I Play Bass therefore I Am
Yeah, I think it's just gonna sound massive, and different from my other two.. mahogany/JBs and ash/MM.
Here's a vid from PremierGuitar.com featuring the new Roscoe's at the NAMM show...
You going up 85? Stop by and pick up my Century 4 string and have it Plek'd as well!!
That headless Century is going to be killer! You going to slant the pickups?
Yep, straight up 85!You going up 85? Stop by and pick up my Century 4 string and have it Plek'd as well!!

Gonna do a reverse slant on the pickups, like on my old Reverend basses.. tighten up the bottom end and warm up the top end.

If that's the same as the spalted maple SKB Custom 6 they have, good to hear, because I just ordered it!

They didn't have 2 out on the floor so I suspect that it's the same one. Great score! You'll love it!
Just received my LG back from Roscoe. Got it Plek'ed, nut replaced and the neck pocket was redone as a previous owner put a shim in there.
I am asking myself, WHY DIDNT I DO THIS A LONG TIME AGO!!!
This is my favorite bass of all time. Especially after adding the Aguilars and the Mike Pope. Very versatile and amazing tone. Stopped bass guitar G.A.S. dead in its tracks since I bought it. However, the nut was cut a tad too deep and the setup was getting whack. Figured I would see what this Plek thing was all about.
Seriously... This is now the easiest playing bass I have ever laid my hands on. I thought it would be good but never expected this. If anyone is considering sending your guitar for a Plek job from Roscoe, don't hesitate.

You don't know what you are missing until you get it Pledk'd then you know right away what you were missing.
...the check is in the mail, made out to "Cash", right?
Really glad you're happy with it - that bass sounded FANTASTIC through my "big rig" (Eden WT550 > Epifani UL310 Series II + Eden D210MBX)! Killer bass man!
I haven't had the chance to own a Roscoe that was not initially Plek'ed and subsequently done, but my most recent (in my avatar) which I believe was built with the Plek machine does play extremely well and I will probably bring my P/J to get done if I am ever in the area with it.
I have to agree that the combination of Aguilar DCBs and Pope Flexcore pre in a Roscoe is a beautiful thing. I've gone back to the Bartolini pickups in mine as the Aguilars were almost too much of a good thing in a bass that is naturally very strong in the low end.

Send it in for a trip through the Plek, and we'll take care of those fret ends at the same time.

I'm thinking about it...
...the check is in the mail, made out to "Cash", right?
Haha. Yep!
I mentioned that I never have bass guitar G.A.S. Well, thats not entirely true. Because this happened.
WHY?!? Why are you doing this to me?
Has all my favorites.
Relic'ed vintage white finish... CHECK.
Tort PG... CHECK.
Blocks and Binding... CHECK.
Aggie PU's... CHECK.
Roscoe PLek'ed and a monster player I bet... CHECK.
Again, WHY?!?
My SKB Custom 6 arrived today... the UPS guy was officially my favorite person of the day.
Still getting to know my way around it, but hell, I love this sucker. Good stuff.
