    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...

    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.

    For those of you with more than two bass guitars, why?

    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...

    Double Bass Strengthening the left hand

    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...

    Double Bass New to EUBs only tried one - help please!

    I second DoubleMIDI's point about a real acoustic bass as a better strategy if that's an option.

You'll really need some...

    Double Bass Is "using arm weight" on the left hand a misnomer?
