Details

I'm sticking with 4 string basses, so I have for sale my Skjold Lion's Pride model A (Jazz Bass style body) 5 string bass with custom ghost flame paint job. It's 35" scale and has a 2" nut. The body is black high-gloss polyester. The flame paint job was done for Pete Skjold by Mike DuSold in Lewisville, TX. As far as I know, this is the only bass he has ever painted. He is now very well known for his custom motorcycle paint jobs and has been featured on TV. The pickups are a Skold C4 and a Skjold SC1. The C4 is a 4-coil Precision/reverse Precision pickup that is switchable by the mini toggle. The SC1 is a hum-cancelling single coil pickup. The preamp has volume, pickup blend, master tone, bass, treble, mid and mid sweep controls. The tone contol is push/pull for active/passive and the treble control is push/pull for bright. The neck is 3 piece maple and the fingerboard is morado (pao ferro).
There are a few cosmetic issues. The back has a couple of little dimples in the clear coat. The upper horn has about a 1" shallow scratch (I photographed this as best I could). There is a piece of the clear coat missing on the front of the headstock, by the nut at the B string.
I'm asking $3500.00 OBO shipped 2nd Day Air.
I've had no luck uploading photos here, so the link to the photos is below:

I'm now selling the bass for best offer due to my wife's medical bills that are adding up. Hit me up if you're interested. Thanks, Ron

Fender style basses might not be the design Pete Skjold is best known for. But I am looking at a Lion’s Pride hanging on my office wall right now, so I can attest that these are very special basses. Impeccable build quality, truly perfect neck geometry, and a little something special in the sound make these their own thing in a sea of FSOs.

GLWS and I recommend anyone interested in a boutique 5 string jazz bass check this out.

Thanks Will! Pete makes some truly fine basses. I used to work for him part-time when he was still in Texas, and I remember working on one of your basses.
