Beautiful Skjold 5 string
Skjold pups
Deluxe Skjold/East preamp
Ash body, spalted maple top, rosewood board, wood knobs
Nearly mint just two small dings at the bottom of the instrument invisible from the front (pictured)
8.4 lbs
Plays great, sounds great, I believe 18 mm spacing. Im just favoring my ash/rw Nordy so one has to go. If I wasnt paying unexpected bills this would stay.

It's a very rare case, maybe even the only one, with chrome hardware (plus I recognize that top). NICE bass. |

Bass is on hold with a deposit till Monday. If youre seriously interested contact me and Ill start a queue if it falls through. |

This is a great bass I should have never sold it, since then it has made it's rounds and has dropped in price quite a bit. If it were in my budget, I would buy it back. Good luck with the sale.

Im pretty sure your pictures were better as the lighting here in AZ was kinda subdued due to clouds and I didnt want to use a flash due to the shiny finish 
It really is a great bass and I cant say enough kind words about Pete and his products. Unfortunatley personal reasons are dictating the sale |

Bottom line, this is a RARE Skjold. |

|  | Registered User | | Join Date: Feb 2007 Location: Santa Fe, NM | | | Wow, what a crazy thread. I can't believe that this bass is up for so cheap, as Pete's work is just heroic. It's an utter steal at this price, I'd never sell either of mine this low... |

Adrian did spec this bass with chrome, but I found an old message where he said it was actually not originally intended to be his personal instrument... I thought for sure it was. Either way, it's still the case that Paul was the first one to officially own it.
...funny... I thought for sure I spoke to Adrian a while back and it was gonna' be his... oh well... |
