| The stage series is the most affordable line as a result of having trimmed away all the options that can add to the cost of the bass, while not affecting its tone or playability. These basses are still completely handmade by Pete Skjold, the same way he builds all his basses. To keep the cost down on these, a very limited number of options are available and are limited to the electronics, pickups and color.

| Body
Two-piece body of select premium tone woods including swamp ash, African mahogany, and obeche.
