4, 5, 6-string · Bolt-on
Classic series - one of Skjold's longest-running designs and the David Dyson signature (the 'Dyson Wyvern'), his main bass since 2007. The documented signature is a 35-inch-scale swamp-ash bolt-on with maple neck and board, Hipshot bridge and Ultralite tuners, Skjold soapbar pickups, and a Skjold/John East 3-band preamp with stacked sweepable mids and active/passive switching - voiced from an almost-fretless tone to hardcore funk. Handmade in the USA by Pete Skjold. Build tiers: Stage 4700/4900/5100, Exotic 5500/5700/5900, Estate 8300/8500/8700 (4/5/6-string).
