Looks fine, have no idea about sound of Skjold.
Does it have active/passive switching?

Yes - pull switch on knob to go passive. Skjolds have tone for die for and this is no exception.

bump for a killer Skjold...

Nut width? Thanks.

Oh My..GLWS

Bump!

Does split coils mean single coil+one dummy coil for noise cancelling or humb/single switchable? Any video links to similar bass playing?

Split-coil pickups are basically double coil pickups split apart. This is what you see on Fender Precision basses. Instead of one double-coil underneath all 4 strings, the pickups are split in two — each under one pair of strings.

Yes, sorry, forgot to include that, definitely one or the other. Probably will be a hard case but will have to check under the house to see what I have. I do not have the original, though.

Price drop to $1800 shipped! Let's move this bass.

I've been asked if there are any cosmetic issues. These pics were taken by me this evening and hopefully will help answer that question.

The only flaws I can find under the bright lights are two small pinhead size dings on the lower bout and next to the lower straplock on the edge. They are only visible under close examination and are quite superficial. Neither will photograph. Some of the pics have what looks a little like finish hazing, but those are reflection artifacts since I had to take the pics indoors under can lights - those do not represent actual finish flaws. There's a little bit of string change wear on the black bridge as well, which is shown in one pic.

Neck is straight, action low, and frets in great shape. I've encountered no functional issues - sounds great!

Hope that helps.
