SKJOLD BASSES // Drakkar & Skjoldslayer

[@tylernachtman]

Pete Skjold makes the finest basses on the earth. Ever since I stumbled across my first Skjold, I haven't looked back. I have custom ordered 3 from Pete and owned several more. He is the absolute best to work with on builds also.

[@marctherrien937]

I am very fortunate enough to own 2 Skjold Slayer 4's (one fretted and one fretless). I can tell you without a doubt these are hands down two of the finest instruments i have ever played. Pete was very easy to work with and delivered exactly what I was looking for. Simply outstanding!

[@LaValcoMuzikTV]

I own two Skjold Basses! They're so versatile.. I'm glad I made the switch! The feel, tone, and craftsmanship is mind-blowing! Definitely worth it!

[@t.j.meechan682]

I'm Ohio born and raised. I've only gotten my hands on one of these one time. Amazing basses overall. Gorgeous looks and perfect tone for my preferences. Thank you for shining a spotlight on these amazing pieces of gear. Best channel on KZbin for satisfying my G.A.S. Awesome review and demo Sir!

[@Low_Key_Bro]

Pete skjold is one of the most detail oriented and knowledgeable luthiers by far I have ever met! I have a couple of world class basses and Pete’s look and quality/craftsmanship is unparalleled! Every bass is built by hand and he overlooks absolutely nothing! The feel and sound is beyond anything I have ever played. I will absolutely be having another made by him! Soon! If you are looking for a high end bass you would be doing yourself a favour by considering Pete’s expertise! Absolute Perfection!! 😋

[@michaelmacisco2566]

Pete makes incredible basses. I have a Slayer 4 & 5 string. His basses are consistent , light , well balanced and stable . Its hard to get a bad tone. He is easy to work with and very personable. Worth every penny.

[@LohandfunkTube]

No doubt...Skjold basses are incredible! Pete Skjold is a great luthier. The demo was nice too!👍🏾Thanks for the kind mention🙏🏾 And I agree..These basses inspire you to play new ideas!👊🏾

[@biggils8894]

The sound of a bass guitar always relaxes me

[@VanceMusicStudios1]

I picked my Skjold Catacomb Drakkar 6/33 up last week, and all I can say is it is the most amazing bass I have ever played (and I've played a lot)! Very balanced and lush tone, fit and finish second to none, playability is perfect. A real pleasure to play, and a privilege to own. I have used it on a handful of gigs so far, and it has proven to be uber versatile and well as a head turner.

[@marksacchetti3673]

Great review! I have three Skjold's and can’t say enough about Pete’s work. You need to review one of his fretless basses! They’re incredible!

[@bentitusmusic]

I've got two of these basses- hands down the best instruments I've played and owned, worth every penny!

Where can we buy in US Florida?

[@robsmith5434]

That Skjold Slayer is a pretty much perfect bass. Absolutely incredible.

René's playing is sooo awesome and groovy

[@eringabrielle8932]

I hope you can feature elegee basses from the Philippines 😊 seeing Rene play it is a wish come true.

[@bak1386]

Skjold is def 1 of my dream basses. Would love to have a 4 string slayer built someday

[@trance9158]

Love these basses. That slayer bass is wikked and the versatility of the other is awesome.

Juhuuuu, endlich werden bei dir mal Skjold Bässe vorgestellt, TOP!! Die Teile gehören neben Torillo, Elrick und Adamovic zu meinen absoluten Traumbässen. Super Review und mega Präsentation vom René, chapeau!! ❤️👍👍👍

God I wish I could sit around playing high end basses like these boys do

[@halcyo]

Skjold’s workshop is about 2 hrs away from me in Ohio. Seems like I might need to check this guy out a little further!

[@Crushin123]

'not even slightly injured' spots... hahahahahah! Best basses IMO on the planet.

[@arkaroy213]

Rene is what you should call a bass hustler... He can hustle and sell me even a log of wood too... And here goes two more basses added to my wishlist... Sounds like a dream

[@reneflachsenhaar2968]

was a pleasure to hustle for you.

[@aaakzt-itsme]

i like the reviews, but there was no thunderbird review ever, even though its a common bass and a nice one too. make one please

I've never played one but from a lot of pics around the internet, the neck looks like _very_ thin. Are the string spacing very close or are they regular?

19mm, all regular

[@mileswilliams4807]

For me personally... most of these boutique basses are very ugly. Most of them sound great, play great, and take obvious talent to make. But they just don't do it for me. I'm more of a classic bass kind of guy I guess. That Sandberg Jazz bass you guys have is one of the best looking basses I've ever seen. Not knocking these basses... I'm sure they're damn good. Just not for me personally.

[@Bass.Player]

Talked all around the price but never actually said...

[@och70]

They give you a link to the Skjold website.

[@sheelded]

The more expensive Drakkar is 6600.00 USD and the Skjoldslayer is 5650.00 USD. Base Price on this model is 5000.00 for each.

[@fendtsfinest]

With all these options the Skjoldslayer costs 6.790,00 Euro and the Drakkar 6.990,00 Euro (all prices include German VAT). Back from the video studio they are available for testing in my shop again! These basses are worth every cent you'd spent! Feel free to contact me! [e-mail] www.fendtsfinest.com

Really…. mind giving us an example of a bass sound that isn’t bland to you?

[@cyril_jq]

actually agree. sounds like skjold has a natural high-mid boost that can sound bland when you don't need it

[@och70]

A neck wrap string mute? Come on, Rene is a better player than that!

[@basstheworldofficial]

Why wouldn't we use one for tapping, if it makes everything sound cleaner and better? We use lots of little helpers to get what we want, as everyone does - except you, probably.
