    This is a truly beautiful bass from, IMO, one of the most amazing luthiers out there. It convinced me to order a fretless Lion's Pride from Pete! Unfortunately, that means there's no room for this one.

    It's got a mahogany body, flamed maple top, ebony board, and Pete's amazing SC-1 split-coil pickups with the newer vol/blend/3-band Skjold/East custom pre, which IMO is one of the most versatile preamps on the market. The bass is in outstanding condition and ships in its original, extremely nice gig bag.

    Looking for $2100 shipped in the lower 48. Price is negotiable. May consider trades.

    Pics below; first the stock pics from Pete, and then my pics with its newer black hardware:

    My bathroom scale reads in 0.5-lb increments, and it puts the weight at 9.5 lbs. String spacing is 19mm at the bridge and two inches at the nut.

    Sorry, no sound clips.

    Kotzman had sound clips at one time. This bass sounds great. I wish I could have kept it. I say that about all of them though:D

    I just wanted to bump this and add that there is nothing wrong with this bass, it is a steal at 2200.00. If you were to order this bass today you would be quoted a price of 3880.00. The seller has already put down a deposit on another custom Skjold, so that should tell you something. I personally set this bass up very recently and it played like a dream and had that J vibe in a modern bass. If anyone is wondering about this bass they can always PM me and I will answer any questions.

    Wow, lots of interest yesterday! All PM's replied. Cash is still king, but I've had a few enticing trade offers, and I'd like to see what else is out there for another couple of days before I make my decision.
