amana Posted March 5, 2016 Share Posted March 5, 2016 (edited) [color=#141823][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]********* Attention: Withdrawn ************[/font][/color] [color=#141823][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]I'm selling, not without many doubts, my Skjold Offset'92 from 2006. See more about the model at: [url="http://l.facebook.com/l.php?u=http%3A%2F%2Fskjolddesign.com%2Fbasses%2Foffset&h=jAQEPDqCt&enc=AZM35pijmWNDwQlttTT4UhDfJ52mnoEDLqbUguRjEdoRUIILLbeHy94j4KmSeaSXQq14gm2nmJt3gOkONKTSz1otHCjMsGQs6VUY8Fa1DaCJe6a_6c4wZhsVB9sCwVr3M8gq-3MgBQuW534A_ugosSEGgx7k8BMLfYxdKUykSGH8xw&s=1"]http://skjolddesign.com/basses/offset[/url][/font][/color] [color=#141823][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]The bass is almost 10 years old and it has been used, except for the last year and a half. I have played it regularly, although mostly at home, but I have also gigged it some 15 times. Despite the regular (but not intensive) use, I have cared for it as the apple of my eye. It has no dings or scratches. The only things that reveal the use are (1) one of the pickup covers has a string mark; and (2) the maple fingerboard, in which you can see traces of the fingers (even if I cleaned it regularly, but the fingerboard is unfinished maple and it is impossible not to leave marks after the use). I have asked Pete Skjold about the way to remove those marks and he says it is quite hard. He also says that it gives the bass character. [/font][/color] [color=#141823][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]I'm selling the bass because I have two Marco Bass Guitars and since they arrived the Skjold has been literally hanging on the wall, and a few days ago a friend told me "basses are made for being played, not for hanging on walls". [/font][/color] [color=#141823][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]It is an extremely light bass and it is also amazingly comfortable. The neck is very thin and is perfect for speed playing. The fifth string is unbeatable (the Marcos come close, but honestly, they can beat the Skjold on this). The sound of this bass and the quality of construction are really outstanding. No wonder these basses go now for over $4000.[/font][/color] [color=#141823][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]Details: - 5 strings - 3-piece quarter-sawn maple neck, Perfectly stable and smooth as silk - Body made of one exceptional piece of mahogany.

morsefull Posted March 6, 2016 Share Posted March 6, 2016 Bargain !! I love my 92 custom. Absolutely superb instruments from one of the best luthiers in the world. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
amana Posted March 9, 2016 Author Share Posted March 9, 2016 Thanks morseful!!! It really is a wonderful bass. I am seriously considering to keep it, but on the other hand I seldom play it so that's also a pity. I would love to see it played regularly and pampered by someone else as I have done.

amana Posted March 25, 2016 Author Share Posted March 25, 2016 The opportunity is about to be over! I am going to wait until the BOL DAY ([url="http://bassday.es/"]http://bassday.es/[/url]) on April 2nd where it will be available for direct sale together with other basses. After that I plan to retire the sale because I will not need the money anymore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
