The Official Skjold Club (Part 4)

Here are some pics of Pete's new 34" 5-string. Yes, it has already been sold, and yes, I'm bummed that this body wasn't turned into my 10-string, as originally planned. But yes, I'm sure Pete will hook me up with something equally great when we do crank out that 10-string.

Man, I'd love to try one of those big pickup offsets...

 

[BIGREDSIX]

That is forkin' sick/beautiful (reminds me of mine a bit). Is that maple on a mahogany body?

 

[bassplayer7770]

It's obvious that Pete is not a very versatile luthier. I mean, can't he make a bass that doesn't look stunningly gorgeous?!?!

 

[turbine]

Pete also suggested that I go with a 34" scale, and I told him to do what he thought would work best, so we'll see what I get. [/QUOTE]

Oooooh that is not good.....

It's not so bad-just order one, they go great with Thunderfunks!

Yes, spanish cedar is a wonderful tone wood. But then, so is primavera, as I'm finding out......

 

[Basso Gruvitas]

Pete, congratulations on an absolutely stunningly gorgeous bass!

If that was an unlined fretless you would have to call the paramedics and have them zap me with the paddles and get my heart going again!

 

[82Daion]

Wait wait wait... did I miss something? Is Pete doing 34" scale on 5'ers now???

And 6'ers, too!

I just got a good chunk of change to pay off my bass-now, if I can get my STR sold, I'll be in good shape.

That new 5 is stunning, doubly so considering the similarity to my bass...

EDIT: Does that 5'er have 26 frets, or am I just seeing things?

 

[Pete skjold]

Yes it has 26 frets , and so will your fretless ( all fretless 34" )

Necks and fingerboards have been glued up . They are looking good ,

Um, Pete, you might want to hold off on installing those 26 frets on Chris' fretless...

Sorry, bud. I owed you one!

 

[Pete skjold]

HAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!............HAHAHAHA!!

Yeah that is pretty funny

Yeah from now on all fretless basses get frets , it's a new idea but I think it will catch on

 

[cardboardJoe]

it would make intonation so much easier.....

New fingerboard pic. The other one that was picked out had some issues that may have caused some problems in the future. Thanks Pete for putting so much into your basses. The original is below and the new is glued up on the neck on the top.

 

[Pete skjold]
