Roscoe pictures (from Roscoe Forum)

Can I get in on the fun too. I been wishing for this bass a long time and a fellow TB was selling this at a great price. Be here Wednesday.

Oh Yeah! That's a beauty! What a great deal too!

Congratulations!

I had this Roscoe in my possession for a little while. I actually installed a Glockenklang preamp in this bass, not sure if it is still in it or not. This is a solid ash body and it bites as well as it barks, a real defined mid range that just sits in the mix nicely.

There is nothing like a good pair... of Roscoe's that is.

Cool, yes the Glockenklang is still there doin' its thing.

Here's some that I used to own. Poor quality pics, most of them, but you get the idea.

This is the one that was called "The Brain" by the guys at the Roscoe shop. The one I should never have gotten rid of.

Hi ....

NICE!

What are the specs? Beautiful basses!

 

[RocketMusic]

I would send you to my site for the specifics, but neither of those came through the shop (they were shipped straight to Ryan, the bastage)....

Although the 6'er might end up coming back through... oops, did I say too much, Ryan?!?!

Holy crap, Crash! That CS looks right at home beside that custom, doesn't it?!? That is a pair of ridiculously swanky tops, my man!

 

[CrashClint]

The maple top on the SKB3005 is just insane, the Amboyna on the CS aint too shabby. I must say I am loving the Century body. it just fits me perfect!

Nope, not too much at all. But before anyone calls me a dumbass, the ONLY way that bass would possibly go anywhere is as a trade in on a certain Century Signature 5 string that'll be making its way to Rocket Music in the near future.

Got some serious thinking to do in the coming weeks.

I would post the specs of those basses, but I'm typing on my phone right now and it isn't the most convenient method of posting on tb.
