Roscoe Closeout Sale

Oh, I can afford it. I have enough to make a respectable offer, it’s just that I do so much with my 5 string...I don’t know how practical a 4 string would be.
That’s my problem. I tried a 4 string last summer (Fender American Elite Precision). Phenomenal bass, but I am just way too dependent on having that low B string.

@campbems asked for a finger style sound clip of the Roscoe Century Custom 5 JJ that I have in stock. I had some time to do that today, so I figured I'd share it with everyone.

I start off doing a lick or two on the neck pickup, then the bridge pickup and then both pickups blended equally. Then I play some of Pink Floyd's "Money" with both pickups blended equally. The bass and treble boosts were flat, and the passive tone control was wide open.

This is a gorgeous bass that sounds pretty amazing, incredible low end on this one. It's a big sound but still very articulate. And to top it all off, the bass should sell for $4730... but I'm letting it go for $3499 shipped!
