Another new Skjold!!!!!!

Tom, your blueburst is one of the coolest bursts I have ever seen, but I'm with you, this whaleback is amazing.

I just have a little reservation as far as upper register access. It seems that it would take a huge reach to hit those 21 and up frets to chord in.

It's beautiful nontheless. :cool:

Hi Vic,

I suppose "Reach" is'nt the right word, maybe Shift would be a better term.

Keep in mind, that I have never played a single cut, so I am just giving an uneducated perception as to why I haven't made the leap into one yet.

I am VERY happy to be wrong in this. Between your vids of your walnut, and Joe's whaleback, I am having DT's.:D

I just got a new Roscoe last week, and didn't expect to have G.A.S. this soon. :)

I have to say that these look and sound amazing.

I'm still unsure what you're getting at, as there's no difference in playability between the single-cut and the regular double cutaway.

I was thinking maybe you were talking about the 35" scale, but you said you play a Roscoe, so that can't be it... and it's also a 24 fret bass, so that can't be it...

Don't get me wrong, either, I don't mean to seem like I'm hammering you on some kind of minor detail, I'm just dying of curiosity about what you're getting at... that's all. Sorry if it's obvious and I'm just too darn thick to "get it". :)

I know what he is thinking. He is thinking that the block heel starts where the "no-cut" meets the neck.

AAAAaaaaaah, ok, that makes huge sense... of course it's not true tho! :)

Here's a pic showing how cool Pete's design is on this...

Thanks Vic,

A picture is worth a thousand gas pains. :D

Human bass had it right, my assumption was that the heel began at the top of the body horn, and that if that was the case, that would be quite a reach.

Similar to an upright upper register. But Pete has a pretty slick set up there.:)

Thanks for clearing it up for me. :confused:

Wait a minute, what am I thanking you for, you may have just cost me several thousand bucks!! :D


Thanks anyway. ;) :bassist:
