FS: Skjold Custom '92

[moorebass]

Update: PRICE DROP - $2000 shipped!

I am selling my recently purchased Skjold Custom Offset '92 to make way for a custom build. I bought this bass in March from BIGREDSIX and his description was spot on so I will shamelessly copy/paste from his ad.

Specs:
Ash Body
Flame maple top / headstock
Bubinga fretboard
5 piece maple/Purpleheart neck
Zero fret
35" scale
18mm spacing
12" radius at the nut and 18" at the 24th fret
Skjold split coil pickups
Skjold/East preamp
Dunlop strap locks
~ 8 lbs (very very light and well balanced)






Ships in a padded Levy's gig bag also in mint condition.

This is a phenomenal, world class instrument in MINT condition. Pete Skjold told me that a new build with these options would run $4000. I am selling this one for $2000 shipped FedEx ground to anywhere in the lower 48 US. Paypal is the preferred method of payment.

oh man, i'm VERY tempted to try to sell my Skjold Custom 4 so I can grab this...

Bump

Purpleheart accent line - Mmmmm flames

Extremely low action - in fact this has been raised from what BIGREDSIX was using but there was no buzzing when the action was set even lower

Even more flames...and laundry

BUMP - Price Update!

[moorebass]

All PMs replied - some interesting trades thrown out there, but I am really looking for a cash deal

Check out what people are saying about this bass - it plays like butter and is probably the most versatile bass I've ever owned.

Gorgeous bass and these play extremely well - I have it's twin in dragon-burst. Nice price too.

+1, awesome basses.

[moorebass]

I've gotten several trade offers, but there are only a few things I'm looking for:

F-Bass BN5

Sadowsky NYC Vintage 5 Ash/Maple (+cash from me)

Millennia TD-1 (+cash from you)

Possibly an Accugroove El Whappo Jr or Bergantino AE410 (both +cash from you)

My first choice is still to sell this outright.

[p0k]

sure you don't want to add a Skjold Custom 4 or Valenti PJ5 to that list?

[moorebass]

I'm very surprised that Valenti is still here. That's a lot of bass for that price.

Monday bump

Wow, I just looked at all the pics of everyone playing this bass. She's so...used!

Great-looking bass with a seemingly very versatile pre. It has been running through my mind for a couple of days now, which usually means trouble.

Just wanted to reiterate that although there are pics of some famous talkbass players playing this bass, it is in MINT condition - In fact I cannot find a flaw on it and I'd say that's a tribute to BIGREDSIX taking such excellent care of the bass while he had it.

The sweepable mids and 4 position selector knob do make this bass very versatile. Position 2 (both pickups in series) is probably my favorite position because it is punchy as hell, but its always nice to go from nice fingerstyle punch to a great slap sound just by switching to position 3 (both pickups parallel).

If my wife would allow me to keep more than one bass at a time, this would definitely not be for sale.

[Shelly]

The pics definitely show an instrument in fantastic condition. The fact that so many TB'ers have great things to say is also a plus.

This bass is sold and headed to Michigan. Thanks everyone!
