FS Roscoe LG 2005

Ok, I messed up! I bought a new Roscoe bass without asking for permission from my wife. First let me say my wife is awesome and for the most part it is never a big deal if I spend money so I figured I would ask for forgiveness instead of permission. Let's just say Mrs. Crash was not real happy

Well I thought I had gotten away with the crime until Mrs. Crash asked me the dreaded question, "Which one are you going to sell to offset the cost of your new bass"? Not only that, she said she did a little research and even gave me the price I need to put on the two basses, yes two! I couldn't decide which one to sell, so she said list them both and see which one sells first. So with much pain, here we go.

Roscoe LG2005
Gotoh Tuners
Hipshot "A" Bridge
Top – Exhibition Quilt Maple - Upgrade
Fingerboard – Cocobolo/Spalt/Sapwood
Body – Northern Ash
Pickups - Basslines
Preamp 3 band Bartolini w/3 position switch I believe 250/500/800
Case - Roscoe older protect fitted case (has wear and tear)
Scale - 35"
String Spacing - 18.3mm
Nut width (overall) - 1.75"
Weight - 9.4 lbs

This is a really nice sounding bass with nice lows and highs and plenty of growl to be dialed in. The Bartolini preamp sounds really good with these pickups and delivers a wide variety of tone from modern to old school. This bass does have a couple bumps and bruises and I would rate it an 8-10 because there is some rash on the back that didn't show up in the photo.

Ok, to the hard part, I am asking $1700 neg. shipped FedEx Ground in ConUS. Outside the US, PM me for payment and shipping options.

If I was looking to trade, I got some cool offers, but alas, one of the two has to be sold.

If your wife played bass to then you wouldn't have to sell any of them. Bump for a great looking bass.

Amen brother, she hears me practice and she only hears the bass line so it sounds so boring to her. I told her I will start cranking up the music I am practicing to from now on.

Get a 5 string Roscoe at a fraction of the cost of a new one!
