Roscoe Club

I’ve never understood why Roscoe uses that cheap looking plastic knob mixed with the metal ones. You would think with 3-$5000 bass they would do better on that.

The plastic knobs were the first thing that came off of both of my Roscoes!

Kind of a cool shot from our county fair gig last night.

I did get my bass from Keith and it is very nice. I did want to ask a very general question: the intonation is off a bit and there is quite a bit of fret buzz in general. I have not had time to record any yet but how much is too much for these two things? I know I can start changing the setup but with it just being Plekked I would think it would need little to no adjustment. Thanks for any experiences.

Hey Dykes!
Still waiting on pics and an update as to how the setup went, how you like the feel of the necks, how the bass sounds ....... yada, yada, yada....

 

[JOME77]

So ..... Anyone snag one of those Roscoe's that Rocket (Greg) is blowing out?

I sure wanted to take a shot at the LG Custom fretless but it didn't last long enough for me to get my ducks in a row ......

I’d like to grab one but...dent reductoon is top priority right now. Ridiculous deals. New basses for used prices. Yeh J/MM is nice. The P/J 4 is nice. The “Pino” precision is nice.

Plus, it's SteveC's favorite body style. .

True. And I really liked that pickup combo in my Laklands.

I had an outside gig Saturday and took my Roscoe Buckeye Burl and played it through my GK 800 MB Fusion into my Avatar 2x12 cabinet.
That rig paired beautifully and rocked, and the Roscoe was killing!!

IS the fingerboard on that Buckeye the Wenge Sapwood? Beautiful bass brother.

I would really like to grab this one below, but I've already blown my new Roscoe quota for awhile...

I also have been eyeing that one- really wish I hadn’t seen the post about them getting discounted...

Yeah, that one has a killer top! Beautiful bass.
I've pretty much got most of the sounds I need covered in the 3 Roscoe's that I have. I suppose that one would certainly sound different than my JB model since it has the standard JJ pickup locations.
However, I'd have a tough time convincing my wife that the trio that I'm currently playing with (me, myself and I) really requires one more bass!

 

[SteveC]

My wife thinks the Century pink ivory J/MM is pretty and looks great but...I still don’t see it coming to my house.

@SteveC

That Roscoe Classic 4 string is marked down to $1250 right now. You will never find a deal that good again.

For Sale - Nice Roscoe Classic ** 50 **

 

[SteveC]

I know. It’s hard not to jump on it. 4 string jazz was my mainstay for a long time.

While we’re posting deals (that hopefully someone else will buy and save me some time in the doghouse ) there’s this beauty on Reverb... love the walnut top...

Beautiful bass but I really like that wall!

Well, Roscoeheads, I just received my 'repaired' Roscoe Demeter BEQP-1 from Demeter. I'm going to re-install it in my LG to see if it works as it should this time. You may not recall, but I initially ordered it in December!

Wow! Congress can pass a law faster than that!

I just hope that it works correctly now.
