LukeFRC Posted February 17, 2017 Share Posted February 17, 2017 Fender Roscoe beck There's been a few on here - at fairly widely divergent prices. How much do they go for roughly? I know they don't come up often, but I've a feeling that the answer is "more than my budget" but thought I would ask before I pull the trigger on something else. Here's a random google image search photo of the bass in question... (cos we all like photos right?) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
therealting Posted February 17, 2017 Share Posted February 17, 2017 Around the £1k mark depending on condition seems to be about right. I've heard they're pretty substantial basses. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NJE Posted February 17, 2017 Share Posted February 17, 2017 I have had two, bought both for around £900 in immaculate condition, can't remember what I sold the first one for but the second I sold on here for I think £850 after a very long time waiting for any interest. I see them come up for sale with people asking well over 1k for them because they are 'rare', but to be honest I wouldn't pay over a thousand for one even in perfect condition with all the case a trimmings. They are good basses, I loved the neck and B string but both eventually sold because I just found the sound too mellow for my tastes and was forever switching things trying to get a decent sound.

wateroftyne Posted February 17, 2017 Share Posted February 17, 2017 The IV's are actually rarer than the V's... they were built more recently, and the hardware was a bit more refined. I loved mine, but I just fancied a change. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daz39 Posted February 17, 2017 Share Posted February 17, 2017 They are lovely things, very versatile etc. I suppose their infrequency of appearance leads to the variance in listing prices. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LukeFRC Posted February 17, 2017 Author Share Posted February 17, 2017 The ones I've seen for sale currently are out my price range and over a grand - think it might be a non goer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gareth Posted February 17, 2017 Share Posted February 17, 2017 I have had both the 5 and 4 string. They are vastly different basses and not comparable I did not care for the 4 but the 5 is one of the best fenders i have had. The 5's sell for in excess of £1000. There was one on here for less and it had a well worn body 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
