F bass bn6 vs roscoe century signature 6

[fiatcoupe432]

Does any of you got an idea on which to recommend ?

nope - and possibly it's in the wrong area of the forum?

I suspect the neck on the Roscoe would be quite a bit slimmer than the F - although that's based on my recollections of my old BN5 and a Roscoe 5 I player some years earlier. The F sound is quite traditional too, and the Roscoe more modern sounding?
I'm sure you wouldn't go wrong with either although the F basses tend only to come in Ash/Maple wood combos from what I've seen (with the occasional ebony finger board and exotic top).

You already Own a Roscoe Century 6 don't you!? In which case you have one of the finest instruments on earth. Job done!

I'd go for the Roscoe. More modern sounding with those lovely Bartolini pickups, compared to the F Bass, which to me have always sounded like a jazz bass with fairly 'cool' output.

The Roscoe does have a hotter output and a more modern sound. However, you have to like the Bartolini sound...

The FBass on the other hand has a great preamp that is organic sounding and versatile. I find the BN's to be more ergonomic. They output is a little lower on the FBass - but that's what gain knobs are for.

BTW, you can also look at the FBass VF series - it's their take on the classic Jazz bass. Hotter output, 34" scale, and you can get alder body/rosewood board or ash body/maple board standard...
