Roscoe Club

I'm not wild about that top, but definitely the nicest classic I've seen. I wonder when Roscoe will start using more AAA tops on this line?

As soon as you order one.

Nice! So, tell us what it sounds like when you get it @campbems!

Is @JOME77 too busy playing his new 5JB that he can't give us an update?

After purchasing 2 new Custom Devon J5 basses I’m done for a bit.

 

[Nightman]

Funny, but those don't look like Roscoe basses!

I haven't really loved the classics until that one. I'd play that. Just don't have $4,000 laying around.

 

[Nightman]

That's what charge cards and wives are for.

LOL
Yeah, I guess that I was. The new finger board with white epoxy lines turned out great! The finger board is glassy smooth with no indication (feeling it with your fingers) of fret lines anywhere. And it makes a huge difference in the mwah and tone. The former finger board had good and bad area's all over the finger board. Mwah and growl would sound really good in one spot and terrible in another (due to the aluminum lines sticking up above the finger board). This one sounds consistent all over the finger board and the action is literally laying on the finger board. It wasn't cheap but in the end I'm very pleased!

Here's a few pics:

@JOME77

That is a classy looking Roscoe there and the new lines and fretboard look great.

 

[Nightman]

Very nice, @JOME77 !!! Want to trade it? LOL Seems there were two very nice fretless basses that just needed to find new homes to, once again, live in the fast bass lanes!!
..And Now -- it's voice!!!

Take a look at this Roscoe and the neck. That's a 7-layer neck!!

IS this your bass? For sale lol? I'm counting 9 piece with the laminates.

No, not mine. But the owner wants to trade it for something I have. He likes the LG Koa!

 

[bassmahn]

I would snag that in a second! I love my LG's.

 

[Nightman]

The owner has my attention, for sure!

 

[Drkwdsman]

I still have the Roscoe 6 that needs a home. Anyone have a Roscoe 5 or a Lakland USA 5 that needs some loving?

That's a Signature Wedge Neck. Those are indeed very stiff necks.

No, No, No! That's 3 NOs just in case I didn't make that clear.

Here's a clip of a Roscoe with JJs in it. Forgive the playing.

It arrived. Only disappointed with dead strings and noticed big drop off in B string volume. sounded overall like a passive Jazz with 30 year old dead strings. Going to have a set up and new strings put on before my impression is made. The look and feel are exceptional. 7.9 lbs!!!!!! It’s nearly 3 lbs lighter than my Modulus Quantum. I think it’s solud swamp ash as the rings line up at mid point. Crazy I’ve never seen anything like it

It does look like a solid piece of ash. Really nice!
