TRADED Roscoe SKB3006 Six String Koa-trades added

For Sale/Trade: 2006 Roscoe SKB3006 Six-String Flamed Koa

Recently picked up in trade, this is the penultimate SKB3006 for playability and tone. The Mahogany body yields awesome low-mid punch and tight lows; a sweet high end is offered through what looks like a Pau Ferro fingerboard (Keith wasn't sure of the fingerboard tone wood). The slightly tighter string spacing makes this bass a breeze to play across all strings. Tone is sculpted by a Bartolini 3-band preamp and Bartolini dual coil pickups-overall this makes for a classic Roscoe SKB sound.

The bass has been played and has normal wear and tear for a 14-year old bass that I've tried to capture in the pics. Any cracks you see are all limited to the finish, nothing structural that interferes with playing or tone. Will ship in a used but very sturdy soft-shell case. Only selling/trading as I just can't make a 35-inch scale -string any more.

Happy to answer any questions here; please send offers via PM. Thanks for looking!

 

Thanks for the info. Keith couldn’t locate records on the bass—are you sure it’s Purpleheart? The wood looks more brown to me.

 

I think you may be correct—looks redder in the pictures; however, it does appear more brown in person. Either way, as you say the bass sounds and plays great, with the neck stringer adding to stability and tone.

BTW—love your avatar!

 

Thanks, kornilbass—consensus appears to be on purpleheart and I remember Keith echoing what you said about his neck tone woods. I’ve edited the specs accordingly.

 

Some great offers coming in; trades are updated—this beauty is still available...
