Roscoe Club

[Nightman]

That’s smart to make a headless bass that can still be placed in Hercules stage stands and wall hangers. Not being able to do so was the main reason I wouldn’t buy one.

 

[SteveC]

At that point it’s almost not headless.

I wouldn’t call that a head without turners. More like a nub with wings.

Hercules has multiple styles of stage stands. This is what I use for both headed and headless. Not using wall hangers, either, so standard headless works for me.

“Standard” headless…

 

[armybass]

I really love the look of the headless Roscoes.... they are very tempting. Has anyone owned one? Are they easy enough to restring ect?

Roscoe headless in the house. Recommended and greatly enjoyable. Stringing no problem using Hipshot multi tool (excellent design and simple to use), taking about the same (maybe even less) time and effort as regular string changing (and the ball ends clamp into place, achieving Roscoe Club holy-grail alignment every time, with zero fuss).

Totally impressed with the Roscoe headless Century. Beautiful design, quality, and build. Love the sound. Well balanced and easy to play. Fits in a small electric guitar size gig bag/case for easy transport. When I play it I feel like it's my favorite Roscoe, but that's a fairly common experience for whatever Roscoe is being played at a given moment : )

I guess you missed the conjunction “and” in my post referring to the stand and wall hangers I use.
But even with the wings I wouldn’t own one. They still look a little weird to me and you need a special tool to change the strings.

Joe has been replaced by technology!

Don’t talk about Joe like that!

Honestly, I wasn’t referring to Joe.

I dinged him twice in one post- I think I’ll sign off for the day

You guys are so disrespectful to your elders!

Back on topic ….
I’m totally against headless basses. My goal has always been to get a HEAD in life!

No comment/sarcasm/altering from me. Hopefully, @Fred312b will leave this one alone, too!

 

[MattLplaysBass]

 

[Nightman]

No @Fred312b, no! Don’t do it and don’t even think about doing it!

So tempting though!

Beware of Joe traps!

Well, I’m off to tackle a Honey-Do list item:
- Refinish Custom Cabinets throughout the house.

You guys drive and play carefully! Peace.

Thought this was a cool idea, and worthy of sharing here, from Roscoeheads on FB

Pics or it didn't happen. Cabinet refinishing sounds awesome.

I don’t do the book of faces, is that where this is going to be held?

Hope they’re not SVT 810’s
