poptart Posted July 29, 2007 Share Posted July 29, 2007 Bump for a nice guy and a really nice bass! This Roscoe is mint and plays really well - a great price for a quality instrument. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
loudandclear Posted July 30, 2007 Share Posted July 30, 2007 Just to agree here - I have met Steve through buying and selling various basses to him/from him - he is a top guy and this bass is a real killer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bigwan Posted September 4, 2007 Share Posted September 4, 2007 Hi Steve, What's the string spacing like on this lovely? What would you compare the sound of this bass to? I've heard people say that Roscoes sound like the best P-bass but a 5 string. 35" scale? What you gassing for now? Ian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flanker Posted September 4, 2007 Author Share Posted September 4, 2007 Hi Ian I've just tried to confirm the string spacing on the Roscoe website but can't find it, it's very comfy for me anyway and I have smallish hands. That's the reason I sold the Celinders really as they are just a bit too chunky for me - still my favourites otherwise though! I'm sticking to the 4's for now. The Roscoe has a very full tone and quite versatile too,I'm sure you are aware that it has a reputation for having an awesome B string. I love the tone but with the Bartolini electrics the slap lets it down but I was talking to Mr BassDirect today(Mark) and he says that Nordstrand pickups can sort that out. It is 35" scale. I'm still loving the Fbass, actually the more I play it the more I like it - which is nice! I would like a really light Jazz bass so I'm considering the Nordstrand VJ5. They are meant to be really nice basses and they often come in between 8 to 9 lbs which is great. We'll see! I'm very happy with my amplification: EBS classic pre/QSC/Epi410ul and I also have a Mesa walkabout which is just fantastic , especially played through my other Epi 212NYC cab, which usually gets an old Ashdown ABM400 through it! Looking at that lot I should be bloody well happy eh? Anyway there's a possible trade in the air - for an old bass of mine! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theosd Posted September 8, 2007 Share Posted September 8, 2007 I am interested, very interested indeed! The only money I have forthcoming, though, is my student loan money which would be enough for me to buy this from you, but I also need to pay for my car insurance! If you are still not parted with this in a couple of months I would be grateful if you could contact me [email protected] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flanker Posted September 14, 2007 Author Share Posted September 14, 2007 I've decided to put some Nordstrand pickups in this bass to see if I can get a nice slap tone from it. It might still be for sale when they arrive so PM me if you're interested.(Pickups should be here in a couple of months). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
