Roscoe Century Signature 5 - For Sale

[Jay78]

SOLD

Thanks everyone for your interest.


Up for sale is my beautiful Roscoe Century Signature 5 with an amazing Spalted Purpleheart maple fretboard that has a beautiful reddish streak on Purpleheart. I am the original owner and the bass is in excellent condition - very clean. This Roscoe has the upgraded Diamondwood nut and the distinctive growl of the bass is just great. Also mellows out nicely with the Bart pre amp.

New Year's price drop to $2200 from $2350 plus shipping CONUS

The Roscoe Century Signature 5 sells new for $4400+. This one is super clean and just gorgeous for a great price.

New Year's price drop to $2200 plus shipping for a top of the line Roscoe Century Signature Five. This is NOT the Century Standard - this Signature has a thick exhibition grade maple top and simply has the best neck I have ever played.

If you change your mind about trades let me know.

Sweet bass! I've spent $5,000 on 2 Roscoe's in the last 2 weeks so...

How is this still here bump.

[Jay78]

SteveC,

I totally agree! This is a sweet deal on a top of the line Roscoe in mint condition.

[SteveC]

I just can't afford 3.......

[SteveC]

My wife loves this bass. She can't believe I haven't bought it even though I'm maxed out, have one Roscoe in the house and another being built...

Almost sounds like permission...

[lowdown3]

Is this the same one thats on You Tube.

[SteveC]

I need Gard to send me a pic of my bass so I can quit drooling over this one.

It definitely sounds like permission to me! And even just for visual appeal, it's much cheaper (and more practical) than some weird abstract painting.

Absolutely gorgeous. I thought the nut width on these was either 1 3/4" or 1 13/16", but your measurements say 1 7/8"? I guess the neck profile comes into play as well. Could someone comment on how the neck profile and comfort compares with the Sadowsky 1 7/8" neck? I know a lot of that is subjective and personal taste.

[JOME77]

Bump for THE DEAL on TB!

Discounted street price on this one would be close to $4k.

Awesome price on a signature Roscoe with the wedge neck!

IMO best playing and sounding basses available.
