Looks like we need another build thread!

Man Greg! Your pics really show off that wicked flame top! :eek:

Totally agreed on the Candy Apple Green as a finish name, it just looks juicy!

Cheers for the high res pics, I'm really digging a zoomed in look!

And how's about a listen? It took me a sec to figure out the controls on the East preamp. They're very cool -the mids have a gain and a sweepable frequency selector knob. So what you'll hear is me playing the same riff with a slight mid boost as I try out different mid-frequency knob positions. I eventually settle on my favorite position towards the end.

And this is all done with the 3-way toggle set to "series". You can also run that single MM pickup parallel and single coil.

All in all, a very flexible electronics setup!

Per Bill's request - the bass is an E-C 5-string, and it's tuned down a whole step.

"Gadow Custom 5 Sound Clip"

EDIT - recorded direct through the REDDI, slight verb added after the fact.

Ahhhhhhh! I should have given you a heads up on the electronics, another thing of note is the bass/treble aren't exactly flat when at their center detents as they have more gain than cut, they should be slightly bass & treble boosted when set to the detents.


Fantastic soundclip, utterly killer tone! :cool:

At some point, Bill, you should share your "artist's rendering" so we can all see how close to the mark Ryan can get :) My guess is he'll be pretty much spot on.

Just wanted to bump this post up, he went a bit beyond spot on, and blew the original idea out of the water, eh?! :hyper::hyper:

Cheers dude! :)


I've been using my Roscoes on and off in an E-C setup, and really dig it for chords, and I'm often a few pitches too short on melodys I'm transposing over and it saves me dropping them a fifth or octave. Or sometimes for me its more comfortable to play things on the 13-18 range of the C, rather than the 18-24 of a G.

The tuning, combined with the Hipshot also means I can still get all the way to low C, so I'm not gonna be missing much from a standard tuned 5er either.

Originally, I was thinking of getting this as a 4 string, fwiw, but came to my senses as I realized I have more than enough 4 strings.
