Roscoe Classic Owners Club

This one would sure look good next to my Custom Classic JJ.

View attachment 1911995

Classic Custom 5PJ Serial #0039c Alder body, Olympic White finish, Aguilar 5P-60 neck & 5J-HC bridge pickups, Aguilar OBP-1 preamp w/active-passive switching & passive tone control, Graphite-reinforced Maple neck, Pau Ferro fingerboard with White blocks & binding

Wow......gorgeous
 
Question for any owners of these or @Gard

I received my new Custom classic today and had a question.

The bass did not com in a Roscoe gig bag, it came in an aftermarket TKL bag, which is a nice bag - however there were no tools, warranty paperwork, or anything in any if the pockets. Should there have been any included? According to the ad, a Roscoe bag was included.

I edited a bit of a lengthy post. Mostly just a question about the gig bag, tools, warranty info, etc.

That is the same gig bag I got with my Roscoe classic. I believe Roscoe uses TKL for their gig bags usually.
I did get a truss rod allen wrench and saddle adjusment allen wrench.
I also got paper work but was sent paperwork for the wrong bass. I got a PDF email with the Spec sheet and Spec letter. But that was the shops mishap and not Roscoe.

That is indeed our OEM bag now, we have stopped using the older embroidered version for several reasons - primarily because this bag is just flat better.

On the tools and paperwork, they should be in the pocket over the headstock, they are placed there when we pack the bass to ship to the dealer. It is possible the dealer removed them for some reason, and they can send it to you. Failing this, contact me at the shop (336.274.8810 or [email protected]) with the serial number and I will get these items mailed to you right away.

Perfect... Thanks, Gard! I really appreciate it.

...interesting that you should say this...where's that Greg Bump fella???? :ninja:


:D
Oh, he's never very far away. It would probably have to be a Roscoe Pino 5P for me as I just can't seem to get away from having a B string. Well, I suppose I would get used to it after a while. I do enjoy my "Real Book" jazz gigs with my G&L 4 string so who knows. Thing is I can't justify/afford 4 or 5 Roscoes and my wife won't let me sell the two beauties I already have but that's another discussion.
 
I'm not saying it should have his name. I just meant that you could get a bass that looked like his that would be better made and not cost $4,000+ like the Fender Custom Shop Pino.
Cool! The one Roscoe CC P/J that I laid hands on was very well constructed with amazing tone!

Really nice. When they start making P bodies, one could have a "Pino Paladino" Roscoe Precesion. That would be killer.

....hmm.....someone took some spy photos, it seems! :eek:

:cool:

(FWIW, the 4 will be a full 1.75" nut like a classic P, the 5 will use the same neck as the J5, which will be 1.95" - and the 5 WILL be 35", because - Roscoe B, baby. :bassist: )
