My gas is driving the sale of Roscoe’s. Need to move my Signature Century fretless six to pay for my new Ric 360 that’s on order lol. Hate to let it go but reality always wins these internal struggles. I just count myself blessed to have had them for a time and got to enjoy them.

The vertigo with the tick is my favorite bag, unless you have to carry it for a ways- the shoulder straps are not padded very well. But for from the car to the practice space/venue, it's great. And easy to get the bass in and out of in tight spaces (since they always give the bass player so much room
).
Steve that looks amazing. I love that combo too. From the looks of it it appears to be worth the wait but not sure how you feel about it.
I have acute vertigo but it just makes me dizzy!
…..and I thought I needed to seek help. 
And you just let the tick get a free ride.

I guess I gave mine away this week for $2K.
I think you did okay. I paid $2100 for a near mint in the case Century signature 5.
Totally happy with my sale. It's going to be paired with another LG3000 with a similar finish with a Rosewood board (I think) and the normal Bart slant soapbars and rounds. My old LG3000 with a maple board and Aguilar jazz pups with flats will be a nice contrast. That will be a great pair of basses.

Yeah but yours only had three screws holding on the neck!
That one has 4!
Keith must use the same screws as the Pentagon. $2K a screw.
Just a note... at a recent GTG here in Chicago with lots of exceptional basses - Lakland, Spector, Stenbeck, Mucklroy, Alleva Coppolo, Stenbeck, Pedulla, Sadowsky, LowDown, and others - all were astounded by the monstrous Roscoe B.
There is no B like a Roscoe B. There are some good ones for sure, but I have never heard one blend in with the other strings as well as a Roscoe. Close 2nd goes to a Warwick Dolphin Pro that I had years ago in my DMB stage. It was a fantastic, heavy, odd shaped so you can't really play sitting down bass, but it sounded really good.
I'm still on a dmb phase and would love a dolphin. How do the necks compare from your memory?
It was so long ago I can't really say with any reliability. I remember mostly liking it. It may have been a little fatter than my Roscoe neck, front to back. It wasn't uncomfortable to play. There are only few basses I'd like back.
My Roscoe Century Fretless 5.
My Rob Allen Mouse 30 fretless.
My Rickenbacker Chris Squire model.
Maybe my Dolphin Pro 5. It was SO heavy. Balanced fine but heavy.
Mine was very much like this:

Roscoe for sure has a great sounding B string but the graphite necked Gould and Modulus basses are fantastic too.
I had a pair of Modulus Q5's - fretted and fretless - with Bart electronics. Great basses for sure. I thought they were keepers. They could have bene I suppose. But I played a Roscoe.Roscoe for sure has a great sounding B string but the graphite necked Gould and Modulus basses are fantastic too.
