New Arrival - Roscoe Century Standard Plus 6 J (Koa/BEM)
- Thread starter RocketMusic
- Start date
I waffled hard on this one, but I couldn't convince myself to take the 6-string/35" plunge. To make myself feel better I did snap up a 5-string/34" bass though 
Congrats - this looks like a killer instrument.

^^^ Thanks guys.
I'm looking forward to getting my hands on this one. I've certainly lusted over it for a while now.
I thought that that I'd lost my chance to get it when it suddenly got a lot of attention a week or so ago but some how it hung around just long enough for my Elrick to sell,
....... Got to say, it sure looks good with the black hardware too!

Just for you, Joe, just for you.
...now, DON'T SELL THIS ONE, ok?
Joe, congrats! If memory serves (dangerous assumption), we've got the early versions of this very sexy breed...six-string pluses with black hardware. Here's hoping we can get them in the same room at the same time.
Just looking at this closely, I think it's related to my CS+J, looks like the tops might be slices off the same board.
Definitely might be "Brothers from different mothers" Bill!

lol
Gard I'll certainly try not to ....... This does make number 19 (in 16 years)!
Thanks Jerry!
Between the Roscoe GTG and the still pending trip to San Fran there's a good chance we might be able to get the two of them together.
If this bass sounds anything like the sound clips that I've heard of yours then I'll be smiling. Of course I'll have to take into consideration who's playing it!
Jerry can make a Hondo with 6"inch action sound good. I've saw him in action at our local music store. My man played everything from Chic, to Rush.
Made me want to quit.

You ain't lying Starrchild!
Although I just can't invison Jerry playing a Hondo!
Love the new avatar, Joe! And the Roscoe looks great. Are you able to put it down long enuogh to play a little upright?
Greg,
One thing that I forgot to mention. Somehow I guess I was so focused on the top that I overlook the fact that it had a nice BEM finger board. That doesn't always show well in pic's so even though I read it in the spec's I didn't really pay much attention to it.
I've had 3 other Roscoe SKB 3006's with BEM FB's and only one of them even came close to how nice this one looks (in person).
.... as you stated, I guess they really do build them from the same wood stock!
