Roscoe Sound clips

[Saluki]

Hey Fellow Roscoe Heads I thought I would post a link to these roscoe clips by Ed Freidland. You may have already seen them, but it might help someone. It is a ash body with the bart/bart combo. Just goes to show how versatile Roscoes are. Anyway...

Thanks for the link. Now I need a link with Audere and Nords

"a sweet sibilant high end"

[Shiveringbass]

Great link. Thanks


The Roscoe tone description also seemed strange to me : "sibilant high end"...

Anyway, the soundclips are great and very representative from that wood/electronics combo.

My LG have exactly the same specs (ash/exhib. maple top, birdeyes maple fb, Bart/Bart set up) and those semples realy sound like my bass.

Very nice representation of just how versatile a Roscoe bass is.

IMO it sounds like 4 different basses.

I've constantly heard players talk about how they've got to have several basses to cop all of the sounds that they need.
I certainly went through that phase but after several years of trying different basses known for this sound or that sound it finally sunk in that after the newness wore off of the M**, F-****, E***** or S****, the only bass I was using was the Roscoe. And I was getting a full pallet of tones to fit every style of music that I was called on to play.

Ya, I looked up every definition for sibilant to see if I could understand what he was trying to describe. . I wondering if he was politely saying the bart/bart system has a little hiss on the high end. But sweet hiss? I dunno.

His playing skills far exceed his choice of adjectives in this example.
