steve Posted June 9, 2007 Posted June 9, 2007 that fretboard is fabulous. I have a very early 4 string version of these - its fantastic to play, and the pickups and preamps sound really nice
eubassix Posted June 10, 2007 Author Posted June 10, 2007 Hi Russ I'm up in the north-east (Teesside).
NickThomas Posted June 10, 2007 Posted June 10, 2007 This looks good for me . Russ buys the Roscoe and does all the legwork getting it down from up North. He gets bored of it after a year and that way I only have a 20 minute drive to go take it off his hands lol

Would love to try it out though
eubassix Posted June 15, 2007 Author Posted June 15, 2007 The Roscoe is now up on ebay (can't resist those 10p Listings Day/s!):- [url="http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&ih=006&sspagename=STRK%3AMESE%3AIT&viewitem=&item=160127885312&rd=1&rd=1"]http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?Vie...p;rd=1&rd=1[/url] For B'Ch Forum members I'd be happy to reduce by the ebay fees and include free (24h.) shippping, enabling me to end the listing early.
