Roscoe Club

Made a huge difference over the stock hardware. I even like the pickup rings on this bass.
Classy and classic looking Roscoe! I love the way that Keith uses the lighter colored shim to transition from the top to the body wood. Very Nice!
Roscoeheads are lots of things but patient people we ain’t!
Unfortunately I've been tied up with landscaping and other stuff. It may be awhile before I can get it sorted out.
Where's your priorities man lol...
I'd love to have a 5 string Roscoe exactly like that one. It's a beauty for sure.
It was my 10th wedding anniversary gift
Pretty Awesome Wife!!!
Definitely sounds like a couple keepers (the wife and the bass) !
My wife (with some help) surprised me a couple years ago with this Signature fretless. They're both keepers to.
I had to remove the 'locking washer' on the inside of the jack (and finagle a way to get the 'football' jack-mount screws back in) just to get this hair of clearance between my right angle plug and the football jack. I'm surprised that no one else has had this issue (on an skb, fyi).
Anyway, bass performed great on my new gig, as did the in-ears and the rest of the new gear I was rolling with.

I've had that issue for years. I accused Gard of hiring Superman to tighten the output jack into the "ElectroSocket"! Removing the nut that Roscoe left on the jack allowed the the output jack to extended out just enough more to use the right-angle end of my "Clear Connect" instrument cables.
On one bass I actually had to order a new "ElectoSocket" and Switchcraft output jack from BestBassGear.com because it was so tight that the jack came apart when I tried to remove it (1/2 the jack was still fastened to the "ElectroSocket").
So yeah ....... I feel your pain!
I remember that one JohnnyR! That was the 2nd scariest internet deal that I was ever involved in (I mailed a cashiers check to a LA CA hotel addressed to a man that wasn't a guest there; a misunderstanding on my part and maybe the overseas seller too).!
Sure glad that one eventually worked out!!!
I’ve never had an issue plugging anything into my Century Standard Plus. I’ve never had any issue with the bass - other than personal issues of worthiness and necessity - but that’s another thread.
When I re-wired mine it came with a different jack and I did the same thing. No issues now. My old Dingwall had the same style jack and it was a pain sometimes.
