Traded - F/S F/T Roscoe SKB 3006
Here we go again, I wanted to hold on to it but its time to let go. F/S or F/TRoscoe SKB 3006 and great conditions with minor surface scratches from slapping and 2 or 3 small dings on the bottom edge of the bass. It was sent back to the Roscoe 8 months ago and had it adjusted, all electronics checked, cavity re shielded and ground’s reconnected. Action is low and it plays like a dream with that distinct killer Roscoe tone. I moving away from 35 scale basses, $1650 Split shipping / US only.
Have a Merry "Roscoe" Chritmas
The only trades I'm interested in are:
LEJ 5 or 6 string 34" scale with the newer electronics, classic or 24 fret model.

I accept Paypal E-Check and US Post money orders.

Spec's Are:
35' scale
18m String spacing
Quilt Maple top w/Cordovan finish
Swamp Ash body
3-Piece Maple/Purpleheart Neck
Spalted Purpleheart fingerboard
Bartolini 18v 3-band preamp P/P mid shift
Ivory nut

I have personally played this bass and it smokes. I may have to try and work something out with you because I loved this one.

Whazzup Bro! it's good to hear from you, I hope all is well. Thx for the vote of confidence, it is a great playing and sounding bass. The olny 35" scale I might keep is the white MTD 635 I had at the GTG.
Peace, JB

It's still not getting played Tom and deserves a good home, whazzup Bud? I hope everything is swinging in time.

How's that fantastic sounding bass with the funny (Skjold) name doing?
Peace, Will

Bump diddy

Wow! You don't see these much anymore under $2K

Great deal for IMO the best 6'er available!

If I hadn't just bought the new Roscoe 5 fretless I'd sure be tempted ............

BIGREDSIX · #12 12-15-2009, 12:33 PM

PM'd you......

SteveC · #13 12-15-2009, 09:22 PM

Damn. I'm debating a 6 right now. Never tried a Roscoe. How does a Purpleheart board sound?

Somewhere between rosewood and maple, a faster attack than RW and a little less on the bright side of maple IMO. Note are well defined high high C to low B, Roscoes have one the best playing most comfortable 6 six string neck hands down, the action is low with no buzz. If it were a 34" scale it wouldn't be4 sale.
Thx

I'm amazed this one is still available. VERY reasonable price on a top-notch instrument. I've got two SKB six-strings, and I gig them both regularly. Wonderful playing instruments - very well balanced, the string spacing is perfect, and the action is smoother than a bikini wax.

FWIW, one of mine has a spalted purpleheart board, and the sonic properties mentioned above are spot-on.

To me, this is classic Roscoe - sweet top with a trans finish that's just gorgeous, ash body and Bart electronics. If I didn't already have two keepers - and especially at this price - I'd be going crazy right now.

Good luck with the sale, and whoever lands this one is a lucky cat.

ethompson2 · #16 12-16-2009, 10:34 AM

^^^Believe me I am going crazy right now. I just cant get anyone to buy my Warwick for the life of me the day it sells will be the day I buy this.

CliffD · #17 12-16-2009, 10:36 AM

This bass is priced to be stolen! Wow!

SteveC · #18 12-16-2009, 11:14 AM

If I had an immediate gig for a 6 I'd get this. I went with a Sadowsky 5 instead. Very tough choice though.

jzbass6 · #19 12-16-2009, 10:13 PM

Thx 4 all the positive feedback guys.

line6bassist · #20 12-16-2009, 10:25 PM
