Maybe I should say P bass with flats? Songs like Uptown Funk, Kickstart My Heart, Pour Some Sugar...that’s why I use my 5 for the cover band. It can do anything. But I am liking the P more and more.I think a lot of people would not be sympathetic to your argument that a p bass doesn’t work on all gigs.
But all us TB’ers would be sympathetic about the need for more instruments

Wow!
This looks like a whale of a deal for someone wanting a Classic PJ.
For Sale - Roscoe Classic PJ5 / Lake Placid Blue

Nice deal on a Classic looking bass!
And we were just talking about the likes and dislikes of 19mm 5 strings.
On this one for me it’s a deal breaker. Now if it had one of those water fall bubinga tops. .... it would probably push me over the edge!
Someone grabbed it, so we’ll never know.Now if it had one of those water fall bubinga tops. .... it would probably push me over the edge!
IMHO it would be a tragedy to half cover one of those tops with a pickguard, but to each their own...
Missing out on a Roscoe like this is what helped me decide to pull the trigger on my custom LG.
I never realize how well Keith matches the headstock to the body until I see a standard series that doesn't have a matching headstock. He makes it look so natural.
I wouldn't get a Classic 5 string. I'm sure they are great, but I just can't get past the 4/1 headstock. I'd have a Century (LG/SKB whatever you like) with jazz pups (not a P/J guy) for my 5 string jazz bass. 4 string I'd do a Classic jazz like my Classic P.
Or, do the John Mayer "Silver Sky" thing - have a classic body with a modern neck/headstock. Someone should Photoshop that. Classic jazz (or P I guess) body with a standard Roscoe 5 string neck/headstock.
Those Silver Sky "strats" are AMAZING guitars.
Oh yeah, that 4 & 1 headstock is a deal breaker for sure!
Really Steve? That’s probably my favorite part of that bass. Oh well, different strokes for different folks.

I tried to buy it last night but he never answered any of my questions. I even asked some after it sold because I wanted some general information about these basses from a player’s standpoint but got nothing. So I don’t trust that seller and I don’t think either of us missed out. It was almost like he’s trying to hide something about that bass.
I've always played with a floating thumb; but there's something so comfortable about having it resting on the front slanting pickup on the LG. Strung with TI JFs, I can't imaging a more comfortable bass.
Sorry he did not provide you a response, but you have to be careful in accusing someone or implying they are not trustworthy. Perhaps he was just busy
I had a good experience with him and he actually sent me a video before sending a bass to me... he also has 100% feedback
I actually talked to the seller this morning early as he responded his email was blown up with buyers at full price. I believe he said 5 buyers at full price this morning. Guys seems legit and had perfect feedback.
Full price was a good price
yep I really wanted it to try a Classic. Offered him full price and me pay shipping lol.

I know. It’s just a thing for me. My G&L was 3/2. My Modului were 3/2. My Laklands were 3/2. Obviously my Roscoe 5’s are 3/2. I also think it’s the nicest headstock in the business.
