Bart preamp in roscoe... Yay

[gt96g]

I had been having quite a problem recently. about 3 months ago I purchased a beautiful lg-3005 from a fellow TBer and when I got it it came with a bart audere set up. it sounded ok but not what I was used to hearing in the stores, then I gave an aggie pre a try. Yuk and recently I popped a bart tct in there ang bingo. sounds like perfection. I don't even have the mid boost module in there but it still sounds great. I was curious what all you different expireances were with different pre's in your roscoes.

I have an older LG 3000 (see post below) and I have the bart - bart TCT pre without the mid control and love the tone for most gigs. Was going to try out the Nordstrand Aggie combo but I've decided what I've got does 99% of what Im after.

It's been my experience, that depending on the wood combinations of a Roscoe, certain pre's just work better for certain instruments. Personally, I like the flavor of all of the current choices. They each tend to bring out something a bit unique for each instrument.

Glad that you found the one that does it for you. The Bart/Bart combo is certainly classic Roscoe tone!

As a whole, I'd say that the Demeter was my favorite preamp, however, I like aspects of each available preamp, so I guess that's a way of saying that I haven't really found one that was "it" at least for me.

I like the lows of the Aggie the best.
I like the mids of the Bart.
I like the glassy highs of the Demeter.
I like the flexibility of the Audere.

Now, if we can only find a way to get every best attribute into one preamp and I'd be set!

I'm still hoping to hear more pickup/preamp combos in Roscoe instruments. Thus far, based on what other options I've played/heard directly (Nordstrand/Bart, Bart/Aggie), I'm still just 100% a Bart/Bart fan.

I have to admit in a Roscoe I have only tried the Bart/Bart combo, but having tried several other preamps in other basses, I don't think I would ever want to change out the Bart pre in the Roscoe. For my tone tastes.

[gt96g]

for the roscoe I like it, i do have another bass which at the moment has an aggie nordy combo and I can see why some people may like that, slightly more airy and natural sounding overall more organic, but i will never again put an aggie pre with bart pups.

What's up Gene?

Hope that all is well.
Santa's coming to Georgia a bit early this year. Actually next week!

+1 to your comments. I'd still like to here the Glock pre.
I'm really digging the versatility of the Audere pre for now but a couple of the previous 3006's that I owned with the Roscoe Demeter pre really had a killer sound!

So I hear...Gard just told me today!

As the seller of that bass, Im glad you found a preamp that fits your needs. That bass was stunning and if it had the 19mm neck it would have stayed with me. Are you selling the audere preamp as I may want to try it on one of my other basses?

So gt96g is the TB'er that got the Roscoe that I was really Gasing for!

That is a very nice looking myrtle burl topped Roscoe! I'm surprised that the Audere didn't do it for you gt96g.
Of course I haven't heard it with the Bart p/u's yet but it sounded very nice with the Nordstand p/u's.
I hope that I'm not disappointed with the Audere paired with the Bart CB's....Of course we all hear different sounds in our head.......

Honestly Joe, I do not think you will be diappointed. The Classics sound like the Roscoe/Barts but more open. It will still sound like a Roscoe.
