What does everyone think if the QOart Knobs on my custom Century? Do they match and look good?

I thought they'd work....but I don't like them to be honest.

 

[Bassworship1]

Yeah I don’t like them either. Takes away from the bass and looks cheap I think.

Didn’t have a problem with the stock knobs myself. Never have.

I just got my Custom Roscoe Century in and it looks brand new. The guy I purchased from had 3 Custom Roscoes and he said he never played any of them out of his house. Best build I've ever seen on any bass and the finish is flawless. The Charcoal Black burst is gorgeous in person. Just playing the bass unplugged right now at work the strings seem to resonate amazingly. Why didn't you guys tell me about these basses earlier lol.

You made the right choice! That bass is stunning. I hope it gives you many years of pleasure.

My current Roscoe is the longest lasting bass I’ve had in quite a while going on 6 years. That’s an eternity for me.

They look out of place on that beautiful bass!

One of the biggest thing I love about my Roscoes is the Plek job they done on both. The setup and action is absolute perfect and the neck is amazing. The fit and finish on both the oil and the Clear coat finish is perfect. The fretwork is perfect and nothing was needed. I've had 2 Warrior basses that had their poly finish and both come to me new with several flaws in the finish. It's refreshing to get something that exceeds what you pay for it.

Great description of the quality build of your Roscoes!

@Mr_O'B

Thank you...the thing I’m most impressed with is tone and no matter where you are on the neck playing the notes are even and clear. I’m just floored at the difference In these against other boutique basses I’ve owned in the past.

Played my Custom Century this morning for the first time in a live band setting and wow...what a bass!!! I like it so much that I’m thinking of selling my Standard plus to either have a dream build done or purchasing another custom that is slightly used. I couldn’t ask for anything more in a bass than what the Roscoes is giving me.

 

[Thumper]

I kinda like the aftermarket knobs on it

 

[Bass4LifeRS]

What does everyone think of these knobs and how they match my Roscoe bass?

How about them Sadowsky knobs? I think they look classy on any bass, and I have them on two non-Sadowsky basses (also in my avatar)

I got this mint beauty at the Roscoe Shop being plek’d and Aguilar DCB pickups being installed by Keith. I talked to him for a while today and he recommended these pickups for that particular bass. Said the fretboard was a small batch of wood he had and that he can’t get it anymore.

Beautiful bass @campbems
F/B looks like Wenge sapwood.
I remember someone making the comparison to a triscuit due to it's appearance.

I dig the coco bolo top.

I hear you Steve. I've had my current Roscoe 2 years. No GAS these days. Hopefully things will stay that way.

Shane,
So did you get another (number 3) Roscoe?

I remember that bass. The wood looks like water moving over the top. Stunning.

@campbems, it's not your fault that you are now totally hooked on Roscoe basses. It's the additives in the basses that makes them instantly addictive!!

We are all Roscoe junkies!!

I've got 2 sets of pickups for sale that are coming out of a Roscoe I have. 1 set is a set of Nordstrand Big Singles and the other is the standard Bartolini Roscoes. Someone looking for a great deal on Roscoe Pickups hit me up.
