Your favorite Roscoe?

[rob_the_bassist]

I'm completely new to Roscoe instruments, and i was wondering what are your favorite Roscoe models n setups. Preferably for a 6-string bass but it doesn't matter

Well , my favorite Roscoe would be an LG3005, but for 6 strings, Id go SKB3006. Swamp ash body, flamed redwood top, birdseye maple fingerboard, demeter preamp.

i like the color combo of the first one better, but something about that second makes me drool even more.

 

[rob_the_bassist]

those are all very nice basses but can you list what model they are n what are the components of the bass (pickups, wood, top wood, neck)

 

[Akito]

Wow what a nice bass!
I really dig this one at blueberry hill bass

And this one...

Mine has the Demeter pre, and it definitely smokes. I don't think I have played a smoother onboard pre. It's crystal clear and the bass and treble boost/cut is very natural and smooth.

 

[Fretless5verfan]

My skb-3006 is my favorite...until i get a couple century sigs

Specs:
Body = Spanish Cedar
Neck = Maple/purpleheart/maple
Top = Super crazy buckeye burl
Fretboard = Spalted purple heart
Pre-amp = Bart 18v 3-band

 

[rob_the_bassist]

wow the blue one is really nice...and that one above me! i was in the middle of typing this post and another roscoe pops up on my screen hah

 

[Akito]

If you look on blueberry hill's site Jay has the basic info listed for each bass.
Here is the description of mine. It's got bart soapbars, and I am waiting on some custom knobs from Roger at THG (thanks again Gard for the extra wood!)
SKB 3006, 3-piece ebony top (w/sapwood), grain-enhanced swamp ash body, wenge neck stringer, ebony fingerboard, 3-band Demeter preamp, custom 12th fret inlay, diamondwood nut, black hardware

Ahem!!

The one funk slap posted is an SKB3005 with a cocobolo top.

 

[cuebill]

This is also my favorite type of wood top for Roscoes, highly figured Cocobolo. In fact this is what I am ordering my pair in. I'm trying not to talk too much about it in order to keep my anxiety level down, but I know Gard is probably tired of hearing me give him changes every 2-3 weeks for the past 2 months.

Just waiting until Keith gets some body wood blanks cut before I make an official post with the "obligatory picture" that we all want to see.

 

[Halftooth]

My favorite SKB-3006 model has been Exhibition Quilted Maple/Ash body/Wenge FB/Demeter pre. A close second has been the same specs but with a Maple FB.
