    This is a really unique one-off Roscoe, see the info below from the previous owner. I got it "new" from him, as he got it and never played it due to him not digging the six-string.

    Since I got this in summer 2018, it's been at some rehearsals and 2 little patio jams as restaurant gigs at a Greek place. It has ONE ding I can find between the pickups, but it's really hard to see, never saw it until today taking pics.

    Price includes insured shipping within CONUS.


    From the previous Owner:
    "Keith Roscoe put it together for me as a favor, using a new neck (plek'd), and a new old stock body. This is NOT a 'used' bass. I received it from Keith, and within a few minutes realized I am not a 6-string player.

    Here are the details: SKB 3006 in a rare and awesome 34" scale....yes, a 34" scale Roscoe!!! Cordovan red finish over exhibition grade quilted maple over Spanish cedar body with softer sculpting.Maple/purpleheart neck with highly figured Pau Ferro fingerboard. Back of the neck finished in a vintage tint. Really cool mineral streaks through the maple. 12th fret inlay. Exhibition-grade flame/quilt burl headstock veneer finished clear. Bartolini pickups and 3 band EQ. All black USA Hipshot hardware"

    I love this bass, but I decided I'm going to have another 6 string made for me, so I need to sell this one, it is an amazing bass, with a beautiful tight Low end, and articulate notes in all registers, very rare 34" scale for Roscoe, Keith made a great bass

    Hey Tommy - is the audio clip a recording of you playing this Roscoe?
    It is a thing of beauty for sure.
