I’ve been playing/liking 4 strings lately. My Classic P is my go to bass these days. The 5P/J is pretty tempting though.
I still like this one. Scratch the 4 string itch.

I’ve tried some jazz basses, and I used to love them, but I much prefer my P and soapbars these days.

Aguilars pups and pre and gloss finish confirmed by seller
Nope. It was a nice bass and price. No, I didn’t get it. I’m still tempted by the LG3000.Well that one didn’t last long!
How about I buy the LG3000, and put your shipping address as the delivery address, and you ship me back the fretless?
Happy New Year's Eve, Steve and all!
You know…I have entertained the idea of moving the fretless. I used to play it at church, but my P has kind of overtaken everything these days. That said, there’s nothing like a Roscoe fretless. I’m a little torn.How about I buy the LG3000, and put your shipping address as the delivery address, and you ship me back the fretless?

Don’t do it Steve! The FL gives you something your other Roscoe’s, as great as they are, cannot give you.
Shhh...let the man think. J/k, we all know it is a great instrument that will be used by one or the other of us forever.

An informal play-along with Thomas Dolby on my Roscoe SKB:
Maybe my Custom I also have listed here or was it one of the Standards? I know I’m going to regret selling mine, but I have more instruments than I possibly can play.

The Classic P continues to impress. The more I play it the more I love it.
I put Dunlop flats on my Century 5 but haven’t had a chance to gig it yet. We’ll see. Right now I’m liking the P and liking flats. I’m going COMPLETELY opposite of myself historically. I was even contemplating what I could/would sell to get a P bass (made by another company and named for a famous person) I played a while back that I thought was one of the top 3 basses I’ve ever touched.

Its been quiet here. A whole week?
I thought I'd throw this out to the Roscoe hive first. I have a Century Signature I'm looking to trade for an LG or SKB. It has a koa top and ash body, 3 pc wenge neck, BEM board, Bart pickup and pre, black hardware, Dunlop straploks, etc. Looking for custom or Signature, bubinga or cocobolo top or other dark wood with BEM or some figured sapwood fretboard, I'd prefer a straight up trade but +/- cash is always a possibility.
I'm just not getting along with the wenge neck and the body size. It's a beautiful instrument, plays great and sounds great. Could use a setup.

I think I’ve been converted. All I play is my Roscoe Classic P with flats. I restrung and setup my Century 5 and it’s a great bass, but I just don’t find myself grabbing that bass these days. I play it in passive mode now, too.
It feels weird to quote myself but I couldn't figure out how to edit the original post. Is it possible?
I need to correct the bits about the preamp. It's actually a Nordstrand 3 band with a VTC control. And the pickups are the Roscoe Barts. Cash sale $3500 shipped. So if your looking for an outstanding bass here you go. It will be hitting the classifieds soon.
