What are the pickups in the fretless? Rocket's site has hum free J pickups listed.

 

[Ryan L.]

The fretless has Bart CB's in the JB position.

Also, has anyone tried a Pope preamp in a Roscoe? Not sure if the cavity is deep enough or not.

I have one in my SKB but, the pickups are Nordstrand. Compared to the Bart and Aggie the Pope is VERY transparent, almost to a fault. Nothing is compressed with it. I never knew how mid forward the Nords are until I installed the Pope. For full disclosure, I have a pair of Aggie DCBs and OBP-3 on order right now.

Thanks. That probably wouldn't work for me then since I do like a bit of compression. I think I'd like to try Barts with the Aggie preamp.

In!

WOW...

My SKB 3005 has the Bart pre and Noordie DC5 PUPs. The DC5s seem to open up the inherent Bart compression but there is still some remaining. IMHO an improvement over the all Bart tone my other 4 Roscoes had.

Thanks. My fav of those three is the Roscoe barts/Demeter.

Sound samples like these are very helpful.

Now we just need to get some of the Aggie preamp.

Every time I see this bass it just knocks me out!
So beautiful!

The two most beautiful Roscoes I've seen is Baltimore's Koa fretless. That bass is incredible. The birdseye diamond wood board matches perfectly with the color of the top. Also, the sound is absolutely incredible.

Thanks! I think it's kinda aight

I'm still contemplating swapping in some Aguilar DCBs or maybe even trading the Roscoe Barts in it for some CBs. Decisions, decisions...

 

[JOME77]

Do you still have it?

No Fred. That one's in San Antonio TX now. I moved away from the 6 string a few months ago.
