dangee Posted September 9, 2008 Share Posted September 9, 2008 (edited) The ever spiralling cost of my upcoming wedding forces this sale! Roscoe SKB 3000 4 string bass. This is a rare custom made Roscoe, in that it is an SKB with the pickups in the LG position. It is in the newer translucent teal colour (with matching headstock). Both the body and the headstock are flamed maple. The fingerboard is spalted maple with the Roscoe inlay at the 12th fret. Bartolini pickups and preamp. Comes with a light hard case (like the Sadowsky cases). Other specs: • Weighs a lightweight 8.4 lbs • 34" Scale - 24 Frets • String spacing: 1 9/16" at the nut 2 3/8" at the 24th fret • Exclusive graphite and steel reinforced precision adjustable neck • Lightweight Hipshot tuning keys in black • Precision milled custom design bridge by Hipshot in black • Hand carved GraphTech nut • Controls are volume, blend, bass and treble Added bonus: I was planning to modify this bass and have bought a pair of Nordstrand Big Singles (which are built for the bass and will slip straight in) and a Hipshot d-tuner. The pair cost an extra £150. These are both boxed and included in the sale. Previously owned by Eubassix, so obviously of great pedigree! The bass retails at $3475 (plus shipping and duties). Will post or meet (within reason and for costs). Dan Edited December 16, 2008 by dangee Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bigwan Posted September 11, 2008 Share Posted September 11, 2008 Having slept on it I'm still having serious diffs getting this beauty out of my head... Somebody get it bought and take it out of my sight! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dangee Posted September 11, 2008 Author Share Posted September 11, 2008 PMs replied to. Just to clarify, this is up as a straight sale (no trades) and £900 is the bottom line on it! If I get no takers at that price I'll throw the Nordies in it, keep it and sell my 75 RI instead. Thanks for all the comments so far...

Toasted Posted September 11, 2008 Share Posted September 11, 2008 I think that's actually an LG3000 - to be a pedant. It's also beautiful! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dangee Posted September 11, 2008 Author Share Posted September 11, 2008 All PM's replied to. Thanks for the continued interest. To clarify further, I will take £900 [u]plus[/u] shipping, paypal fees, etc. Overseas shipping is fine but to be organised by the buyer.

warwickhunt Posted September 11, 2008 Share Posted September 11, 2008 Just out of interest how much bigger is the SKB body over the LG (is it several cm wider/longer/deeper or are we talking mm) and is it a different shape, it doesn't look dissimilar on the Roscoe site.

eubassix Posted September 12, 2008 Share Posted September 12, 2008 Hi Dan - thanks for the note re. 'pedigree', Chum. Just to state (the obvious) that this is a really nice Roscoe bass and somewhat rare in being a combination of the LG / SKB models (the SKB is not offered as a '4) .. and that Dan, from personal experience, is a great guy and looks after his instruments really well: so description / replies will be totally accurate. + Best Regards for the forthcoming event !!
