Just dropping in to note that I was the buyer of the Roscoe LG3005 in the end and I have nothing but praise for @blueacid4l regarding the transaction, the shipping (inc. meticulous packing) and his overall generous and reasonable nature. Thanks again, man! The bass is getting a lotta love from...

Are these prices inclusive or exclusive of shipping (thinking CONUS, specifically Grand Rapids MI)?

How is this still here?! This is so much good bass for the price. An absolute workhorse and so very well built.

Got a G&L fretless L2000 four-string in that same honey coat and it’s a lovely, study instrument to play. GLWTS.

Beautiful looking instrument and glad you found it a new home. Pardon my ignorance but was does "Plek'd" mean?

Careful with the above link. It looks like the website has something odd going on (e.g. invalid SSL certificate, descriptive text for one guitar model contains random links to what appear to be games and warez websites). Gorgeous bass, though. GLWTS.

...and now one of relatively very few Roscoes in Australia, I imagine. Happy to report that the Gator GTSA-GTRBASS case (along with several bubblewrap "buffers" to keep the instrument from sliding around) got it home in perfect shape. Michigan > Las Vegas > Chicago > Vegas again > Los Angeles >...

I'm going to petition Positive Grid to add an octave-down effect for my fellow microscale bass players. Once I find out how best to do this, I'll share that here.

I needn't have worried. It fits with room to spare (which I'll pad with emergency socks, I guess). Thumbs up for the Gator GTSA-GTRBASS case!

Hey @KennyV , thanks for the reassurance but are any of your Roscoes 35" scale? The annotated photos of the Gator GTSA-GTRBASS model on the Sweetwater page say 46 7/8" for the interior length (which I think would be too short for the overall length of mine), but the specifications lower down on...

I bought scubaduba's stunning Redwood fretless 5 LG a little over two years ago and now that I'm able to travel to the 'States (At last! Curse you, COVID!) my pal who's been looking after it in Michigan will be bringing it to Vegas. I've no doubt it'll have been worth the wait! I think I'll get...

What a stunner! Did you find that elusive trade or just decide to give it some more love for now?

Lovely bass! What's the scale, please?

Coincidentally, just two days ago (October 16th) the ebullient Ian Allison from SBL, posted a great set of pointers (YT link) for getting better results from octave pedals.

The Boss OC-5 is very dependable and it's nice to be able to switch from guitar to bass in the one unit. New ones are rare as hen's teeth here in Australia right now! Global logistics snafu and chip shortages blamed. Any love for the latest EBS Octabass Blue Label? I remember listening to my...
