If I had £2799...

Unfortunately for me that's a total eyesore. I think my band might also laugh at me and try and open bottles of beer on it and such.

I'd spend that money on 'thumb reduction surgery' for the two chaps who 'demoed' this bass in those videos.

Fine, you can slap, but what about the versatility of the bass?

[deefer_dog]

Rather than that, I'd buy a EBMM, and spend the remainder on some beers, and a new 3D TV. Yup.

I think very few consumers would agree with you, and re-selling the thing would be difficult.

I'm surprised anyone's still making these hideous 'singlecut' bass guitars to be honest. They all look awful. Like they've got a tumour.

[visog]

Never mind the looks, how does it sound? Then, how does it play?

Finally how does it balance? If it's as light as people are saying, it may neck dive?

I'm disappointed it doesn't have Damien's ramp.

I suspect it ticks all the boxes above.... (apart from the ramp)

Never buy anything that doesn't catch you aesthetically! Life is to short

If I was spending £2799 on a Skjold, it'd be the other one...

I have been away working for the past couple of days and just signed onto BC. I never expected this kind of reaction towards this bass!! LOL!!!

[Chris Horton]

it's not my kind of thing at all but i can really appreciate the work that has gone into creating it

[pierreganseman]

what ever ppl may think... skjold has managed to do unmistakable designs... you know straight away it's a skjold when you see one.. which is already quite an achievement in this ocean of jazz bass clone... sadly these basses have a low resale value (IMHO)... I bought mine ages ago for £900...

[grumble]

Its biggest selling point for me is that it looks nothing like a F*nd*r Pr*cIs*on so I'm already warming to it
Makes me want to form a Flintstones tribute band tho

[lojo]

Is it made of cheese?
