Skjold Damian Erskine Signature Series Bass!!

I am absolutely THRILLED to let you all know about something Pete Skjold and I have been working on behind the scenes for over a year now. Skjold designs will be releasing and custom building the Damian Erskine signature bass! This is the 6-string (although it will be available as 4,5,6,7…whatever you want. Completely custom built to order) that I have dreamed of… both in playability and tone. With an:
- extremely deep cutaway for 100% un-hindered access to the upper register
- over-wound pickups for a deep and rich tone
- brand new pickup mold design to incorporate the finger ramp into the pickup design (2 pickups in one pickup mold so ramp players will have a completely unified and comfortable setup)
- East pre-amps for complete tonal flexability, very stable design and neck for action as low as you want it.
-That coupled with some stunning good looks has seen my dream realized.

This first build has far exceeded my hopes and expectations… please enjoy some pix!
You can email myself or Pete through his website for more information regarding this beautiful instrument.

Damian is now on the board of advisors for a great new(ish) website for bassists. www.notreble.com

This site is already great but will be under-going some changes and will prove to be one fantastic site/resource for bassists. Check it out!!
(also check out my column there, “FAQ with Damian Erskine” where players can email questions for me to answer regarding all things musical!)
