Here's my full review of the new Schecter SLS Elite Bass with the Fishman Fluence Pickups. This is a very versatile modern bass with active electronics and a split coil feature. Modern hifi sounds and classic vintage sounds all in one!

I love how you put the bass in "real life" situations instead of all these reviews that just play a basic line while mechanically turning knobs. Fantastic review, thanks Marcelo !

Awesome review, and awesome bass. Schecter is one of my favorite brands, and now that they have the Fishman Fluence pickups in them.... it's just amazing. Thanks for taking the time to make this video. This and the sting ray special are definitely on my wish list. Appreciate ya brother!

Excellent explanations! That sounds like a very versatile bass! I like the old Diamond Series Jazz Bass with EMGs I got from them...what sold me on it was it's ability to come close to Marcus's tone. Thanks for sharing this! It's nice to know Schecter is still innovating!

@relaxingsounds1386 3 года назад

It's ALL the electronics. How the instrument plays and feels . . . whole different game. Fretwork tells the story. Most instruments at this price level have crap fretwork.

@57precision 3 года назад

@@relaxingsounds1386 I get this is not a premium instrument, but it isn't exactly cheap at over $1300 for the 5 string. For that price you're getting a ton of features, and it's the only bass with Fishman's unless you count the broken (and way more expensive) Spector Dimension. With these Korean instruments you have to realize that it's a value proposition, and corners will be cut. As long as you budget to have it plek'd or otherwise take it to your luthier if any bad frets reveal themselves then I think it could be a good deal.

@taylordye468 Год назад

great video, i just got the 5 string version, thanks for running through the knobs there are literally no other videos doing so and showing tonal difference :)

@robsantorobass Год назад

Awesome video man. One of the Schecter’s I have is a Schecter CV-4 and I love it. Solid bass, and honestly really versatile. One of the things I love about it is how the pick ups are arranged. They’re Schecter-J humbuckers. Which alone have their own sound, but also the neck pick up is slightly further from the neck (also 22 frets) so I have plenty of room for slap/double thumb plucking.

@kongandbasses8732 4 года назад

You are absolutely right with the "one volume control" thing. This is why I love MusicMan basses. Hint: Even when doing heavy lines, please try and play a bit slower. The first Megadeth line was great, but nobody was able to get the tone, just "pluckity-pluck". The humbucker-setting on this bass is awesome. In every tonal option.

It's a cool bass picked one up through sweet water and its pretty slick. I think you have the voicing settings mixed up though, up is modern (mids boosted), centre is flat and down is funk (scooped).

@erikjohnson2976 5 лет назад

Marcelo, thanks for the great review. First, your solid expertise fully demonstrates the flexibility of this unique bass; best review yet, and compelling enough that I'm going to pick up one of these beauties for myself. Second, the (ad lib?) "Wicked Games" interpretation you performed at 9:48 is absolutely stunning and sublime -- is this a piece you developed, or is there some sheet music that covers this interpretation (and where can I get it?).

If you haven't experienced how much quality is built into Schecter basses, you are missing out! Big props to the very talented and dedicated people at Schecter!

@BoomChockolaca 5 лет назад

Bass looks great (that cafe latte look), and sounds either! I was really surprised that you have 4 things to play with: EQ, Pickup Balance, Tone Mode and Single coil mode. For me as a fender jazz bass and music man lover the Slap position sounds the best, but Modern Metal + Single coil mode sounds amazing too. Actually all modes in single coil position sound just perfect. Thanks for the review, now I want that bass)))

@Libanass 3 года назад

Marcelo, have you played a Fodera? They have a lot of distance between the strings and the fretboard too, probably more than what I see here! Slapping actually isn't as comfortable as Wooten makes it look like! ☺️ Especially a Monarch Deluxe like his 83 one, I was really surprised! But you do get kinda used to it, as I have.. But still wish the distance was a bit less.. Nice bass!

You forgot to demonstrate the neck pickup on its own. I was hoping to hear that in classic single coil mode. I wanted to hear if is could get close to a Steve Harris-style sound. Thanks though, I am interested in this bass. Edit: I got one and I can get a few different Steve Harris sounds from Maiden albums past. I can even get a very good Chris Squire 'Fragile' bass sound. Lovely.

Hi Marcelo, great video. I am close to pulling the trigger on an SLS Elite 4 Evil twin. Love the looks, and based on your review and a few others the pickups seem to be extremely versatile so that is great. I am rather more concerned about built quality and playability since I am not able to try one before I order because I am lefthanded. After having the bass for some time now , what do you think about those aspects of it.

@Jagdpz5 5 лет назад

I have 5 string version and for me it's great. 45 mm at the nut 17 mm at the bridge. It also has 35" scale length which goes a long way to keep that B string tight.

@skeeter197140 5 лет назад

I've got a Schecter Diamond Elite 5 string, and it's a nice looking bass, but it needs a serious set-up. The bridge doesn't like B strings, and the the finish on the neck is kinda sticky. Sounds awesome though. I still use my Fenders most nights though.

@likeakloss 4 года назад

As a guitarist doing bass window shopping, I gotta say that I appreciate that you consider all types of players when demoing a bass. That said, would say your money is better spent on an SLS versus an EBMM Stingray 5HH if you're a bass casual playing with a pick?

@1992Apocalypse 3 года назад

Have the 5 string version, it will sound like just about anything! Can even get a relatively convincing justin chancellor tone from it, which is quite a feat. I find myself playing on funk setting, both humbuckers, and the treble rolled up a bit , with a bi-amped clean/dirty rig and it sounds absolutely devastating.

@samdoney6623 5 лет назад

A versatile bass for me is one with active/passive switch. Other than that, looks like a good bass.

@TheAtlantaThrasher 4 года назад

I have a Schecter Riot. I'm kind of a bass noob. I didn't realize until you said that it had either through body or top load bridge. Mine came set up through the body. Realizing that I have an option now, which do you prefer? The only advantage I can think of for top load is that maybe the strings may be reused later with better consistency. But, I don't know what I'm talking about either. Opinions?

And again awesome playing and video i am looking forward to see more videos from you . Have a great day.

Thank you! The video was already getting too long and I didn't feel it was necessary. There's already a lot of detail in the review for anyone wanting to know more about this bass, and definitely more detail than any other review out there.

I have Schecter Stiletto Studio. Really versatile bass. It has a little more spacing between the neck and neck pick up than this one. I've had Ricks, Gibsons, Fenders and Vox. I really love the stiletto. Hell you can leave your finger on the string for harmonics. The stiletto runs around 649. These basses are truly amazing. Set up very well from the factory.
