ZenBasses Posted December 18, 2012 Share Posted December 18, 2012 Its been a while since I've posted online, its good to have rediscovered an old friend. So old in fact that I couldn't remember my password and my previous account was linked to a now defunct email address. Anywho..Its good to be back. After visiting Jon today at his workshop (He's kindly mending my GB), I am eager to have another one of his splendid basses..... He built me a 5 String a good few years ago.. Bolt-On Elite.. <--- its on the website :oD I must say its one of the finest basses I have ever laid my hands (or eyes) on...... Question is affording sucha instrument again, Though this time I am thinking more along the lines of I have a lovely Roscoe SKB 3004 (yes a rare 4 String version) I have had it for a number of years and I was just wondering what these basses go for these days. A quick search on the classified here doesn't really get me much further on. There isn't one for sale that I can find....Any ideas peeps Please feel free to shout at me if I have posted this in the wrong section..

molan Posted December 18, 2012 Share Posted December 18, 2012 Pretty sure that's my old Roscoe! I'll buy it back if you decide to sell I can let you know what it's sold for previously as well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZenBasses Posted December 18, 2012 Author Share Posted December 18, 2012 That's a bit of a twist of faith don't you think It was defo an Ebay purchase and I remember it being a bit of a bargain... I picked it up from a Wedding Reception you were playing at. PM me with the details. It's not that I dislike the Roscoe, actually its been my workhorse for the past 18 months... But you know how things are when you see shiny and things staring back at you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
molan Posted December 19, 2012 Share Posted December 19, 2012 It's been through at least three pairs of hands since I sold it (assuming it's definitely my one). I bought from someone here on BC and sold it to another BC person. He then traded it on to another BC'er and that's where I lose track of it. Does it have Nordstrand or Bartolini pickups? It Barts when I bought it but it came with a set of Nordy's. I fitted them but when I sold it I included the original Barts with it. Pretty sure the next seller also kept both sets of pickups with it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
molan Posted December 19, 2012 Share Posted December 19, 2012 Just spotted it has a D-Tuner as well. Mine also had one of these (although I never got round to fitting it as I don't like them much). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZenBasses Posted December 19, 2012 Author Share Posted December 19, 2012 When I bought it, it did have a set of Nordie's with it, I actually got a offered a really good price for them, so I let them go. I placed them in the bass and tried it and tbh, I prefered the sound of the Bart's it came with. More of a dirty sound when pushed hard which at the time was what I was after. The Drop-D was fitted when I bought it, can't say that I use it much but the E-String doesn't go out of tune, which is what I have found with other Drop-D Leavers. What goes around certainly comes around. Someday I hope my old Shuker comes up for sale again. I regret selling that bass. Infact the proceeds from that sale went into the Roscoe. 5 strings for me was too much..!! lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
