$2400 2012 Roscoe Century 3006J. This beauty is called “The Red Devil” (see it in action with her first owner here and here). As basses go, this one is definitely a unique snowflake.
Sounds like a quintessential jazz bass, only with 18 volts of hellfire behind it. Clear and even response across the full range of the instrument. The 18mm string spacing makes it equally comfortable for fingerstyle, chording, or slapping, without feeling too narrow or uncomfortably wide. The neck feels like greased lightning - there is something truly special about Roscoe’s necks. This one is amazing.
- Alder Body with a maple top... and a Candy Apple Red finish. The pairing of maple and alder was for tonal purposes. The finish was for sexy.
- Roscoe’s buttery three piece maple/purpleheart/maple neck with pau ferro fingerboard. 35 inch scale, 18mm spacing. One of the most comfy 6 strings I’ve had the privilege to play
- Hipshot hardware
- Bartolini hum cancelling jazz pickups in the 60’s positions
- Bartolini 18 volt NTMB preamp
- Ships in OHSC
