Roscoe Club

[Jeff Moote]

I saw that option. I know John East does a stacked volume/tone with a push/pull active/passive switch built into the volume knob, I was just hoping someone here had talked to Mike and he had done it as a one-off or something.

I am sure John East is getting custom pots made for his preamps (I have talked with him about it) and it is a nice feature. The Flexcore uses more or less commercially available pots. As for a one-off sort of thing, I can't say he hasn't done it so best would probably be to email directly. I've heard he's quite responsive (or ask him here on TB).

Happy Fourth, you clowns. LOL

God bless, Ray

Grilled cheeseburgers on home made buns, ice cream in the churn, the rifleman on TV, and just me and my significant at home. That's reason for celebration even if it weren't July 4th.

Happy 4th to all you Roscoeheads.

So, that was Thursday. (I recognize the shirt, and remember Tom being there then... )

 

[Ricky Caboverde]

Anybody looking for Nordy DCs?

Yup..Nice to meet you in person after all these years. That buckeye Roscoe reminds me of my first Roscoe I purchased from Bass and Beyond many moons ago (well except for the headstock).

Fellow Roscoeheads, I am heading to Chicago on Sunday for work and will be there a week. I will be staying at the Sheraton Grand Chicago, 301 East North Water Street. I should have most evenings free so is there any thing I should see or do within walking distance or a short cab drive?

Chicago Music Exchange & possibly Bass Club Chicago (not sure of their new location) if you want to check out gear.

Edit: I just map-quest'ed and your about 8 miles from Music Exchange. Not sure if that's considered a short or long cab ride (never taken a cab). You are with in a mile of Iwan Ries (Chicago oldest cigar shop if I recall), I'd go have a cigar in their smoking lounge but that's me.

What kind of food do you like? I could help with some suggestions. Do you like theater? After Saturday, I have no gigs currently, so I can't invite you to any.

Hey Clint. You've got to check out "Carson's Prime Steaks & Famous Barbecue" in downtown Chicago. Awesome!!!

612 N Wells St, Chicago, IL 60654

Yum, Yum!!!

There are a couple of terrific jazz clubs within a short distance - the Jazz Showcase, which gets the national touring acts and has been in operation (in several different locations) since 1947; and Andys, which features great local players.

Check out Mike Ditka's.
Best pork chop on earth.

Hey, look what I found in my YouTube subscriptions this morning...Keith speaks!

And while I'm at it, here's a nicely done demo from Bass Club Chicago featuring a surprising variety of tones from a single pick-up Roscoe...

Wow. Some serious upgrades in space, gear and people. Congrats to everyone at Roscoe. Of all the basses (and there have been MANY) I've tried/owned, there is no comparison. Product and people are the best out there.

The stunning LG from the classifieds arrived . I'll get some more pics soon but this is without a doubt one of the most amazing instruments I have ever picked up . A big Thank you to Gard as he was so helpful with dating and info on the amazing piece . It sounds incredible some pics from the previous owner and I took a few of the Demeter , this is my first experience with this pre and I love it and her very slim weight is perfect .

her specs are
LG 3000 (now we call it an LG Custom 4)
Exhibition Quilt Maple top
Spanish Cedar body
Natural Gloss finish
Bartolini pickups
Demeter 3-band preamp
Maple/Purpleheart/Maple neck
Cocobolo fingerboard
Graphite nut
Black hardware

The bass was completed in May of 2005 and originally stocked by Bunny Bass

Congratulations! Beautiful bass!

And yes, the Demteter preamp sounds just perfect in a Roscoe with Barts!

 

[fretno]

Thanks !

It's a shame the Demeter pre isn't available any longer. It's hard to do better in a fretted bass.

 

[fretno]

it sounds wonderful but i can see it would be difficult to build in .. its large and has a lot of wires . It could use it's own cavity but they got it in there
