****PICS DOWN BELOW - POST #15!****
I am selling a killer Roscoe LG 2005. Really amazing instrument! SOLD
*Gorgeous bookmatched feather walnut top (and matching headstock)
*Mahogany body
*Beautiful multi-laminates between top and body!
*Bartolini pickups and 3-band Bart preamp with push/pull mids
*Maple fingerboard - NO fret buzz or dead spots!
*Maple/purpleheart neck (maple has some flame in it)
*BRAND NEW Tomastik hexcore strings installed
*Roscoe soft/hardshell case
"Balanced" is how I would describe this bass! Balance between the deep smooth mahogany and the upper snap of the maple fingerboard. Also, balances well on your shoulder.
ABOUT 9 pounds weight.
Very minor "brush" scratches on the top of the headstock and VERY minor swirling on body under G string. No dings or bumps.
SOLD

Bump for a killer deal and an A+++ TB'er. I really like the contrast between the walnut top and the mahogany body!
I suspect that the maple finger board and walnut top really add some snap & definition to the tone of this bass.
I thought that I'd seen the last of the Roscoe's for sale below $2K.........Great price on a nice Roscoe in tough economic times!  |

You're right Joe - the maple/walnut mixed with the mahogany body make a very articulate even-sounding instrument.
And many of you may know what I'm talking about here >>> I have a love/hate relationship with maple fingerboards. I love the tone, but it's SO hard to find one with no deadspots!
THIS bass has no deadspots...and no fret buzz!

If you have never seen a Roscoe in person, pictures will never do the bass any justice. So if the pictures look nice, wait until you get the bass to your house! |

walnut/maple pin stripe/flame maple/black mahogany body
Very classy in person because the neck also has flame in the maple.

BTW what part of the metroplex are you in? I grew up in Oak Cliff, East Dallas and Arlington areas.
God Bless, Ray
