loudandclear Posted October 21, 2009 Share Posted October 21, 2009 (edited) I took this bass in a trade a while ago from a fellow basschatter with the intention of selling it on. I have however kept it far longer than I anticipated simply because it is such a great bass. Have recently taken a few financial hits so now have to shift a few things, reluctantly this is one. It is a 2004 Exotic Custom built by Pete Skjold to show off his bass building tallents at various guitar shows and as such has the very best of both materials and craftmanship. The body is spalted beech, the neck is 7 piece maple and purple heart laminated, the fingerboard is Bocote (an upgrade) the electrices are active EMG's. This really is a bass of exceptional quality both in terms of looks, build and sound. It is very light (8.2 lbs) and very well balanced and a joy to play. This actual bass is featured on the skold web site. One very small issue is that I was going to put on different strap locks and had drilled a hole in the end of the bass to do this before realising just how very good the recessed strap locks on it are. Obviously doesnt affect anything (see photos) - other than this the bass is 9.9/10 condition - the only other small ding I can see does not show up on the camera. Looking for £1250 including delivery in uk - elsewhere pm me (no hard case but will have padded gig bag and be packed accordingly) I do need to shift this though so I am open to sensible offers. Many thanks [attachment=34889:DSC01468.JPG] [attachment=34890:DSC01470.JPG] [attachment=34891:DSC01472.JPG] [attachment=34892:DSC01480.JPG] [attachment=34893:DSC01483.JPG] [attachment=34894:DSC01485.JPG] Edited October 30, 2009 by loudandclear Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
