A few pics of me at a local blues jam last night. Let my friend try it out on a few tunes and he was impressed as well. I am much happier with this bass with the bartolini pre over the aguilar obp-3

Roscoe Club

Yeah, it's nice. Still $2,000 when I'm trying to save is fairly steep - even though I know what I'm getting in a Roscoe.
I have a friend who's doing a "parts" P bass (with some nice parts) that in the end will be a very classic looking two tone burst/rosewood type of P bass. He's bringing it to a GTG next month in Minneapolis that I'm going to attend. I may see what that is like first. He's not asking very much (about a 1/4 of the Roscoe) so for a bass I'm not too sure I'll play or keep (I never keep 4 string basses it seems) maybe a lesser amount invested until I know for sure...We'll see. Maybe Greg will make me an offer I can't refuse. It's also tough when my wife actually likes the bass and would MAYBE put up with a purchase. Being fiscally responsible is not fun.
Parts basses can be great but the resale is so low you can't help but loose money on them. I had one some years back that I would love to have back. It was a Lakland body/bridge with J/J pu's and a Moses graphite neck that had Moses on the headstock. My last name is Moses so I should have kept that one. I had a John east preamp in that one. I have no idea what I traded it for.
What did you get??
That Jazz bass I got from you has become my #1 over the headless Roscoe.

New Fender Pro P-Bass 4 string. I've really gotten back into the 4 string these days.

Man, you and Packard! I've been thinking about it but I don't think I could go back.
I just don’t see how anyone that’s played a good 5 string bass could go back to 4 stringers. All I can say is good for you as that will leave more 5’ers for me lol.
I keep thinking I should try a P bass like everyone else but then I play my Roscoe 5 and...
Oh I've still got 3 5 string basses (and they aren't going any where). That doesn't stop the 4 banger from being a blast to play (especially on the classic rock stuff). I've got a 4 string Jazz and a P bass now and they're getting most of the playing time.
A True Commitment to minimalism and fundamentals.I can see y'all need a 3 banger
I think for symmetry, one should play this through a 3-speaker cabinet configuration.
Some really nice options out there!Technically, this Bergantino HG410 is a 4-speaker cabinet but the 4th speaker is inside. I was going to reference the HG310, but its appearance looks like a 2 speaker cabinet, with the 3rd speaker inside.
You simply can’t beat Genzler Amps and cabs. I’ve had every combination their is and they simply perform professionally every time.
