For Sale - Century Standard 5 String Fretted Bass. Black Onyx Swamp Ash body with Maple neck and finger board.
Only, and I mean only reason I am selling this bass is because I have 2 other Roscoe basses and a Modulus Q5. This was my first Roscoe purchased from G Guitars in New Haven,CT in September 2009 and has only been gigged out with 8-10 times. No dings or blemishes of any kind. Plays like a dream, only problem is that I have too many basses and only so many gigs.
Comes with Roscoe gig bag (original) and is strung with SIT Rock Bright Nickels. $1,600 - shipped in Conus.
Specs as follows:
Roscoe Century Standard 5 String Fretted Black Onyx
Maple Neck / FB
Swamp Ash Body
Bartolini Pick ups - Classic Bart
Bartolini NTMB Pre amp w/ treble, bass and push-pull mid (standard Roscoe config.)
Dunlop Strap Locks
18 mm String Spacing (I believe)
Wt- 9.0 lbs
Ultra light weight satin chrome tuners
Hipshot "A" style bridge - satin chrome
Pics:    
Check, Money Order or Paypal. Anyone in MA can hook up with me to play her if interested.
Thanks for looking and feel free to PM me with any questions.

| | Well, Ahoy Paloi | | Join Date: Sep 2009 Location: Cape Cod, MA | | | Hey drdunwoody, if you want I can try to email you better pics. The body is all Swamp Ash and I believe they use a light oil to "enhance the grain". Fabulous finish, easy to keep clean and really cool to the eyes. I have it's twin as a fretless and I am not selling that!
Let me know if you want the pics emailed and if you have any questions, be happy to obllige.
Thanks for the kind words fellow R'heads - y'all make my head swell! |

Owner: LilRay's Leatherworks | | Join Date: Dec 2007 Location: Between my Roscoe and Leather | | drdunwoody, The finish is a Satin Gloss. It doesn't shine, but it doesn't have the softness or the maintenance of oil. The grain enhancement is done with a chemical that attacks the raised grain and turns it white.
You won't find a better value in a modern 5 string. Everything is USA made, and all the woodwork is done in house in Greensboro, N.C.
God Bless, Ray

WHO DAT!

If you're going to have a black bass, this is the one! |
