NBD (Roscoe content)

[artisan]

well i nipped down to Bass Direct this morning with the intention of buying a lovely Spector Euro LX5 in a lovely plumb gloss colour.
the Spector was very nice & i was going to buy it until i was passed a rather nice Roscoe Century 5
oh bugger it was love at first play,it is an amazing bass,i have never played a bass anything like this before,suddenly the Spector wasn't as nice as it first seemed.
the Roscoe is beautifully made,plays like a dream & the sound,OMG the sound it blew my mind,absolute perfection i bloody well love it.
i had no intention of even looking at the Roscoe basses but hey i now own one,it cost me slightly more money than i planned to spend but frankly i don't care,it was well worth every penny so own such a beautiful instrument.
top class service at Bass Direct,well worth the 300 mile round trip (yes i am knackered after setting off at 5:25 am) i can't stop playing it & don't really need to sleep,do i ?
ok here's a couple of crappy mobile phone pic's,i will put some better ones up when i can bring my self to put it down long enough to dig my camera out.

It's bloody lovely

Niiiice..
I love how wide the string spacing appears at the nut. Just how I would prefer.
Never had the pleasure of playing a Roscoe (probably a good thing too as I like sleeping at night! )

Congratulations mate it's a corker.

Enjoy!

Looking good. I had my first trip to Bass Direct today. Some seriously lovely instruments in stock.

thanks guys,Bass Direct is certainly a very dangerous place for us GASing bass players to visit

used the Roscoe at last night gig,it was awesome with an immense B string,love it,love it,love it.
i can recommend trying out a Roscoe bass,just be prepared to part with some serious dosh though

Cheers.
No it's a 35" scale whereas the Ibanez next to it is 34".
Switching between the two is not problem at all,mind I'm used to a 42" on my DB so they both feel small by comparison.
