artisan Posted December 19, 2014 Share Posted December 19, 2014 (edited) 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.

miles'tone Posted December 20, 2014 Share Posted December 20, 2014 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!

artisan Posted December 21, 2014 Author Share Posted December 21, 2014 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roland Rock Posted December 21, 2014 Share Posted December 21, 2014 Looks great. Is it 33" scale? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
artisan Posted December 21, 2014 Author Share Posted December 21, 2014 [quote name='Roland Rock' timestamp='1419165795' post='2637104'] Looks great. Is it 33" scale? [/quote] 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.
