flychris Posted May 24, 2010 Posted May 24, 2010 I already have a skjold 4, same shape ... but with the old electronic (EMG) If only it could be a fiver ... Arghhh, I could be tempted... (is it the right word ?)
paulie Posted May 24, 2010 Author Posted May 24, 2010 The electronics on this are amazing, so many options and sounds that you can coax from it. The bass has a 35" scale like a 5 string but it has a lovely slim neck and its really light. Pete Skjold is quite proud of this particular bass. He has pics of it on his website. Go on, treat yourself
flychris Posted May 25, 2010 Posted May 25, 2010 No could be only for a swap at the moment. So I'll pass

paulie Posted May 30, 2010 Author Posted May 30, 2010 Some interesting offers but this bass is still available
paulie Posted June 12, 2010 Author Posted June 12, 2010 Bump for a price drop! Great chance to own a lightweight boutique bass with a versatile preamp
paulie Posted June 16, 2010 Author Posted June 16, 2010 Any offers out there for this unique custom US bass??????? before I take it out of retirement and off the for sale list!
paulie Posted June 21, 2010 Author Posted June 21, 2010 Quick bump before this one hits Ebay It honestly is a beautiful bass but I own a Chris Larkin with the exact same preamp and it sounds similar so I dont need two custom basses in my collection Cheers Paulie
paulie Posted July 5, 2010 Author Posted July 5, 2010 Bump for a further price drop to £1100! I have also added a photo from the Skold website of my bass.

[/quote] This really is a beautiful custom bass, rare, light and with great playability and great tones available from the East Preamp! Thanks

Flanker Posted July 6, 2010 Posted July 6, 2010 Absolutely! These are GREAT basses and this one looks amazing! Seriously if you haven't played one of these and are looking for a bargain buy this......I have a five string and it is still here a keeper when I have moved on Alleva Coppolo/Celinder/Roscoe/Sadowsky etc!!!
paulie Posted July 6, 2010 Author Posted July 6, 2010 Yeah, thanks guys. They really are great basses, huge array of sounds from the preamp but all good. And the neck is skinnier than my jazz bass, flatter and faster! All this in a bass that weighs in at sub 8lbs! (WHY AM I SELLING !!!!)
paulie Posted July 13, 2010 Author Posted July 13, 2010 Bump for the final price drop before I trade this puppy in
