flychris Posted May 24, 2010 Share Posted May 24, 2010 I already have a skjold 4, same shape ... but with the old electronic (EMG) If only it could be a fiver ... Arghhh, I could be tempted... (is it the right word ?) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paulie Posted May 24, 2010 Author Share Posted May 24, 2010 The electronics on this are amazing, so many options and sounds that you can coax from it. The bass has a 35" scale like a 5 string but it has a lovely slim neck and its really light. Pete Skjold is quite proud of this particular bass. He has pics of it on his website. Go on, treat yourself Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

paulie Posted June 21, 2010 Author Share Posted June 21, 2010 Quick bump before this one hits Ebay It honestly is a beautiful bass but I own a Chris Larkin with the exact same preamp and it sounds similar so I dont need two custom basses in my collection Cheers Paulie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flanker Posted July 6, 2010 Share Posted July 6, 2010 Absolutely! These are GREAT basses and this one looks amazing! Seriously if you haven't played one of these and are looking for a bargain buy this......I have a five string and it is still here a keeper when I have moved on Alleva Coppolo/Celinder/Roscoe/Sadowsky etc!!!

paulie Posted July 6, 2010 Author Share Posted July 6, 2010 Yeah, thanks guys. They really are great basses, huge array of sounds from the preamp but all good. And the neck is skinnier than my jazz bass, flatter and faster! All this in a bass that weighs in at sub 8lbs! (WHY AM I SELLING !!!!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
