Details

I'm putting this one back up again. I recently purchased a used Warrior 5 and I have a "one in one out" policy so I originally put it back up "for sale only" but after thinking it through decided to list one of my Fender basses for sell instead, so I'd also be willing to do a trade on this one.
After playing this Roscoe 6 for a couple months, while I love playing it, I have no real need for a high C at church and the wider neck seems to wear my left hand out a bit more when playing in the lower register.
It's a wonderful 6 string and the bass setups and plays extremely well. Workmanship is impeccable. Very low buzz free action (.05 - .09; C-B string @24th fret) and it's got that really classic growly mid-voiced Roscoe sound.
This bass is literally like new and would cost around $4500 to build new with a wait time of 1-2 years (plus or minus two more weeks).
Bass is in like new condition (as is the Roscoe OHSC).

This is Century Plus model with quite a few upgrades.
Here are the specs:
  • Body: Swamp Ash (stained slightly tan to match the burl Walnut top)
  • Top: Burl Walnut (not 100% sure on this. Keith stated that he got the wood from a luthier that had passed away and wasn't sure what it was)
  • Neck: 3 piece maple neck
  • Finger board: Wenge with Roscoe 12th fret inlay (Upgrade)
  • Finish: Gloss (Upgrade)
  • Pickups: Roscoe Bartolini Quad Coil (Upgrade)
  • Electronics: Bartolini 3-band
  • String Spacing: 18mm
  • Scale length: 35 Inches
  • Tuners: Black Gotoh (Black is Upgrade)
  • Bridge: Black Hipshot Type B (Black is Upgrade)
  • Case: Roscoe OHSC (Upgrade)
  • Year Built: 2022
  • Weight: 10lbs 4 ozs
Price: $2600 (I’ll pay $100 toward Shipping)
PayPal preferred

Trades: Warrior Signature or DM 5 (preferably with the Big Boy config; Larger Humbucker/Bridge X5)
Roscoe SKB or Century 5

I hear you Joe. I tried to love my 6 string 3 times! It sounded great. Looked amazing. The neck is amazing and didn't feel like a runway. I wish I liked it more as it was my 1st Roscoe build.

It's a beautiful bass at a great price. If anyone wanted to dip their toes in 6 string land, this is the bass to do it. Comfortable neck, sounds fantastic, easy to play and a beauty to look at as well.

Consider a trade for a new P bass Fender Mod Shop and some cash
