For sale is my Roscoe LG3005 Custom 5 USA string bass including original Roscoe lightweight case. I’ve had 2 of these basses over the years and they both live up to their reputation as quality instruments made by one of the best luthiers around. The bass is very versatile, balances well and easy to play. Why sell? Well, the merry-go-round of gear continues and I’ve decided I need to apply the rule as one comes in, another goes out. Looking at the 2017 pricing brochure (attached) from the Roscoe website it looks like, new, this bass would be around the £4,000+ price range before shipping and taxes! The colour "Trans Red Gloss" is show in the photos both in direct sunlight and indoors. The 5th photo (close up body shot) is probably closest to the actual colour you see. There are some very small marks on the top part of the body (circled on the photos). These seem to only be in the top clear coat of the finish. On the back of the bass there is a laptop screen protector! I kid you not. I have used this on a number of my basses which reduces the chance of buckle rash. Peels off easy and doesn’t leave marks or residue. Collection preferred from Aberdeen so you can try it out but as Aberdeen is a long way from most of civilisation, I will ship to mainland UK at cost using Parcelforce. I’ve estimated this based on a London postcode to be £20 via Express24 (without insurance) Specs: Roscoe LG3005 USA (2007) Top: 5A Exhibition-grade quilted maple with trans red gloss finish Body: Mahogany Neck: Maple and purple heart Fretboard: Spalted purpleheart Neck: Bolt on, 35” with graphite rod reinforcement Nut: Hand carved graphite, width 45.5mm No of frets: 24 String spacing at bridge: set at 19mm (adjustable) String spacing at nut: 9mm Pickups: Bartolini Electronics: Bartolini NTMB+F Output trim pot accessible through the back plate (circled on the photos) Controls: Vol (push / pull for active / passive), pan, treble, mid (push / pull freq select 800Hz & 250Hz), bass Strings: D’Addario Nickel EXL170-5 (.045, .065, .080, .100, .130) Neck relief currently set at 0.010”, truss rod fully working Action: set at 2.0mm at the 24th fret B and 1.8mm under the G Black hardware, Gotoh Ultralight tuners & Hipshot bridge Weight: 8.4lbs / 3.8kg Case: original Roscoe lightweight moulded insert foam case 2017 Custom Retail.pdf

I have just gone through a lot of my studio / PA gear and removed the excess insert and patch cables etc. and have gathered together quite a collection of connectors. Some of the items are brand new never been used but all are in great condition and fully functional. I could be persueded to a bulk buy reduction. Postage would be based on how many and destination. The table below gives as much info on model / style as I know.

Mike Pope preamp 18v/9v

Slightly different for me. I use ACS Pro 17s and 10s. I find the 17s are excellent for taming the rock band I'm in or going to a gig. The 10s work well for me in rehearsals when the volume is lower but you still want protection from cymbals / snare etc.

Setting up a P Bass, Action and Nut Slots
Acebassmusic replied to Chienmortbb's topic in Repairs and Technical
35 microns seems very small and equals about 1 thousandth of an inch which is virtually flat / no relief. My basses range from .010" to .020" (converts to 270 microns to 530 microns). Over the years I've collected relief info from various manufactures and the range is about .010" to .020" (Fodera .010" / Wal .016" / Sadowsky .010" / Mayones Jabba .022" / Lakland .008") As others have said I use this as a start point and then tweak to suit. -
Ey up....from a Yorkshire man living in Aberdeen. Welcome David 👍

I did some hunting and found a link to the old Audere site with a similar preamp on it here. It has an explanation of what the 6-way switch does. It looks like the one for sale has the knobs on the plate rotated by 180deg with the vol where the 6 way should be @jamesugster?? Looks an interesting preamp and I'd like to try it out but dont have a need at the moment. 😟

How was Your rehearsal last morning or night ?
Acebassmusic replied to nilorius's topic in General Discussion
She does have a great voice and I've got to say the band as a whole are excellent! Great feel, balance and groove. It's also nice to see a drummer play with dynamics and not trying to kill their kit. 🤣 I'm going through the same work process of getting a start up band together and although it's taken a lot of doing I'm pleased where we have got to. We're doing covers but have a "guideline" of not covering the same tracks everyone else does and it's been a breath of fresh air and well worth the work. Some of the tracks we do are : Say It Isn't So - Daryl Hall & John Oates, Free - Denice Williams, Never Too Much - Luther Vandross, Rock Steady - Aretha Franklin, When Will You Be Mine - Average White Band, Stop By Monies - Liquid Soul, Time Won't Wait - Jamiroquai etc Next rehearsal is tomorrow afternoon to go over some stuff ready for New Years Eve 👍 -
Genre-specific band names - yay or nay?
Acebassmusic replied to Mickeyboro's topic in General Discussion
Round here if you mention "blues band" to most of the publicans / promoters it will put them off booking you as they think it's going to be "very-slow-blues-dirges-that-have-solos-that-go-on-foreveeeeeeeeer".......and they might be right. 🤣 Call yourselves "blues-rock" and you're fine and it gives you latitue to play stuff or arrangements that the "blues-chin-strokers" have less to complain about. "Blues" tends to go through periods of popularity cycles so personally I would not have "blues" in the band title as it may deter both publicans and punters. YMMV 🤷♂️
