Sign in to disble this ad
Below is from the Bass Central site where I purchased it from in March this year. At that time I paid $3344.00. The price has gone up since then as these basses are in demand. The description below is the bass up for sale. Attached below are two pics from the BC site as well.
Roscoe SKB 3006 Black-Gold Stain Exhibition Grade Quilt Maple Top Over Swamp Ash Body, Maple/Purpleheart Neck w/Bird's Eye Maple Fingerboard, Bartolini Humbuckers & Audere 4 -Band EQ, DiamondWood Nut, Black Hardware, Case. $5195/Sale $3896 Delivered!
In July I ordered and had installed the Glockeklang preamp ($140.00 + $100.00 pro install) which has totally transformed the sound of the bass and opened it up.
I will send the Audere preamp with the bass. You will have 2 preamps to choose from.
PRICE DROP $2200.00 BUYER PAYS S&H
NO Paypal. Personal check, USPS money orders, cashiers check. All will clear before shipping.
CONUS only.
Trades: 5 Strings only.
Lakland 55-94
Roscoe 5
Sadowsky 5
Others will be considered.[/b]
There are two issues to mention.
On the tuning posts the gold plating began to flake off in small bits. I made contact with Gard at Roscoe who made contact with Hipshot. Within just a few days I had a new set of tuners at my door. We discussed and I opted for black posts on the tuners instead of gold. IMHO they look much better.
Now just a couple of days ago I noticed that the gold plating on the saddles is beginning to do the same thing. Once again I made contact with Gard who is making contact with Hipshot. I can only expect the same professional and courteous response.
I will post the before and after pics later today.

I would love to have an ash maple to go with my two spanish cedar bodied SKB, as well as the extra Audere. Good luck with the sale. Sorry to see you have to move such fantastic gear. I use Epi/Roscoe as well. |

| | Registered User | | Join Date: Mar 2005 Location: Lake Charles, LA | | | Here are pics of the gold plated saddles where the plating is flaking off. It is almost un-noticable. One is on the b and the other on the c.
The others appear to be fine. I expect Hipshot to come thru with new saddles as they did with the tuners.

When you changed the pre, what then happened to the mini switch hole? Did you just cap it off or did you put a dummy switch in it's place. etc?

It is a beautiful bass...everyone who sees it makes those comments. I will admit that gold is not my pref on hardware but the playability and feel of this bass are what really got me hooked.

| | Registered User | | Join Date: Mar 2005 Location: Lake Charles, LA | | Thanks guys for all the PM's ...there is alot of interest for this one. Continue to shoot me offers.
Just to clarify I am looking to seel this bass or trade + cash from you. This whole sale is due to a financial glitch at home. When it sells I will be without a bass and I do need one, hence the trade+cash.
Oh yea bump to the top
