Thankfully I only really regret selling one bass, but not that much... and I've only bought back one bass I sold (for the same price, thankfully), but then sold it again

Same here, but I was running out of hangers and space on my wall and had to make room for the incoming. No Regerts! 
My first Roscoe (built for me) was my Century Standard 6 Plus with a beautiful quilt maple top, wenge board and jazz pups. My one and only, last bass I'll ever need. Can do anything on it, right?Thankfully I only really regret selling one bass, but not that much... and I've only bought back one bass I sold (for the same price, thankfully), but then sold it again
I sold it as the 6 wasn't clicking.
I bought it back, thinking maybe I didn't give it a chance. Put all your other basses away, etc.
Sold it again. Maybe 6 isn't for me.
Saw it available again. Bought it back for nostalgia. My first Roscoe, etc.
Sold it. Didn't play it. Wife says if that shows up again...
A couple weeks ago, what shows up on Reverb...
Roscoe USA Century VI 6-string Bass - 2012 | Reverb
Yep. My old 6. The grain on the wenge fingerboard is ridiculous. The "veneer" top is almost as thick as a custom. If you want a great 6 string "jazz" bass, this is it. I think the price is a little high, but it's an amazing bass. If it were a 5 string (what I probably should have had built) it would still be in my possession.
I had that 6 for a while, too. Man, that asking price is high now. Beautiful instrument, though.
Probably a good thing … for you!
Poor bass. That’s like 3 different owners in as many weeks (give or take a week or two).
That thing has been passed around more than a spliff at a reggae festival!
Probably because a 6 string isn't everyone's cup of tea?
Went to play the Warwick. Too much neck dive and reachnon a strap. Surprisingly, Guitar Center nearby had this:
Older LG3000. 3 bolt. D tuner. Sustain for days. Neck is a bit thicker than my other Roscoe’s. Damn nice bass.

That doesn’t look like a Century 5 Fretless. It does look like a nice LG though.
I’d walk out with that one in a heartbeat if it checks out. Bet you could talk them down a little bit too.
I am feeling really good about my Century Custom 5 that I paid $2100 for. Prices are quite high these days.
You never know if you don’t ask. Also helps to have actual cash to wave under their nose. Hard to let Benjamin’s walk out the door. Especially if it’s a reasonable offer. Just like cars, every day it sits there it costs them money.
Nice bass but does it really do anything that your Century doesn’t already do?
I think a FL would get more play time, but what do I know!
I won’t make a purchase today. Nothing gained but a cool bass. Daughter needs a laptop for college, not to mention moving 1,800 miles. Plenty of uses for that $2K. Responsible adulting sucks.
