Details

Back up for sale 6-2-1.Here is my pristine Roscoe LG standard, with a swamp ash body, satin natural finish, a 3-piece maple graphite-reinforced, quarter-sawn neck, and a Pau Ferro fingerboard. The pickups are Bartolini Classic Bass, with Bart NTMB pre-amp. This is really like new. I bought it just before I went mostly to passive basses, so it’s had almost no play time and has not left my home. Likewise, the gigbag is like new. It’s one of the nicest bags I've seen, heavy canvas-like material and thick plush lining. I could very well change my mind on this one, especially after I hear the tax verdict next week.

I’ll let the photos and the spec sheet below tell the story. Oh, frets are like new and it’s been pleked by Roscoe. Scale is 34, nuts is 1.5" and weight is 8.4 lbs.

Retail on this bass is $2625. Here's a chance for a like-new instrument at big $ saving.
Looking for $1700 plus shipping, CONUS only. Only trade I would be 4-string only - Pedulla rapture, US Lakland or Mike Lull jazz, passive or with passive option. Might add some cash for the right bass.

Man that is a beautiful, fantastic bass!

@p12bassnut all Roscoe 4 strings are 34" scale. I'll let the seller answer the other questions!

Yes it is gorgeous.
I've never played a Roscoe, what kind of tones does it put out ?
Can you get a very low setup?
What’s the significance of the angled pups ?

Tones are wide ranging, especially with the pull/push pot that give two midrange frequencies. I'd say it's best at modern tones, but I have no trouble getting Jazz bass sound plus vintage P bass thump. IN short, I'd say it's very versatile.
Set up is excellent. Currently at 3/32 at 12 fret with no buzz and could probably go lower. Not unlike Pedulla's I've owned.

No idea about the angled pickups. Maybe others would chime in or you could ask on the Roscoe forum. Or contact Keith at Roscoe.

Hope this helps.

So I'm having minor surgery next week. Not a biggie but I won't be able to lift more than 10 bs for several weeks. So the last day for a while that I could ship this is MOnday, April 8. So if you interested and eager, you might want to move now.
Possible I could arrange shipping after April 14. PM me if you want to discuss.

Send it back to Keith and friends and have them add an active/passive push-pull pot and series/coil/tap switches and you have one of the most versatile basses ever. That’s what I did with my LG3005 and I love it in passive mode. I mean LOVE it. Wasn’t even expensive. GLWTS otherwise, it looks great.
