AAAA Exhibition Myrtle Burl top, Red Spanish Cedar with Ash laminate, Wenge Wedge neck, Pau Ferro fingerboard....I can't stop smiling [url="http://s75.photobucket.com/user/KevMan69/media/Snapbucket/4C2ADEB6_zps3b2f62b3.jpg.html"][/url] [url="http://s75.photobucket.com/user/KevMan69/media/Snapbucket/A98963EA_zps58bf72d4.jpg.html"][/url] [url="http://s75.photobucket.com/user/KevMan69/media/Snapbucket/25A8BD18_zpsa36f5c3e.jpg.html"][/url] [url="http://s75.photobucket.com/user/KevMan69/media/Snapbucket/9C635716_zps9bc3bf66.jpg.html"][/url] [url="http://s75.photobucket.com/user/KevMan69/media/Snapbucket/72EF735B_zpscbc5fefe.jpg.html"][/url] [url="http://s75.photobucket.com/user/KevMan69/media/Snapbucket/E9249E23_zps836da01c.jpg.html"][/url] These are iPhone pictures and sadly they represent all that is wrong with cheap cameras! I will borrow the missus' Nikon and take some real photos at some point, these just do not do the bass justice! The grain in both the Myrtle Burl and the Red Cedar is beautiful and the neck is just superb. This is a fantastic bass.

Musicman20 Posted July 13, 2013 Share Posted July 13, 2013 I must admit out of all the modern shaped high end builders, I like the Roscoe's the most. Very tasteful. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kev Posted July 13, 2013 Author Share Posted July 13, 2013 I love it, sounds fantastic as well, still smiling! Looking through the original purchase documents, this was actually the first Signature model to arrive in the UK (2009 model). Completely immaculate as well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

51m0n Posted July 18, 2013 Share Posted July 18, 2013 How much does it weigh? Just wandering how much all that sexy wood adds to the weight compared to my Anorexic Century Standard 5.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kev Posted July 18, 2013 Author Share Posted July 18, 2013 Actually quite weighty for a roscoe, comes in at over 10lb, balances so well though you don't really notice the extra weight! Plus, no matter how light swamp ash is, ill always prefer the look an deeper tone of Spanish cedar, it's gorgeous Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dazed Posted July 19, 2013 Share Posted July 19, 2013 Nice figuring on the top. How does it compare to the W&T? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

51m0n Posted July 21, 2013 Share Posted July 21, 2013 They sound fab But maybe the low B is a little too flexible? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kev Posted July 21, 2013 Author Share Posted July 21, 2013 It is a little actually, but it's not too bad. Do they do custom DR sets? As i'd love a 125 or 130 with the 40, 60, 80, 100. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
51m0n Posted July 22, 2013 Share Posted July 22, 2013 I really don't know I run 45 to 130 and as long as I don't dig in to hard its fine, but occasionally in the hest of the moment I twat it when slapping on the low b and it's all a bit splaasnk.... I blame the idiot playing it entirely! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
