SOLD!
Opening this up for sale from this thread: FT Feeler: Roscoe SKB-3005
And here's the thread where I acquired this bass: http://www.talkbass.com/forum/f126/fs-ft-2007-roscoe-skb3005-811862/
This is a great bass that plays and looks stellar. My problem? It keeps sitting second-string to my Sadowsky MV5. Despite it's great looks, playability and sound, I'm more acclimated to the neck diminsions and string spacing of the Sadowsky. I also find myself preferring the Sadowsky pre.
So...guess what I'm looking for? That's right, a Sadowsky. An NYC 24-5 to be exact (maybe, just maybe a Metro but that's a BIG MAYBE). About the only thing I can think of that I don't want is a 5-24 that has anything besides the Sadowsky soapbars in it; not interested in Big Singles or other pickups. I'm not interested in any other basses at this time. This would obviously be a transaction requiring the addition of cash on my end (unless we went the Metro route, of course).
As for cash price? I'd like to get $2200 shipped CONUS only (or best reasonable offer) through a fee-less payment but I'm open to discussion regarding exact payment method.
