Roscoe Club

I like corporate gigs. Usually good hours and pay. Those and private rich person lake gigs are my summer favs.

Yeah this one is at The Avalon in Fargo, and pays very, very good.

I’ve seen these the last couple of times I was in the shop but was sworn to secrecy. Glad the word is out now. They are very cool and feel great in the hand!

Wow, I'm so unobservant. I didn't even notice those were singlecuts until I went back and took a second look.

Everyone has their own tastes, but for me it's rare to see a singlecut bass that I like the look of. Hopefully Kyle can refine the design until it's great -- at least for those who are into it.

Anybody going to be selling a 5 string SKB soon?

Yeah. I’m not a fan of single cut basses but I think it’s a great idea for Roscoe to offer one. And it honestly looks as good as most (actually better because of the beautiful Roscoe headstock).

 

[SteveC]

I want a fan of headless basses - until Roscoe did one. Not a fan of single cut (except maybe Fodera) but I’ll see what Roscoe comes up with. They have the best headstock in the business so…

 

[nonohmic]

Wow. Intrigued. These could be really cool!

 

[nonohmic]

Heads up. Can't believe I'm going to do this, but some unexpected bills have come up, and I will have to see if I can sell the ash four string that I recently got from Keith. Should have it in the classifieds next week.

I'm sorry to hear that. What is the scale?

Brought one of my Fenders along as a “just in case this new Roscoe doesn’t do it for me” tonight.

It never came out of its case. Roscoe>Berg Super Pre=amazing tone.

Playing to over 600 ladies was icing on the cake.

 

[geggy spoiger]

Crazy excited for more single cut news! They look a little ‘Skjold-ish’ to me from that one picture, which definitely isn’t a bad thing. Kyle doing great things

I like the look of that single cut. Curious as to how much it weighs compared to the other models.

I’m still curious about the Berg. If I decide the Stomp isn’t for me I may still give the berg a try. The Genzler pedals are interesting as well.

Ok everyone, if you have flats on your active 5 string, what are you using? I love the TI’s on my Classic P. Love the fundamental and attack. Debating trying flats on my Century 5. Not sure if I go with the known TI’s or something else.

Ernie Ball cobalt flats

Do the EB Cobalts have the same tension as TIs?

Do the EB Cobalts have the same tension as TIs?

A bit more, but not a lot.
I have TIJF on my fretless, EBCF on the fretted.

 

[fretno]

Setting up some fiddles yesterday, using my Classic as a sample. Not all instruments can be set this good unless it’s plek’d or very well leveled. Its factory at the nut about 1x64th or 0.4 mm. This is about as low as you can get. Very straight neck set with a straight edge and backed out a hair of relief. Maybe 0.01 +/- and string height at the 12th fret about 4 x 64ths on the E&A and 3 x64ths on the D&G. +/- but let’s just say low and even from 1st fret to last.

I think the EB Cobalt flats have a lot more tension than the TI’s. They feel some where between conventional rounds and La Bella DT flats. But that can vary based on the gauge you purchase. Not sure about my TI’s but my Covalt flats are 45-105 (45-130 5 string).
