I thought it might be interesting to see which body style is preferred by TBers. For those Roscoeheads out there who already own a Roscoe (or two, or three, or four), let us know which body style is your FAVORITE. For those who are aspiring Roscoeheads, pick the one that you think you will most likely choose when you finally decide to pull the trigger. |

Visually, I personally prefer the SKB, but I like the Century better for its longer upper horn. I believe it balance better strapped on and makes the first fret easier to reach, IMO, IME ...

| | Finally a Roscoehead | | Join Date: Jul 2003 Location: Taipei, Taiwan | | | I'll go with LG. The small body feels very comfortable, without losing any punch.
Maybe SKB and Century shapes are more suitable for basses more than 5 strings, though.

The LG style is hellaciously nice on a strap.
Having tried Gard's Century real briefly, I think the Century gets the nod from me because of its excellent lap balance.

My personal favorite is the SKB, but the Century is a very close second.
