| FS Feeler - Roscoe SKB3006
Sign in to disble this ad
Roscoe #4063 has been my main axe since I bought it in the 90's, and I can't believe I'm selling it, so this is just a feeler. This is one of the good 'uns.
Spanish Cedar body
Cocobolo top
Maple neck with Purple Heart stringer
Ebony fingerboard
The Best B String I Have Ever Heard
Black Hipshot hardware
Upgraded with:
Aguilar OBP1 preamp (I always get the -1 and the -3 mixed up - anyway it's the 2-band)
Nordstrand Big Splits
She's no case queen. The black Hipshot bridge is worn through to the brass from years of gigs. Two screws cover the holes where a GK pickup once was (and certainly could be again...). One of the original Hipshot tuners was replaced by a closely matching Hipshot but it's not 100% identical. But she's *magnificent* sounding with and hundreds of gigs and dozens upon dozens of albums behind her.
The ebony fingerboard gives the top end a transparent, bell-like clarity, with plenty of weight below; this bass was made to play chords. Will ship in an original lightweight Roscoe case which is in "worn" condition - some of the piping is starting to pull loose etc.
$2200 shipped Canada/CONUS. Only trades considered would be fretted 6'ers, chiefly MTD or FBass. The only reason I'm doing this is to push myself out of my comfort zone and I reserve the right to change my mind and pull this ad at any time if I come to my senses before a buyer emerges.
More pix available upon request.
