[quote name='Dazed' timestamp='1432902918' post='2786063'] Wow that's an expensive service? Cracking bass tho as usual from the Kev [/quote] Standard service is £80 or so I think, gets expensive with any work that needs doing, parts replacing, electronics servicing etc. Wouldn't have anyone else touch it though

I picked up the Wal yesterday evening. It is now set up to perfection, fully serviced by Paul and is an absolute joy to play. A bridge screw and saddle screw were replaced as well as the jack plug, and the fret edges were rounded off, electronics serviced, fully lubricated parts and a full set up with D'addario Flexsteels 40-95 guage, now its like a new bass again. It is with a really, really heavy heart that I still offer this up, as this instrument is everything I want in a bass, but I simply cannot afford to keep it. I will be finding ways of trying to keep this, so act fast or otherwise miss out. I have had an awful lot of interest as you may expect and am working my way through emails, but certainly available at the moment. The cost of the setup/repair work was a little higher than I had budgeted for (£££) so my price is[b] firm.[/b]

Lots of interest but still available. Leaning towards a cash deal on this, folks

Well, this is a bit special!

You can't make your mind up with this bass, can you? Each time you have listed it I have not been able to resist having a look. Do you have any pictures of it in good light e.t.c.?

Thanks all for the positive comments [quote name='No lust in Jazz' timestamp='1432633643' post='2783335'] If its just a tonal issue, have you considered changing out the Bartolini's? GLWTS [/quote] I have thought about this, but having owned the bass such a short amount of time, I feel modifying it now would not be the right thing to do. I do think the Bart pickups are a big part of the Roscoe tone so would not wish to change this, it just isn't quite right for me at the moment. I am more partial to Warwick and Wal tone and this bass is quite different from both, so it needs an owner who will love it as it is

[quote name='Dazed' timestamp='1432508658' post='2782240'] Where have you been hiding this beauty ? Look at it !! Cor! [/quote] Haha it is a beauty, I really like the swamp ash grain on this bass too, and I usually can't stand the stuff!

Roscoe LG 5 String Bass - built in 2011. Purchased on here very recently: [url="http://basschat.co.uk/topic/260969-on-hold-roscoe-lg-3005-custom/page__p__2759992__hl__roscoe%20lg__fromsearch__1#entry2759992."]http://basschat.co.u...1#entry2759992.[/url] I'm searching for the right 5 string bass and, although this is an absolute joy to play, tonally I am somewhere else at the moment. So, it pains me to offer this back up for sale. I am prone to changing my mind and will continue fiddling with my setup to see if the bass will work for me after all! Stunning high spec instrument and a fantastic player. Would be around £3300 new with all the extras. Has been set up by me with D'Addario Nickel 40-100 strings with a low action. Super lightweight at a shade over 8lb. Bass is in mint condition. Please note this is a full blown custom model and not one of the cheaper standard series basses. Interested in sale or trade for similar high end 5 string basses. Price includes shipping (by courier or by meet up), extra for EU. Happy to offer cash either way in a trade, but a sale is priority. Specifications: Roscoe LG 3005 Custom Buckeye Burl Top (£350 - £500 Option) Swamp Ash Body Natural Finish Birdseye Maple Fretboard (£55 Option) Bartolini PU's Aguilar OBP-3 (£60 Option) Maple - Wenge - Maple Neck (£?? Option) (Cannot find this in the pricelist, but it is an uncharge from standard purpleheart) Roscoe Hardcase (£140 Option) Weight - 8lb 2oz The photos do not do this bass justice, at all, but should give you an idea of how stunning the woods are.

D'addario Flexsteels - superb strings but I prefer Nickel on my Roscoe so no need for them now. They do not do a 40-125 Flexsteels set as standard, so this set is made up of the 4 string 40-95 set and a seperately purchased Flexsteel .125 B. So, 40 - 60 - 75 - 95 - 125. They are cut to fit a 35 inch scale roscoe 3 x 2 headstock with 3 winds, so I'm willing to guarantee these will fit all 34 inch scale instrument and the majority of 35 inch. Dingwall, probably not They have about 30 minutes use, so basically new. £22 shipped, which is less than the cost of the 4 string set alone from most retailers NB the .125 is not Tapered, contrary to the image!

Bargain!
