If I ever have to change my screen name, I think "Fezzick" would be a cool one...
Not only does it pay homage to a "Princess Bride" character, but it can be interpreted to mean "like a Fez."
Have fun stormin' the castle....

| | | | Sorry for jumping on a old thread, but did I read that right, you've got a 34" scale 6 string Roscoe? I had heard that the 5 and 6's only came in a 35. I'm switching from a 6 to a raised 5 and have been looking around at different basses. I've played a few Roscoes. all great basses. But 35 just cramp my left hand. If I can get a 34" 5 string, then I'll be talking with Evan at Bass Northwest soon. |

It's an upcharge on 5+ strings (I don't know how much, offhand, but it's not particularly brutal), but they're happy to do it.

Should never have opened this...especially when talking about a 34....
Of course, If I line my basses up with my jazz guitar in the middle, I get a 35, 25 1/2, 34.
(as you can see, I wasn't fortunate to win the $3000 prize that was alluded to earlier in the threadcast...)
