Up for sale is my Skjold Custom 5 (offset '92). This is a sweet bass with some serious tone, but it's just not getting enough playing time and needs a good home. This bass is in mint condition.
The specs are :
>> body = medium weight swamp ash
>> FB = morado
>> neck = 3-pc maple
>> top is crotch grafted English walnut/claro walnut. Pickups
>> are Skjold customs and the preamp is the deluxe East. 35" scale and right at 9lbs.
$3100 + shipping. The only trades I'm interested in are Sadoswky NYC 5, LowEnd J5/J6, MTD535/635, or Roscoe's.    |

I have a rehearsal tonight and then a few shows coming up this week. Now don't get me wrong, the tone and the craftsmanship on this bass is the best I've every had. I'm just trying to deal with the string spacing. |

Just checking if this was the same.

| Kuna, so it sounds like you have some specific string space requirements in mind. Do you want tighter or wider than 18mm?
