    For sale is an absolutely gorgeous Roscoe Century Custom Five String. This bass sports a beautiful carved exhibition Koa top on an equally beautiful Swamp Ash body....and the sickest Birdseye Maple fret board you've ever seen. A true work of art. This model is 35" scale with 18mm string spacing. Plays like butter. Here are the specs:

    • Model: Century Custom 5
    • Serial Number: 6644
    • Top Wood: Exhibition Grade Koa
    • Body Wood: Swamp Ash
    • Neck Wood: Maple/Purple Heart/Maple
    • Fingerboard: Birdseye Maple
    • Finish Color: Natural Gloss
    • Pickups: Bartolini
    • Preamp: 3-Band Bartolini with Selectable Mid Frequency (Push/Pull Pot)
    • Hardware: Black
    • Tuners: Hipshot Ultra-Lite
    • Bridge: Hipshot A Style
    • Weight: 9.2 lbs
    The bass is in excellent condition. Absolutely no issue, can pass for a new instrument. Always kept in the case. Speaking of case, includes a Roscoe hardshell case and all the paperwork.

    New this model is close to $5k. I priced this to sell at $3650 including shipping in the CONUS. Sorry, not interested in trades. Just outright sale. Thanks for looking!

    Beautiful Roscoe! Very classy looking. Love the look of the tight flamed Koa top with the BEM finger board (and Koa 12th fret inlay). Also really like the sound of the Bart/Bart combo.

    Folks, You won't find a better playing or looking bass than a Roscoe! At any price......

    SAH-WEET! IMHO the Century body style is the most beautiful of all of Keith's body styles. I too have almost the same bass, and thru emails with Keith Roscoe himself, replacement value or insurable value is over 5,000. I can promise you this, You will miss this this little girl when she sells. GLWYS!
