FS Roscoe/Demeter on-board 4 Knob Preamp

Sign in to disble this ad
I can't believe I am doing this, but I am letting go of my backup Roscoe Demeter Preamp. Yes, it is true. These preamps are just amazing sweet clear bass with glassy highs, yum.

This a the standard Roscoe configuration, 4 knobs and a switch.

Volume
Blend
Mid
Bass/Treble Stacked
Q-Switch

Operates on 9 - 27 volts dc. So you can use 1 to 3 9-volt batteries with this preamp.

I guess we are down to the nitty gritty, $240 shipped in ConUS and you supply the knobs.

These Demeter's can tame the mids of an Ash body like on a Century Standard Plus..........

How convenient.

There's an ash-bodied Century Standard Plus shipping my way TODAY! Once it arrives, I'll have to check out those mids and see how much taming they need.

And I just sold my B1500, so the PayPal account has money in it.....

Nope, no Crests. Only thing I have amp-wise that's "spare" is a QSC PLX-1202.

I think you are going to love the CS Plus. They sound great as is. For me, I really like the Demeter with the Bart Classics in an ash body, it just rounds out the tone. In an Alder body I like the Bart preamp.

On my CS I have the J pickups with the Bart preamp and it oozes old school, I absolutely love the tone.

The only reason I am selling the Demeter is to stop me from experimenting on my Century Sig. My Century Sig has an Aguilar that works good with the Mahogany body, Roscoe/Barts and Mac Ebony fingerboard. Though I do have a LG2005 getting some work done at Roscoe with EMG pickups and passive tone control, hmm.

You know, I don't even have a club number, what is up with that?

Okay, you're gonna make me start thinking. I'm not crazy / in love with the tone of my SKB 3005. It sounds really, really good, just not ultra-great. And certainly not as good as it looks.

This one might work there too!

If you are thinking about buying it, don't ask Jome77 what he thinks about Roscoe/Demeter preamps.

No, it has an actual switch. I am not sure of the rating of the mid pot off the top of my head buy you may be able to use the mid push/pull from your Bartolini preamp. Send Gard an Email and he will be able to verify it for you. He may have the parts instock for sale to do it yourself.
