Up for sale/trade is my Roscoe Century Standard 5. As much as I like this bass, the tone is a bit too similar to my other basses for my liking. Aside from that, the bass is fantastic. It's in great condition with low action. Standard Roscoe 35" scale/18.3mm spacing.
Sale price/trade value is $1600 (+ shipping for a sale).
Updated trade interests in post #15. 
Feel free to PM me if you have any questions.

| | Registered User | | Join Date: Oct 2001 Location: Niagara Falls, ON, Canada | | | This is true. The bridge is close but the neck pickup on the Roscoe is a lot closer to a P-bass position.
Someone should scoop this up. Century Standards are such a good value. |

PMs sent to you both. |

I just bought a jazz-ish 5, so for a trade I'd mainly be looking for something like a Birdsong or some other shorter scale 4 string. Might entertain offers for other unique 4s or 5s of equal or lesser value.

02-17-2012, 11:03 AM
| | Supporting Member | | Join Date: Jan 2008 Location: Winston-Salem, NC | | | The serial number is A009. It has Bartolini CB pickups and a 3 band Bartolini preamp.
Let me know if you have any more questions! |
