Skjold Exotic Custom 4

[eubassix]

.. another instrument not so well-known (as yet) in the UK: this is a Skjold (pronounced 'schold', I think) Exotic Custom with a body of spalted beech, (front and back), and a seven piece maple and purpleheart laminated neck. The fingerboard is Bocote (an upgrade - even on this Exotic Custom, which is the top of the range) . The electronics / pickups are EMG, and overall it's a great sounding (and looking!) bass with a super light weight (8.2 lbs). 35" scale (with zero-fret), Vol - Pan - Mid with +/- and stacked Bass/treble:-

I think I've heard the name somewhere before, but I really like this! Bottom of the body profile is sorta like a Status S2 shape. Lovely looking instrument

I love these basses. i believe there are distributed by Bass Direct, in the UK, which also sell Nordstrand's...awesome.!! Is this where you got it from eubassix??

Very nice David - Didn't I play this one at the Bass Direct stand at the NEC? It certainly looked very similar and had the same spec as far as I remember...

Hope you are well and looking forward to seeing some more of your basses!!
