Roscoe Club

[Life of Brian]

I was one of those owners. The shielding paint was too liberally applied from the control cavity down the jack area so a contact that would have been jack to wood drew away current and reduced highs significantly. I am loathe to mention things online because the interweb can be unforgiving. Small businesses are run by humans. Humans make errors. Keith provided his unbelievable regular customer service!!!!

Just sent you a PM

did simply replacing the jack fix it?

Two different issues. The shielding paint had to be scaped away. This was a brand new bass. The other issue was wear on the jack. That was purchased new and I wore it out. Required replacement.

I’d love to hear that combo sometime. Way past time for a middle Georgia Bass GTG!

I bet that D string of the center Sadowsky has a bit of a thud sound.

Joe, Joe and I had a side bet whether you would notice those things. . What about the others?

That Roscoe with the Sadowsky preamp in it probably had something to do with it. It ain’t normal!

Here is a sample of the SKB3005 with Sadowsky Pre and Aguilar DCBs........is a fun song to play, the original bass player of this song is Tommy Brown, who is an AMAZING gospel bass player

I have considered getting another Roscoe, I find that the Ebony fingerboard is a bit dark, would like to see what a maple FB sounds like....

So I broke down and gave Keith a call today... he may be finishing my bass in a week or so.

 

[SteveC]

I broke down and emailed him again today. Haven’t heard for a few weeks.

Hoping my new HipShot bridge comes this week so I can get the LG set up a little lower and get it better intonated as it’s my main bass the last few months and maybe for a bit more.

 

[Nightman]

You guys are in the “2-weeks Zone”, which is very similar to the “Twilight Zone”.

 

[SteveC]

I’ve been in the 2 week zone for months.

 

[Nightman]

It’s very much like the Hotel California, where you can check in at anytime, but you can never leave.

And, what's your point?
