it is for 2 strips of LED lights that are mounted under my pedalboard. I can change the colors, flashing to solid, or turn off with it. Really nice for a darker stage.
Question for my Roscoe Brethren...I have a set of Roscoe Nordstrand DC pickups to try in my Koa bass. I’m thinking it may be perfect for this bass. According to the Nordstrand schematic it looks like only 2 wires are attached? Is that correct to wire these in?
DCs should have 5 wires. Go to their website to get what wires are grounded and which wire is hot...and stuff

Thank you Joe. I may be calling you once I get these in lol.
I’ve decided to keep my Koa bass as is and not use the Nordstrand DC pickups I purchased off a friend. If anyone would like to try a set I will sale for what I have in them. They are barely used and excellent shape. Regular $350 and I’ll ship for $189.
If they were 6er pups I'd be all over that! However I am very satisfied with the Barts and Bart preamp.
I installed the Resolites, plastic knobs, different shallower bridge and lite strings and it knocked my SKB 3006 from 10.8lbs to 9.8lbs! Thats an almost 10% weight reduction. Astounding! I now have a sub 10lb 6er that I love so very much!

In case anyone cares, the stock Roscoe Hipshot bridge has a radiused bottom plate that only goes so low and the saddles bottom out at about .060 per string on the 12th fret.
The "regular" hipshot A style bridge is identical but has a considerably shorter bass plate allowing lower action if one so desires. Its also lighter weight with its smaller baseplate and steel saddles vs brass on the Roscoe. Tone difference in brass vs steel is negligible Imo.

Good info.
That probably would have solved the issue with my Signature (currently at Roscoe for a Plek and neck pocket scribe).
Sure would have been less expensive than shipping there both ways and a Plek. Of course I did want to get the bass Pleked.
I didn’t think about it until this morning but I seem to remember that the Nordstrand p/u’s used on Roscoes had to be custom ordered from Nordstrand because the spacing on their standard pickups wouldn’t work (on Roscoes). These may be custom made for a Roscoe but I thought that I should mention it.
Yes that why I posted them in the Roscoe forum and listed them as Roscoe Spec DC's in the sales add on here.
Ok. Cool.
I didn’t see your ad stating they were Roscoe spec’d p/u’s (I’m trying to stay away from the for sale ads).
We only get pics of the back? Not cool
well I pretty sure I know the tops... Quilted Maple and Myrtle respectively.
