I think a good roscoe would be the only bass I would trade my current best bass for. I played an LG3005 a while back, and it was fantastic.

DMB said:I got home today with a nice large rectangular package on my doorstep. I now have in my possesion an amazing LG 3005, thanks to Sean Baumann. I know why so many of you guys love these things, absolutely stunning in every way. Ill take some pictures later tonight if I can put it down long enough.
Thanks Sean!
Yeah, I told you all I loved this bass. It really is amazing, both feel and tone. I just wished the body shape worked a little better for me. I'm picky! One day I'll have a Century and be happy
DMB said:
Yeah, I tend to agree with Gard, it is quite a bit of figuring for mahogany, hence it is probably cedar. Either way it sounds pretty darn good heh.
Well, I opened up the control cavity. Its definitely cedar, its got that unmistakable smell. Right now, Im about to record our bands first song with this bass. Once I get a copy, Ill put it up.
Its no joke, this bass sounds awesome.

DMB,
What style(s) of music do you play? For many fingerstyle types of music, the Roscoe is perfect.
If you're a big slapper, you could look into an Aguilar or Demeter preamp.
Looking forward to hearing your music clip.

I play mostly stuff like praise and worship music and chill acoustic type stuff. Im definitely a fingerstyle player. Here is our purevolume site. Ill put a link with the song we recorded last night up soon. All of our music on there is original stuff written by our guitar player/singer.

Stuff in the link above was either recorded with my old Spector or Lakland. This is the song we recorded in full last night, with the Roscoe. There has been nothing done to it except some compression and limiting and a little reverb on the vocals. There needs to be some work done on the low end eq. This is also the first song weve ever done with out any type of drums in it, only cymbals.

Is the Bstring as good as everyone says? I have never played one, but will soon in Fl. I always hear good things about the Bstring.

(It's that good)
Oh yeah, the B KILLS!!
I cannot find a fault with these basses. At all. No dead spots, perfect feeling neck, awesome customer service
, Beautiful sound, the list goes on and on.

Leave me some feedback then
ps. can I have my bass back? hehehe
Hahha, I was just getting ready to do that, the feedback that is. You can have the bass back if you pay me enough to buy a new one. This things not going anywhere.

Ryan Lunneborg said:Welcome to the Roscoe club. There is no turning back now that you are here.
I dont plan on turning back after this. I heard an analogy of Roscoes being like Lay's potato chips. Sadly this is true. I already want another one, but I have no money.
Im kind of suprised Gard hasnt stuck his head in here yet. Usually if anything having soemthing to do with Roscoe, he's in the thick of it.
B String: I think it's good to a fault. It's the only complaint I have, but it's not really a complaint either. I feel that the B and to a lesser degree the E strings over power the other strings. I used to pluck harder on my other strings so they didn't sound so quiet. What Keith suggested was to tighten the screw on the pickup on the side of the B and E strings so that the pick up would be farther away from the strings on that side of the pick up. It worked and every thing sounds even.
So the problem is no problem with a screw driver.
