Skjold Basses

Driving home from yet another Gear dropoff I stopped in at BassDirect to see Mark and his brand new arrivals! A flock of Skjolds. Beautiful!

We got out a Berg AE410 and a Markbass F1 to try them out. :)

They are great looking basses - all 6 lined up on stands looking fantastic.
Another big plus for me is the weights, all weighing between 8 to a bit over 9 lbs very comfy.

Playability is excellent on all these basses with the East/Skjold preamp of different variety's allowing wide tonal choice. I prefer basses to have a percussive feel and a nice slap tone and all these definitely fit the bill in that area.

Suffice to say I ended up buying one on the spot so if that's not a recommendation what is. Mark is planning to take a few to the BassBash this weekend where I predict these will be a big hit.

Hi Ped

I bought the '92 Sepele top with maple fingerboard. I had my eye on the Offset Walnut top one but this just sounded a bit darker which I prefer and has a great 'pop' tone!

Maybe take a bit of getting used to the look but I now prefer these shapes to the Jazz type. Check out the tops on the Exotic and also my favourite top on the Lions Pride with Morado fingerboard - Amazing!!

I am selling a load of stuff though and I think I will end up with this Skjold,FBass and a Roscoe fretless 5 strings and my '82 Precision with flats.( For a while anyway :) )
