Looks Great! Glad your enjoying that amazing bass.
I still regret letting that one go but our P&W band just doesn’t give me much opportunity for fretless.

If something's looks too good to be true, it's usually is. Anyone wanna roll the dice on it?

Yea, that’s a steal and it crossed my mind. But no reviews and I haven’t seen a Roscoe with a shim before.
Between reverb and paypal (especially if you use a credit card), you’d probably be covered, but it’d be a pain to get it straightened out…
Nope. Lots of outside the continental US sellers on Reverb these days. I wish there were a way to sort them out of searches. Not that other countries can't sell stuff, but it's a little irritating to see something and then realize it's in Japan.
Well nonohmic was right, looks like a scam- same bass is listed in singapore, which makes more sense

Man I had totally forgotten about this club. My Roscoe had been pushed aside for a while due to my love affair with my Stingray Special and partially due to my lack of enjoyment in the stock electronics. I almost forgot I had it honestly. There was something going on with the stock Aguilar electronics so I re-wired it with a a Nordstrand 2 band preamp and Nordstrand pickups and it came alive. I had also replaced the stock Hipshot aluminum bridge with a brass one. After A/B-ing them I out the aluminum one back on. It gives it a bit more bite. I did start playing it again quite a bit and it’s my solid #2 now. It works better for some things Nevemind the hat.
I almost forgot I had a Roscoe bass, honestly!

Quite a few here appreciate Nord setups in their Roscoes. Enjoy your beautiful Century bass!
I love the traditional look of that tobacco burst finish!
Glad that you were able to tweak it to your liking.
I’m partial to the Nordstrand preamp in my Roscoes too.
Great tone!
I thought about having the same mod that was done to the fretless I just sold to my fretted Century. Quad pups and mini toggles so I can have a few more options. I had it PLEK’ed just about a year ago. Should have had it done then.
Now you're cookin' with gas. . That could be a transformational mod. Maybe consider 3-way toggles instead of 2-way. Then, you could have series/parallel/single coil for each pickup.
My Buckeye Burl LG in service this morning.
It’s a Harvest.What gig bag is that? Looks purty (for a purty bass).
