    How to determine age of a Roscoe bass

    Hello. I have a Roscoe Century Standard 5 (#A009) that I purchased used from GC and I’ve been unable to determine when it was made. 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 appreciated. Thanks, Asher
