SOLD

Roscoe SKB 3005
Built in 2008
Koa top
Ash body
Cocobolo fingerboard
Bartolini pre amp & pups
34" scale
19 mm string spacing
Roscoe hardshell case

This bass sounds great, plays great and is in excellent condition. No scratches or dings. The wider string spacing and 34"scale length give this bass more of a Fender/Sadowsky feel than the traditional Roscoe. The tone is still all Roscoe and the B string is as good as any I've heard on 35" scale basses.

Wow! Great price on a nice and rare Roscoe.

Now the TB'ers that say they would like a Roscoe but "if only if was a 34 scale with the wider spacing" won't have an excuse! ;)

They know who they are .......:D

Bump for a very nice bass and a great TB'er!

......I've played this one and it plays and sounds very good! :bassist:

I can vouch for this one as it used to be mine. Best roscoe neck you can order in my opinion, plays like butter. With the bart package it gets the warm p bass on steroids tone. Would have kept it if I didnt have a century with the same neck but 60's jazz pickup spacing.

Good! Plays great and has a unique throaty cut that none of my other basses have. Not an every gig kind of bass but a good one to have in the stable!

Why didn't this get listed a month ago??? Arg!!! I so want, but now I'm too deep in the hole.

It'd be the perfect Roscoe for me (34" 19mm)

:(

Steve, she is here waiting for you!

I know. I'm just trying to tell myself I don't need a $2,000 bass. My cheap old Yamaha is covering my gigs just fine. It's so hard to be responsible.

Any sound clips? Curious about the wood combo a this seems to make a big difference especially with Roscoe basses,

Steve, I can try but I don't have a way to record directly to my hard drive. I'll have to plug in the amp and record with my Olympus LS-10 and then up load that file. It'll be a day or two before I can get that up. I have been repainting my music room so everything is a mess right now..Hope to have it back together by tomorrow.
