J3ster Posted April 22, 2011 Share Posted April 22, 2011 (edited) [size=3][font="Comic Sans MS"]This bass enjoys a stunning high grade AAAAA (5A) Flame Maple top over a very compact lightweight African Mahogany body which is further enhanced by a high gloss finish. The neck is comfortable and extremely fast with easy access to all notes across the neck. The B string is full, clear and balanced with the other strings and playable in all positions up and down the Morado fingerboard. This bass features the new John East (UK) / Pete Skjold (USA) custom three band pre-amp with active blend (pan) for the pickups. This bass preamp allows you to determine the frequencies at which the treble, middle and bass operate allowing to find the sweet spots that suit your playing techniques and preferred tones!! The bass for is totally "as new condition" with only light playing and minimal fret wear as described above. And comes with a Skjold Padded Bag and lifetime warranty from Pete Skjold. If you are looking for the ultimate 5 string bass, with fantastic sounds and playability, look no further. It's got everything from Jazz/Precision sounds to ultra modern Marcus style slap sounds with tons of clear, headroom. Also because of the wood choice and the incredible build quality (you have to see this bass in the flesh to really appreciate whats gone into building her) you can get with only a slight movement of the the pick up pan some brilliant finger funk Jaco tones, right through to Jamerson/Motown sounds! This Bass was reviewed by Bass Guitar magazine and is also the featured Bass in Bass Directs Skjold advertising. If you are into 5 strings then this is the Bass for you.
