For sale Fender Roscoe Beck V

Any particular trades you might be interested in? I used to have this Roscoe Beck V years ago and have always regretted selling it. Hard to find.

Not looking for anything specific. I’ve owned just about everything at one point or another. Some that I regret selling though would be MTD 535, Ken Smith, pre Gibson Tobias, F Bass, Fodera. All the usual suspects

Well, except it's not a Fender Custom Shop bass, but otherwise...

Will consider trade or trade plus cash

The best of these 5ves for me is the Lakland. I would never sell it but I happened upon an early (1999) that has special meaning to me. I actually prefer the tone of the Lakland Hansen pickups to the old Barts. I just happened to find a special instrument with some history. If it doesn’t sell I won’t cry. The second bass is an Elrick evo 5. These are hand built by Rob out of Chicago. The best way I can describe it is it’s a Ken Smith with concessions to players asking for more tonal variety. ( Ken would have told you you were wrong and shag off). The build quality is the same. I had one before. It was equally amazing but don’t ever get the single coils. Get the humbuckers.

Last bass I have up for sale is a fender Roscoe Beck V. I had a IV years ago that I loved. The passive switching is the best ever. For me the V became a tank. Heavy. Massive neck. But if you want the best sounding passive 5ve this is it.

Valid point. It was not considered a custom shop. I believe it was made by the same people though. Either way. Great bass.

Open to trades

Man this thing sounds great. Best passive 5 ever
