuring that the foundation you lay for your bandmates is solid and consistent, premium components including a GraphTech BlackTusq nut, Schecter Custom bridge, and Grover 144 tuners keep your tuning exactly where you want it. Case sold separately.

    For a neck-thru with humbucker pickups this thing is a steal. The ultra thin neck makes it a lot of fun moving up and down the fretboard. it has a bit of a bitey distortion of a vintage tube amp even playing through a solid state. I am getting the evil twin version as a back up bass. Previous Schectors I have owned had cut corners on things like a plastic nut or janky knobs.. not this one

  • Hands down the best bass I've ever played

    This is the most versatile bass I've ever played. It feels amazing, plays fast and clean, and the tones you can get are limitless. The Fishman fluence pickups give you any tone you want from vintage to modern and everything in between. It's nice be able to get a pure vintage sound without having to play a boat anchor with a log for a neck. I would recommend this to anyone for any style of music. Hands down the best bass I've ever played... and I started on a peavey T-40 so yeah, I've played more than a few.

  • Awesome bass!

    All basses vary depending on the density of the wood . Even the same model can vary up to a 1.5 lbs Manufacturers usually only spec size and type of wood. Bass Guitars are generally between 8.00 and 10.00 lbs. The only way to know the weight of an individual instrument is to weigh it. This will be approximately 8-9 lbs

    Unfortunately, we have no way of knowing what the blemish is. However, it would only be a minor cosmetic flaw and would not effect this basses play ability.
