Details

Up for grabs is a mint Roscoe Century 5. Bought this bass not too long ago and it has been at my home in a case not being played. I’m hoping someone can enjoy it because it’s a beautiful instrument and sounds wonderful. Comes with OHSC, authentication papers, and truss wrench. A fellow talkbasser was kind enough to let me use his old ad for your reference: SOLD - FS/FT Roscoe Century Signature V
He goes into great detail with the history of this bass along with specs etc., and has pics as well.
Bass weighs in at 8.8 lbs.

Specs - Spanish Cedar body; Exhibition-grade flame maple top with matching headstock. Finished in tobacco burst; Maple/Cherry/Maple/Purpleheart neck; Birdseye maple fingerboard with Abalone 12th fret inlay; Dymondwood nut; Roscoe-spec Bartolini quad coil pickups and 18 volt, 3 band preamp; 35” scale; Black Hipshot hardware.

If you have any questions, please let me know. Ships to the CONUS via UPS. PayPal only, no trades. Price includes shipping to the CONUS. Thank you for looking!

Wow, everything about this bass is gorgeous. Absolutely love (x3) the fat purpleheart wedge in the center of the neck. All of the woods are top notch for that matter, and of showpiece caliber. So interesting that the bass has been unplayed most of its life, just waiting for the right person. So tempting. .

As I said in the previous for sale thread, I’d love this bass. I had a lesson with Jimmy, spent a couple days hanging with him and other Roscoe folks about 10 years ago. It’d be awesome to have a bass he played. I just can’t swing it right now. I’ve got a great LG3000 Custom I picked up in trade recently that I could sell, but that won’t get me close enough to this bass. 2nd strike for me. Maybe the 3rd time will be the charm.

Amazing bass. Good luck. Someone will get a fantastic instrument.
