Thanks - no need to post his email. I got the answer (2008).

Perfect - thanks. Likely 2008.

Always been curious about a short scale.

Thanks - will do.

Hello. I have a Roscoe Century Standard 5 black onyx (#A009) that I purchased used from GC and I’ve been unable to determine when it was made. I think around 2008-2009? I searched for a reference site and found none, and emailed Roscoe Guitars a while ago but didn’t get a response. Any advice is...

Reposting in the Roscoe Club forum - thanks.

A local buyer has put down a deposit and is playing it on a trial basis. We've agreed to a 2-month trial after which he will decide whether he wants to keep it. So it's still "local sale pending" for about another 6 weeks.

Local sale pending.

Price lowered. Still local sale only please.

No thanks. Not in a rush.

PLEASE NOTE- LOCAL SALE ONLY (Boston & suburbs). I am not interested in shipping this bass- thank you. Eminence semi-hollow semi-acoustic electric upright double bass (2002). Purchased used in January 2015 from Music Go Round in Natick, MA. I used this bass for 1 semester at New England...

For a while I owned just one 4-string fretted bass. When I remove the need to decide which bass to pick up, I get right to practicing more often and for longer periods of time. It's very liberating. Another truth we (bassists) tend to avoid is that most basses regardless of configuration...

With correct technique (and without brute strength) I can hold an F on the E string for 30 seconds without any "burning ache". You can probably get away with the brute strength approach at your age, but if you want to keep playing bass past when you're my age (48), I suggest developing good...

I second DoubleMIDI's point about a real acoustic bass as a better strategy if that's an option. I played bass guitar exclusively for > 30 years, then switched almost entirely to upright last year (I play jazz). I have an Eminence EUB and an Upton Bohemian 3/4 laminate. You'll really need some...

The solution is proper technique, not "brute strength". In fact if you're relying on brute strength, you'll probably injure yourself. Check out these 2 excellent lessons- both necessary for establishing good left hand technique. Double Bass Left Hand Technique Lesson (L#1) - DiscoverDoubleBass...

Agree with Jason and Lauren above re: starting with correct positioning of the bass against the body, and Geoff Chalmers' lessons, specifically Standing Posture & Setting Double Bass Height. (L#5) - DiscoverDoubleBass Double Bass Left Hand Technique Lesson (L#1) - DiscoverDoubleBass Using...

I've played many configurations of Fender basses. All that really matters is how the instrument feels and sounds in your hands, regardless of the designation (e.g. FSR) or country of origin (MIM vs. USA, I have both...). Play it through an amp before buying, then once you found one you like get...

First I place the bass on a padded stand, and sit exactly 4.5 feet away in the lotus position while deep breathing at a tempo of 60. I consider approaching the bass if and when I sense it is receptive to being played. Usually this only takes about 45 minutes. Some days the instrument is clearly...

I don't usually "get" clubs but this one makes sense... It took me about 35 years of being an anti-Precision "snob" before I realized the simple, minimalist genius of the design and the awesome tone with flatwounds. Not asking to join, just applauding the idea. Photo below: gigging with my...
