I don't mind the knob placement. They're not located to interfere anywhere I usually play, and I actually prefer closer to farther away. Also, I save my Flamenco Rasgueado technique for nylon string guitar, and Townsend windmills for electric.

It wouldn’t be a deal breaker for me but I would prefer that the knobs start at the 2nd knob nearest to the P pickup.
I don’t do Townsend windmills
but it might interfere with one of Abe Laboriels right hand techniques that I rarely use (Ancient of Days solo).

Flashback time! Man I miss playing Ron Kenoly stuff.
Not to make you feel old but Abe is in his mid 70’s now. Heck his son Abe Jr (a great session drummer) is 50.
Time flies.

I popped over to this thread from the Roscoe bankruptcy thread to see if you had any insight, and these posts made me chuckle.
I have an NYC Verdine White that wasn't over $3000. It also isn't from 2021. My Sadowsky's knobs are in roughly the same position as the Roscoe's; for me, it isn't an issue.
On topic, I still kick myself for not buying a Century Standard 4 that I ran across a few years ago - it was only $1100, was in like-new condition, and played like a dream.
Hopefully there’s a good plan in place to enable Keith to fully recover. They definitely need our prayers and support.
Covid has negatively affected so many businesses.
It's a great opportunity for Roscoe friends and supporters to visit that C11 thread, maybe sharing testimony or support, if not having done that yet : )
Kudos and thanks to those that already have.

I can't get through that thread...TB being what it is, but I wish Keith well. An absolute sweetheart of a human, and a total professional
My comment about knobs is concerning how I personally play, and probably wouldn't effect most people.
Roscoe is really the only bass brand that I miss having with me. Some of the best playing and sounding (for what I like) basses around.

Regarding the chapter 11- I can only imagine that the investments they made before Covid- new equipment and larger space complicated their original business plan. I hope the best for them.
Just stopped over there to leave a comment about how amazing Roscoes are and what a gem of a human Keith is.
I guess everyone is sleeping in …….
I think they are trying to figure out how to top our pictures!
Watching the Rose Parade, maybe... I used to do that. Turn off the insipid live commentary, put on 'Bitches' Brew' LOUD and drink mimosas...I guess everyone is sleeping in …….
This year the Philadelphia Mummers' Parade has been postposed until tomorrow due to rain, so I won't be watching that today.
I still have the same 3 Roscoes I have posted before ( 5-, 6-, 7- ) so there's not much point posting them again. They do everything I need so I have no plans for anything new.
