It has four strings!

The builder probably could've done a better job at bookmatching the top. Sorry – that's all I got.

It's a Roscoe?

Thank you very much. I think it is early 90's.

It is a really nice mahogany body, quilt maple top Roscoe LG with Bart electronics, weight is sweet balances nicely on the strap and has one of the fastest necks that I have ever played.
Hows that?

I am waiting to receive it this next week. I have bought it and I can't find information about that old bass.

I have two Roscoes & love them both.
Selling off everything else...

Thank you very much . I'm happy to be here, there is a lot of useful information and interesting posts. I'll try the best to contribute!

I'm an "ex"-guitar player and right now a bassist attempt.

It is a really cool bass, I bought it from Bass Direct a little while back but returned it around a week later. I was always wanting for a lightweight Precision bass and found one that I really liked.
I kind of wish I had kept it as I have never played a bass that was so easy to play as that Roscoe.
The neck is just insanely fast, I compared it to some new Roscoes and they were really quite thick in comparison.
I hope you enjoy the bass, it has a new set of DR Sunbeams fitted and the action is on the deck

It is an early 90's LG 2005.

The comment on the bookmatch on the top: the reason you're seeing something that appears to be a mismatch is due to an effect called chatoyance ([Invalid or Expired Link Removed]), and this effect varies with the angle of light and the angle the viewer (or camera) is seeing the wood from.

So, you had it in your hands! Is in good condition? I wish I like it.

You might want to check the neck pocket to see if there are any passive aggressive notes.

Who knows? Maybe a note, maybe the meaning of life... Who knows?

I find C# to be quite an aggressive note, but only in the key of G.

Congrats on the new bass. I think it's cool looking.
