I acquired this bass recently purely because Pete Skjold makes fantastic basses and this is one of his finest. However, although I knew it was a 35" scale, I was seduced by its blue beauty. Unfortunately, I am not quite comfortable with the scale and as my arms aren't going to grow any more it may be time to pass this lovely bass onto someone who can caress her comfortably ;o) It's a 2005 model built by Pete Skjold for a major company at a guitar show in the US. It's an ash body with a flame maple top and a beautiful blue tint. The neck is a bolt-on, 24 fret, maple with purpleheart stringers and a rosewood fingerboard, 38mm at top nut. The pick-ups are a Skjold design and, combined with the top of the range pre amp, provide a very wide range of tones. The slimline neck is simply gorgeous to play, the notes simply ring with great sustain. The bass has been really well looked after at was up for sale at the Bass Gallery for £1400. The only sign of wear is on the neck pick-up under the 'E' string, where a visible mark on the pup can be seen at close range. Other than that there isn't a mark of any note, no dings, dents or scratches. The fingerboard has a beautiful grain and shows no sign of wear at all. When I acquired the bass I had it professionally set-up, cleaned, electronics checked, and new strings. Given the initial cost of the bass, shipping and set-up, I'm asking [b]£895 [/b], which I think is a bargain! It comes with a decent gig bag (no hard case). I might be persuaded to consider a trade - you never know!

[quote name='arpi' post='1272749' date='Jun 17 2011, 01:54 PM']Hello, very nice. How much does it weigh? Cheers Arpi[/quote] The bass is approximately 9lbs. That's comparing it to my other basses for which I know the precise weight (I haven't any scales to check for the exact weight).

I'm getting giddy going up and down and up again - anyway, last bump for now. I'm not dropping the price anymore, it is what it is and a lot of bass for not a lot of money.

Bargain price of £775 (which is what the bass owes me). It's well worth this kind of money - if I needed another 6 string I'd be keeping this one as it plays like a dream and has a great range of tones. Loads of tone for your buck!

Whoops, I was on page three and I'm not that type of bass! However, if you're interested do take a peek ;o))

The sun has got his hat on... But I'm stuck inside working - oh hum. Need to move this on so hit me with offers or trades.

Any interest at all?

Good Morning, rise and shine. Now might also consider trades.

Two hours are up! Back to £825.

Two hour price drop then back up to original price.

Hello Weekend BuMp!

I'm not exactly certain of the precise date as Jon never puts a serial number on his basses. However, the approximate year of production is late 2007.

Decided to do a special price until Monday - it's now £825. That's got to be a good deal for a bespoke bass!

Hey ho and up she rises...! Tempt me with an offer?

BuMp cos I seem to have fallen off the bottom of the page ;o)))

Here's a lovely Shuker 6 String lined fretless that I accepted in part-exchange recently. It's a Through neck deluxe +, Neck is maple and paduak, EMG pups and shuker 3 band preamp - all the technical spec here: It's been completely set-up with new Rotosound Flatwound strings and sounds amazing! The combination of the Shuker EQ with the EMG's gives you so much tonal range! The body is fairly narrow making it very comfortable to play and weighs much less than most other 6 strings that I've played. The body wood looks like Ovangkol - not absolutely certain - but it has a beautiful flame effect, particularly when the light catches it. There is very little fingerboard wear and the only defects are three very, very slight marks on the headstock, which doesn't show on any pictures I've tried to take. Overall, a great bass from a Master luthier.

Reluctantly putting my very recent purchase of this lovely bit of Shuker craftsmanship up for grabs. Why? Long story but suffice to say needs must... It has a very slim neck depth making it extremely comfortable to play for a 6 string - one of the best neck profiles I've come across. The range of tones on offer are amazing Soundclip here: [url="http://www.shukerguitars.co.uk/art%20pro%206.mp3"]http://www.shukerguitars.co.uk/art%20pro%206.mp3[/url] Technical spec is Amboina figured drop top on a chambered body (making for a very light bass), composite fretboard, 34" scale, 5 piece laminate neck, Gotoh tuners, two way truss rod, edge markers on fingerboard (it all helps!), under saddle piezo pick-up, and it's set up with black tape-wound strings which are great to play and really do give that double bass feel and sound with the correct EQ settings.

Good morning y'all type of bump ;o)

Looking to sell my immaculate Studio 110. DEtails from Line 6: [url="http://line6.com/lowdownstudio110/"]http://line6.com/lowdownstudio110/[/url] It's only been used in my home studio for teaching and dusted regularly ;o) The settings are all as they were from the factory and it will be posted in the original Line 6 box. I estimate that postage will be in the region of £15 - any more and I'll stand the cost of the extra. So, I'm asking [b]£110[/b] for this great bit of kit.

Easy to use, easy to programme, good range of useable sounds for a good price! For an overview of the unit: [url="http://www.noiseguide.com/product_info/korg_toneworks_modeling_signal_processor_ax10b"]http://www.noiseguide.com/product_info/kor...processor_ax10b[/url] The unit has been used but it's in good condition, everything works and it comes with its own power supply - it can run on batteries too and lasts for ages. I haven't gigged the unit as it's been used in my home studio. I'm looking for [b]£45 inc postage[/b] to UK mainland.
