Roscoe Club

dudes use to wear 1/2 shirts too and it was cool , not sure anyone will remember that though

1. It was NEVER cool. It may have been socially acceptable fashion, but NOT cool.

2. If I saw it, I blocked it out. Last thing I need to see is some dude's tummy.

Now, to fix the mental image you have forced upon us all, allow me a moment's diversion:

Much better.

Much better.

I was just thinking to buy a new set of strings.. what size is that G-string? .45?

I will wait to get a 4 again when Roscoe comes out with their Better Than Fender Clone.

That would be cool. Then I could have a Roscoe and passive 4 string all in one. It's interesting that - except for Jimmy Haslip and Nathan East - almost all of the guys I grew up admiring/copying played 4 string basses, yet I tend to prefer 5 string - with a 4 string urge.

I don't see that style of headstock ever happening - our shape is too iconic to not use....

I can't get over these headless basses...sooooo good.

I have to admit a bit of bias, but I'm pretty partial to this one:

The headless look cool but that iconic headstock is what I really like.

Eventually, I will have nothing with a headstock....I agree, the headstock we have is great, but from the ergonomic side of things, the headless just WORKS BETTER.

 

[Freddels]

I'm sure it balances nicely and the weight reduction is back friendly. I have a friend with several Klein guitars and he loves the headless instruments.

Looks I'm once again a Roscoe owner...

So much BEM!

I've always wondered this . . . if you just straightened out the pickups on the LG by moving the treble side toward the neck, would they be pretty close to the JB positions (except with soapbars)?

I'm guessing this is a Signature model . . .

 

[SteveC]

Headstock is iconic and my favorite.

I'd say, based on our sales, that the 5 has kind of overtaken the 4 as the "weapon of choice" these days. It may be different elsewhere, but it's not even close for us, over 75% of our production is 5 string. No knock on 4's, my favorite players are dedicated 4 string guys, but it seems that the industry standard, or at least the Roscoe production standard, is at this point the 5. 4's run #2, then 6's, 7's are VERY LOW in our production, probably 1 every 18 months, give or take.

I'm about to go practice on my 4 string Roscoe LG3004.
