Roscoe pictures (from Roscoe Forum)

HA!! Good one, Bill. I'd love to hear what I could do with a fretless and an auto-tune box.

I actually tried that once, with the auto-tuner in my Cubase, sadly, it didn't help my severe lack of skills at all.

(I do own two Boss pedals...an octaver and an overdrive. Both were actually used on gigs, believe it or not. The former to cover some 80's R&B, and the latter to cover Santana guitar parts. Who needs a guitar player when you've got a six-string Roscoe?!?)

Nice!

Be handy if you could do all the guitarists work too, maybe they'd give you two pay checks!

Very nice looking Roscoe Chans. That looks like a walnut top. Very elegant looking bass!

Hi Joe,

Here's the specs:

Exhibition Grade Bubinga top
Swamp Ash body
Birdseye Maple Fretboard
Natural oil finish
Wenge/Maple/Wenge wedge neck
3 Band Aguilar preamp
Bartolini/Roscoe pickups
Bubinga wood Inlay at 12th fret
Diamondwood Nut

Bought it from George of Bass Gear Direct Oz

Yeah the pattern looks similar to walnut but it is really a bubinga.
Maybe because the way I shoot it using my low tech mobile phone

BTW... You Roscoe people here has to praise this one..
It's you who convinced me get Roscoe instead of MTD 535.

Lovin' these pictures. It's been a long time since I posted. I took several years off from TB. I'll add my two to the pics thread, and I will be starting a new thread soon, with an interesting story to go along with it...

First up, an LG3005 fretless with burl myrtle top and myrtle body:

Next, an SKB3005 with ex. quilt maple top, swamp ash body, and ebony sapwood FB:

And no, the pictures aren't reversed...

Man! I'd have never guessed Bubinga on the top. It looks very similar to the walnut on my 3006.
Very unique piece of Bubinga for sure.
And we're glad that you were persuaded to go with the Roscoe over the MTD. Tobias makes some great basses (I've owned 2) but the Roscoe's totally just do it for me!



Fishdds,
Very nice looking Roscoe's! I've seen them before but never get tired of looking at them! And it has been a while.

 

[Bipslapper]

Exquisite basses, Fishdds. Man they are gorgeous and I imagine they play like buttah

 

[Darkstrike]

That quilt is insane.

 

[Pacman]

So deep, it oughta come with a lifeguard!

This is mine LG 3005 ~~~

 

[VroomVroom]

Beautiful basses, fellas! That myrtle fretless...slurp. And Chans, I totally would've guessed walnut as well. That bass is absolutely gorgeous!

I'm really digging my new (to me) Roscoe. Absolutely loving it.

I haven't had the time to take good pics of it yet, but I thought of Gard and snapped this one when Shenandoah (my daughter's service dog), decided to plop herself down next to it:

Great bass, great dog.

 

[Darkstrike]

Gorgeous looking bass.

I didn't know "The Shaggy D.A." was a bass player, way cool!

Bart,

I'm glad your digging your new bass.
New it is.(not just to you)
That is exactly the way it came to me.
That was the original setup, and believe it or not, those are the original strings. I never changed them.

I got this beautiful speciman from Dennis (BassWR) awhile back and haven't had a chance to snap some pics until tonight.

This is undoubtedly one of the easiest playing, luxurious basses I've ever had the pleasure of owning. I'd never had the opportunity to play a Roscoe and ventured out based on what I've read on TB - very good decision. This is a great bass!

Specs:

Model: 2007 SKB-3005, #5731
Top: Exhibition Grade Cocobolo
Body: Spanish Cedar
Finish: Natural Gloss
Preamp: Bartolini 3-Way/18V
Pickups: Bartolini
Neck: Standard
String Spacing: Standard
Fingerboard: Exhibition Grade Cocobolo, Fretted
12th Fret Inlay: Standard
Nut: Diamondwood
Hardware: Black

 

[JOME77]

Yeah, that's a nice one TX! That bass played like butter. Dennis will regret selling that one for sure!

wow
Wow
WOW!!!

I've seen a few Roscoes but I don't know that I've seen body and fretboard grain like that before.
My checkbook thanks you for posting pics post purchase.
