Roscoe Club

[Freddy-G.]

Good idea. Why doesn’t Roscoe just use that kind of stack to begin with.

I can't speak for Keith, but you do have to be careful when you flip the bass over and lay it down to access the preamp or battery cavity. The longer stacked knob can bend if it is not cushioned.

I have the chrome coated version of those knobs on my Classic.

Proline makes an assortment of replacement knobs.

 

[scubaduba]

That’s a good point.

Curious, any Roscoehead experimenting in the piccolo bass arena with their Roscoe?

My wife jokingly gave me the go ahead for the P at Rocket. Not sure. It’s a 1.75” nut. Most other P’s I’ve played and liked are 1.65” nuts, like the Fender Select at the local shop. Not gonna lie, quarter sawn graphite neck, compound radius, quilt top. Pretty nice bass. I also just spent over $2K on a ring for her for our anniversary so I’m not exactly drowning in disposable income., and I only pay cash any more. We’ve eliminated debt and I want to keep it that way.

Did she say this before or after you gave her the ring?

In the cruelty of the non-Roscoe world, diamonds are a girl's best friend, explaining why dogs are a man's best friend.

In the Roscoe world, diamondwood (or any other Roscoe artistic element) is man's best friend (along with dogs).

LOL
I wasn’t aware of this little detail.
Act fast Steve! It only takes one little "uh-oh" to wipe out an "at a boy"!

So true Fritz. And like diamonds (to a woman), a Roscoehead can never have too many!

I'm still unsure about the wider nut. As someone said, I suppose it's the same width as my 5 strings, but it's only 4. I'm sure I'd get used to it. Different feel inspires different playing, right. The whole reason to have different basses?

After.

What ever works, right?!?!

A few Centuries that have been listed on Reverb for awhile got some price reductions. No affiliation.

[Nightman]

Oh!! That Century Custom 6'er!!!

 

[Nightman]

It's a new 2014? Interesting! Must have been lost in the warehouse.

 

[SteveC]

Pre or post ring, uh-oh or at a boy, I don't have to think about it any more as that bass is (finally) marked SOLD! on Greg's site. And no, I didn't buy it. I do like when others make my decisions for me.

 

[SteveC]

There are deals to be had on Reverb every now and again. Not always "crazy" good but certainly worth a look now and again.

 

[Nightman]

Oh well. She has 7 more fingers for another ring! IJS. Think of it as a savings/holding account until you decide to buy a bass.

It’s ok to go ahead and affiliate. I’m on board if you can talk them into deeper discounts.

 

[KaseOfBass]

Speaking of deals, if you're thinking about a Roscoe Century 5JJ, hit me up as I will might be listing mine fairly soon. It was NOS stock purchased from Rocket earlier this year.

Actually, there are only 5 left. Engagement/wedding ring on 1, a custom made “mother’s ring with each kids birthstone (diamond and ruby) by local jeweler on a 2nd, and now this one on a 3rd.

She also has a nice pearl necklace. She's lacking a pair of diamond stud earrings. That may have to be next.
