|  | Registered User | | Join Date: Jun 2005 Location: Fairbanks, Alaska | | | Roscoe Century 6 Buckeye! 34" scale! FT!
Custom ordered Roscoe Century Buckeye with custom 34" scale as seen below. Wenge Fingerboard and Wenge center laminate. Stock Bart electronics with push/pull mid switch.  http://www.rocketmusic.net/cgi-bin/c...ction&key=4960
This plays beautifully and is very comfy for a her, really took no time to adjust to this at all. Very deep sounding bass with a prominent vocal quality to the miss, reminiscent of a Warwick... maybe it's the wenge, I dunno but it's sweet.
Very nice bass, light weight and well balanced, Just unsure of the whole 6 thing so I want to see what's out there. Brand new Nickel D'Addario set strung D-F (.110-.020)
Looking for 5ers or maybe a nice 4 banger. Zon, Sadowsky, Spector, Warwick, USA Lakland.

Also have Warwick Vampyre Limited Edition 4 but would need some extra value.
Bongo Dargie Delight 5?

| | Registered User | | Join Date: Jun 2005 Location: Fairbanks, Alaska | | | Surprising amount of great offers. It is currently strung D-F just because I could honestly. I'll put it back to "normal" before shipping. Kind of neat to have the top end in piccolo range, especially with the way the bass is voiced.
Can add cash towards a MTD OR USA Sadowsky. |

Back up and thanks everyone for your interest. |

| | Registered User | | Join Date: Nov 2004 Location: Grand Forks, North Dakota | | | I noodled around on a Schecter 6 at a store today. I wonder if I sold my Roscoe 6 too soon. The Schecter B string stunk, but the overall feel was kind of nice. I think my wife would kill me if I bought a 6 again after seling my custom made Roscoe 6.
Still that great Roscoe B string even at 34" scale??? | | Thread Tools | Search this Thread | | | |
