You like Roscoes?

You buy basses is threes?

You like guessing games?

You play bass?




I'm with ya' Basso...I try to be impartial, but I like the SKB style myself. Of course, the Century Sig body style is close to making it a dead heat.

I DIDN'T vote. Here's why...

I own an LG.

I have played a Century Sig.

They are both very nice. Honestly, I couldn't tell that much of a difference when playing them.

I liked the NECK on the Century a little better, but only becaus it was a little "fancier" In no way did I think it played any better.

It is kind of like asking which flavor of ice cream you like better.

I do know this...the next Roscoe I order will probably be a Century. And it may be a V. I don't know.

I've sent an LG & (2) SKB 5's to new homes over the years and I currently play an SKB Signature (6192)....so yeah my vote is obvious.

I loved my LG but I'm 6' 4" and the SKB just feels right to me. It's my favorite body style based solely on appearance too.

LG for me, just feels like it locks into my body when sitting or standing, like it was carved just for me.

I originally voted SKB when this poll started.

Now, I'd vote for the Century style. I own two of them now, and plan on adding another one or two before I'm done.

Now that I have my first Century model, I think the Century is my favorite body style, just like the way it hangs.

LG for me.
I've played all the body styles but only owned an LG.
After playing 3 church services today I can't imagine loving a bass like I do this one.
Having said that I can't imagine a Roscoe I wouldn't love.

Exact same here, hence I have 2 of them.


Is good to see Lizzy dropped by, if you haven’t heard her playing, you are missing out! Check out "Fair Use", one of my favorite songs!

Century by a long shot. I don't much like the look of the SKB and I find the LG downright ugly.
