I recently bought this bass as listed in excellent condition. I will be fully transparent and list the bass as very good condition for a 13-year-old bass. For a bass of this age, it does have the expected dings on the body and there are some shallow dents on the 2nd, 3rd & 4th frets on the E, A & D strings (see photos in comments). These are minor cosmetic flaws and don't affect the playability or integrity of the bass at all. There are no cracks or structural damage of any kind. I just had the bass setup by my bass tech with a brand-new set of Skjold strings. Another brand-new set of Skjold strings is included as well.

Features:

• Weight = 7-1/2 pounds
• Swamp ash body
• 35” scale/ 19mm spacing/ 1.75” at the nut
• Hard rock maple neck/ maple fretboard w evo gold frets
• Hipshot bridge & Ultralight tuners
• Skjold soap bar pickups
• Custom Skjold/John East 3-band preamp
• Controls: Volume / Blend / Tone Control / Sweepable Mids (Stacked)/ Bass & Treble (Stacked) / Push-Pull Active/Passive knob

Includes:

• high-quality Protec gig bag with multiple storage pockets.
• Brand new set of Skjold Strings.

I thought that I would give this bass a shot because Skjold basses are fantastic instruments and have a great reputation. Plus, Pete is a great guy. Even though this bass plays and sounds amazing, that said it just isn't a Pedulla, which is what my heart truly wants (as you can tell by my username). I played a Thunderbass for 20+ years and sold it because I was part of a mass layoff at a factory that I worked at. My two daughters were young, and I had a family to support. I wasn't in a band at the time so, desperate times call for desperate measures, and I had to sell it. I've wanted another one ever since, and that was 11 years ago.

For Trades, as mentioned, I am only looking for another 4 or 5-string Pedulla. I prefer Thunderbasses, but may consider a Thunderbolt or MVP. I will definitely add cash to boot for a nice Pedulla.

Payment = Paypal & CONUS buyers only.
Thanks for looking!
