Near-pristine 5-string fretted Roscoe SKB 3005 for sale. I bought this bass brand new only 3 months ago but, as we all know what's going on in the economy, I'm not immune from its affects.  Thus, painfully, I have to part with this beauty...
Description:
Unique single-piece swamp ash body
Maple / purpleheart neck
Pau Ferro fretboard
Bartolini pickups
Bartolinin preamp
This is a lightweight, well balanced bass (around 8.8 pounds) that plays and sounds like you'd expect from a Roscoe. IMO, the one-piece body lends itself to a more open and organic tone. There is one small nick near one of the neck bolts, which I attempted to capture in one of the attached pictures. Other than that, this bass is completely flawless and pristine.
Priced to move quickly at $1,600. Sorry, no trades. Buyer pays shipping.    
Paypal only.

I'll bet she's got a nice growl! |

I wish my wife would let me buy it, but she said three Roscoe basses is enough.  This is a chance for some lucky person to pickup a boutique hand crafted bass for less than half the price of a new one. |
