Beautiful! Let me know if you are interested in a minty G&L L2500 Custom with a 5A Flamed Maple top. It can be played in single coil mode.

I'll have to pass for now, but if I don't get any offers for a "jazzier" bass or for a sale there's a chance I may be interested.

I wish it had one LESS string. Awesome bass.

I wish it had single coils!

Thanks for the bumps.

Get some Big Singles from Nordstrand made for the Roscoe string spacing. Problem solved!

I considered doing that but the pickups aren't correctly spaced to get the traditional "jazz" sound that I'm looking for. Thanks for the suggestion though!

Jeff Moote · Jan 26, 2012

This is true. The bridge is close but the neck pickup on the Roscoe is a lot closer to a P-bass position.

Someone should scoop this up. Century Standards are such a good value.

Trying to! Dreagen, did you get my PM? :smug:

Are you interested in an Elrick Gold + cash? Has a killer B string.

Me first me first! Cash sale proposed and local pickup offered. That's tough to beat. We're gonna start a fight club, OBS!

Dreagen · Jan 26, 2012

Okay, lots to think about.

Gonna close the thread until everything's sorted out.

PMs sent to you both.

Dreagen · Feb 16, 2012

Well it looks like the local deal fell through, so this is back up.

I just bought a jazz-ish 5, so for a trade I'd mainly be looking for something like a Birdsong or some other shorter scale 4 string. Might entertain offers for other unique 4s or 5s of equal or lesser value.

One Bass Short · Feb 17, 2012

I may be interested. Can I get the serial number and what electronics and pickups it has?

Dreagen · Feb 17, 2012

The serial number is A009. It has Bartolini CB pickups and a 3 band Bartolini preamp.

Let me know if you have any more questions!

Really like the looks of the stain/grain on the body...sharp!

SteveC · Feb 19, 2012

Nice bass. I thought I had talked myself into a Geddy Lee but I can't seem to get past my Roscoe lust. They simply have the best neck and B string ever.

Dreagen · Feb 21, 2012

Bump.
