nobodysprefect Posted May 6, 2011 Share Posted May 6, 2011 Yes, it's the best fiver I've had, and I've had some of the best. Tracks wonderfully and has incredible attack. Without being all thuddy like a Fender often is. I don't know how Keith makes the necks, but there's something about the Roscoe neck that allows for a ton of attack without sacrificing THICK tone and good sustain. If I was fives-player I'd still have the white one. I'm not too miffed about not having it anymore, though, since I've found new love: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nobodysprefect Posted May 6, 2011 Share Posted May 6, 2011 (edited) [quote name='Soliloquy' post='1200576' date='Apr 15 2011, 02:43 PM']Some beautiful basses there. I had a 5 string SKB a couple of years ago, it was a very cool bass. I'm maybe thinking of trading my Overwater for an SKB 6 string. Can anyone tell me how wide the necks are on the 6 string models ?[/quote] The five-string and six-string necks are VERY different! The white five is the easiest-playing bass I've played. And has a B-string that can take on Dingwall that spans a whopping 37". The sixes come in 18.3mm and 19mm spacing (I've on each ^_^ ) and I was VERY disappointed when I first got my hands on the SKB3006 that I later sold to Mark. Was nothing like the five! But, this is one those things in bass playing where the problem corrects itself with practice time! Going from a five to a six puts one outside one's comfort zone. The problem, in other words, was unrealistic expectation from my part. The SKB3006 had an incredibly FAT tone. Right now it looks like I'll be sticking with my two fretted CSVI's and trade the NX6 for something fretless...

In addition, the neck is probably my favourite of all basses I've ever played. Thanks again for sending it my way, and rest assured it's getting played a lot!

Pete Academy Posted June 8, 2011 Share Posted June 8, 2011 I've owned a load of basses over the years, but my Roscoe is the best ever. The 'B' string is amazing. The bass is effortless to play. And they are way cheaper than a Fodera. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
