Here's another gorgeous Century Standard Plus 6-string from Roscoe. It plays and sounds as good as it looks! I'll try to generate a quick clip in just a bit... Roscoe Century Standard Plus 6 (Koa/BEM)    |

Killing two birds with one stone: I recorded the bass direct through my REDDI tube DI, AND I mic'd my Berg NV-610 (w/ tweeter) cab with a Peluso CEMC6 mic. My electronics were used to drive the cab (Alembic F1X/SF2 -> Crest CA9).
Here's the complete mix using just the direct tracks. I added some distortion and phaser to the chords to help with separation. "Get Back" (Complete Mix)
Here are the naked direct tracks: "Get Back" ("Vocal") "Get Back" (Bass) "Get Back" (Chords)
And here are the naked mic'd tracks: "Get Back" ("Vocal") "Get Back" (Bass)

Owner, Rocket Music | | Join Date: Oct 2007 Location: Blacksburg, VA | | Yeah, the black hardware looks great on these standards. And so does this friggin' BEM board! Man, the bird's eye is off the chart on this one. I guess they do pick it from the same wood pile as everything else. 
And, yeah, Bill... it sounds gooooood. |

(If you build it, a poop flingfest is sure to ensue.)
Make sure it has BLACK hardware too.  
God Bless, Ray

I am in love with this sweet spot in the Roscoe product line. Incredible value for a USA-handcrafted instrument that plays like magic and sounds amazing. |
