NBD Roscoe Beck 4

I found the bridge a bit fiddly to set up but it is stable and the 4 stringer I own has been a main recording bass for many years due to the great signal and choice of sounds off the passive circuit.  I think Bill Lawrence designed it? I’m pretty sure the pups are Bill Lawrence ones. I did have a Shoreline Gold 5 string but just found the neck too hefty for my hands. Silverfoxnik took that one off me.

Below, the OG of the Fender Roscoe Beck Model, if not mentioned beforehand.

My STEVENS Slant 4, from Michael Stevens, https://www.stevensguitars.com/news/

One of America's best, an original builder for FCS.

Michael built the model as a 6-string for Roscoe, later Fender made their variant which is highly regarded.

Mine is light and powerful. Stevens winds the pups & pretty much builds by hand. It took close to 2 years to get; I was originally told 1 year, but brush fires around his compound in Texas delayed things a bit!

One of my faves, for sure.
