Yep, it's so hard to let go, but I'm bringing myself to do it. Up for sale is my beloved Roscoe LG3005, Spanish Cedar body, Flame maple accent with cocobolo top. Birdseye maple board, matching headstock, Aguilar OBP-3 preamp and Roscoe Bartolini pickups. Just a killer of a bass, but I am looking to do a full custom order Roscoe to all my desired specs. This bass is a real stunner, I get complements from all over, even singers who usually don't notice a bass player unless they make a mistake. Playability? Forget it, the best out there. Looks? Gorgeous. OHSC included. Tones? All there. Weighs in at 9 lbs 4 ounces on my crummy scale. Won't order the new one until this one goes and not going to give this one away. Would consider partial trades plus cash (new Roscoe deposit money) more so than other trades, but try me. Between myself and my bass teacher, I'm sure we could work something else. I pulled my last thread and will try not to pull this one, it's just such a good bass, I don't want to let go. $2500 is what I am asking, new this one would be $3300 range.

Bump for a killer looking Roscoe!
I love the top combined with the birdseye maple fb. Very nice!
Dave,
Good luck on the sell and on the future custom Roscoe. |

It is a beautiful bass but I already have something in the oven. New Century Standard Plus 4 |

| | Registered User | | Join Date: Dec 2007 Location: New England | | | Ok, it is ready again. I had a push/pull pot added to split the soapbars into singles on the outsides of the pickups. It is the master volume, so down is normal, up splits them. An awesome feature with great tone options. Really a super jazz when split. I'd really love to keep this bass, especially now, but unfortunately I have other necessities to deal with. $2400 shipped, insured.

|  | Well, Ahoy Paloi | | Join Date: Sep 2009 Location: Cape Cod, MA | | | Good Luck Dave.
Currently I have 2 Roscoe's and am working on a fretless 3rd. I can tell you took excellent care of this bass and someone will be very happy to procure.
Best of luck and I am anxious to see the new one. |
