Bassdude BE Posted October 6, 2020 Share Posted October 6, 2020 (edited) Had the fretted 4 & 5 string en fretless 6 string version of this, excellent basses all of them and they probably had the best playability of all the >200 basses I´ve owned so far, Keith Roscoe knows how to build a good bass for sure!

Alanbass Posted April 2, 2021 Share Posted April 2, 2021 Hi, can you tell me what the mark is on the back if the neck of the bass please? It looks a little like a burn mark but I'm it's not! Thanks. Alan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skb558 Posted April 2, 2021 Author Share Posted April 2, 2021 It’s a blemish in the wood, knot perhaps; not a burn 😀 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bassmanforhire Posted April 27, 2021 Share Posted April 27, 2021 I played this at BassDirect, loved it, sadly, timing is a few months too soon for me. Fingers crossed on a windfall! Only played Roscoe basses (apart from a short stint with an Ibanez) since 2013, fantastic in all respects. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
