Roscoe Century Std 6-String w/Soft Case Overview: - 2009 - 35" scale length - 24 frets - 18mm string spacing - Solid swamp ash body - Red finish - 3-piece maple neck (super flat and easy to play) - Rosewood fingerboard - Hipshot tuners - Dunlop straplock buttons and strap attachments (included but not photographed) - Bartolini NTMB 3-band pre-amp with volume, pickup blend, treble/bass stack, mid/mid freq select push/pull (250/800hz) - Bartolini hum-free pickups - New Rotosound RS666LD Swing Bass Stainless Steel Roundwound Strings (35-45-65-80-105-130). - Weight: 9 lbs (4.08kg) - ludicrously light for a 6-string (a 4-string J-bass is 8.5 - 10.5 lbs) - Roscoe deluxe gig bag (fair bit of wear and tear on the gig bag!) - The bass has been getting regularly gigged as my no.1 bass for about 6 years so has a few worn patches, scratches and small dings. This is reflected in the price and the blemishes are photographed below. - The finger ramp in between the pickups is made from mahogany and makes the bass play like butter, but if you don't like it it's only attached with double-sided tape and can be easily removed. Delivery: I'm based down in Brighton and would obviously prefer to have it collected, but I don't mind driving anywhere in the bottom half of the country, so I can come to you, or meet you halfway if you're from the North. Otherwise, we can arrange shipping somehow. Trades: I'm just looking for a straight cash sale on this one so, with respect, no trade offers please. Thanks all! These vids aren't amazing mixes but you get the idea.

String spacing is 18mm. Ad amended.

35" scale length. Thanks for the question, have amended the ad.

Overview: Beautiful bass in good condition. It has two dings on the top edge (only really visible from the side - photographed) and a scratch on the bottom (ditto), but is otherwise pretty immaculate. Front, neck, fretboard, headstock, all super smooth. - 2013 - 35" scale length - 18mm string spacing - Spanish cedar body - Figured chechen top with natural oil finish - 3-piece maple neck (super flat and easy to play) - Birdseye maple diamondwood fretboard - Bartolini NTMB 3-band active preamp (volume, bass, push/pull mid at 250 hz or 800 hz, treble, pickup blend) - Bartolini hum-free 'J' pickups in 'JB' configuration - Weight: 9 lbs dead on (4.08kg) - ludicrously light for a 6-string (a 4-string J-bass is 8.5 - 9.5 lbs) - Currently strung up with roundwounds Delivery: I'm based down in Brighton and would obviously prefer to have it collected, but I don't mind driving anywhere in the bottom half of the country, so I can come to you, or meet you halfway if you're from the North. Otherwise, we can arrange shipping somehow. Video: I'm mostly a fretted player these days so haven't played this all that much, but I do have one video of me playing it at the bottom of this post. The tone is slightly overdriven to fit the track, and the video isn't great quality, but it gives you some idea of how easy this bass is to shred on! Swaps: I’m only interested in a 6-string fretted Ken Smith, for which I’ll swap both this bass and my fretted version! Otherwise it’s a straight sale please folks... Thanks all!

Wow, that sold quickly!

EHX Bass Microsynth As you can see, it's scratched and missing one of the white nubbins atop a slider, but in terms of functionality it's tip-top. Box is long gone but I can throw in a TC Electronic 9V adapter if you need one. I'll cover postage. UK only please. Based in Brighton in case you're nearby. Cheers.

Just to update anyone else who's interested, this sold.

Is this bass still around? Beautiful.

PM'd

Is the Octobass still knocking around man?

Hey is this still going?

WITHDRAWN Due to a new project that would benefit from the occasional bit of fretless, I've decided to keep this beast after all. Guess I'll have to find funds for my Anaconda from somewhere else...

WITHDRAWN - SORRY All pictures and info here: [url="http://www.danpaveley.com/roscoe.html"]http://www.danpaveley.com/roscoe.html[/url] I bought this very recently from Bass Direct and was so blown away with it that I traded my Dingwall SJ5 with someone for a fretted version. The fretted is getting a tonne of mileage but I think this amazing fretless will just gather dust if left with me. In exactly the same condition as when I grabbed it from Bass Direct, which is to say immaculate except for a barely visible ding on the edge of the body (pictured). I attended an Anaconda Bass showcase last night ([url="http://www.anacondabasses.co.uk/home/4573732547"]http://www.anacondab...home/4573732547[/url]) and was so impressed that I want to raise funds for a custom-shop Anaconda J-bass, hence this sale. Thanks!

TRADED!! Enjoy it, Ben! I'm loving the new Roscoe! Thanks everyone else for all the trade offers. Hope plenty more SJ5s come up soon so everyone can have one!

Bump

Just to end this thread, the bass sold. Mods can close it now.

[quote name='Black Coffee' timestamp='1446062267' post='2896642'] These are a we bit of a niche market sale, so have a bump. I'd love another one of these but I simply don't need it. [/quote] Haha much appreciated! Definitely niche, but they're one of those basses that, once you decide you want one, you get really, really hung up on!

Bump

Philip, I've PM'd you with an idea

Any chance of uploading some more pictures? Definitely interested. Thanks.

Any chance of some more pics? I'm actually getting very tempted by this.

Someone's informed me that £2200 was a bit steep compared to other Dingwalls in the marketplace and basically all that have sold on here in the past. Having looked at final sale prices of other Super Js, I've decided that £1850 for the above spec seems more accurate. NEW, BETTER PHOTOS JUST ADDED!

Whatever happened to this bass?

PRICE NOW £1850 (based on what others have sold for in the past. That's about the lowest I'd be willing to go) TRADE: Explicitly only for a 5 or 6 string fretted Roscoe (SKB or Century only; I'm not into the LG). ------- PHOTOS, AUDIO AND INFO: [url="http://www.danpaveley.com/dingwall-sj5.html"]http://www.danpavele...ngwall-sj5.html[/url] ------- [u]Delivery[/u] I can either drive it to you if you can cover fuel costs, or post it by private courier. I've got all the secure boxing and padding etc. for postage.

Did this ever sell?
