fonkyme Posted August 15, 2010 Author Share Posted August 15, 2010 the roscoes are the best pete i agree. this bass sounds is incredible. the neck bend you hand naturally and it's like butter to play. you don t feel it's a 6 strings neck. the ebony top( for me king of bass woods), act like a natural compressor. very deep, very percussive and crispy. with finger or salp(i love slap), it's sounds wood...

nobodysprefect Posted August 16, 2010 Share Posted August 16, 2010 Here a reciprocative bump for ya! Ah, the sweet dilemma facing the prospective Roscoe six buyer: a sweet sweet SKB with v rare top or a unique Century Sig? Better access to soloing range or bass line range? Brown or striped?

slapierro Posted August 17, 2010 Share Posted August 17, 2010 (edited) Hi fonkyme, ne serais-tu pas français? i know that you seem interested by a 4 or 5 strings to trade but anyway is a Warwick Custom Shop Thumb B.O.6 would be enough interesting you even if it's a 6 one? Take a look at my thread,if you're not in that bass don't worry and have a free bump for this real beauty! the fingerboard radius seems rather round on the SKB 3006, is it right or it keep rather a flatter one? Thanks! Edited August 17, 2010 by slapierro Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fonkyme Posted August 17, 2010 Author Share Posted August 17, 2010 (edited) thanks everybody oui je suis français, de marseille, très jolie basse, mais c'est mieux de parler en anglais pour tous le monde. if i keep a 6 bass, for shure i keep the roscoe, thanks again for the warwick proposal. the sound of the roscoe is really unbelievable, so balanced, so perfect. i am happy to played 6 before, and now i know more about the F.....G scale. i want to come back on 4 string or 5 if i don't find what i want.but 4 strings is prefered. so many people ask me about the neck. the bottom of the neck is not bigger than a cigarette pack at the last fret, sorry for using this to compare... it' very flat. first of all, i got very little hands, when you are on the neck you don't need so many pressure, you play faster with your fingers, and triplets are more controled, and fast, the slap is fantastic. you can bend each strings, even big string in low note on the first fret. every detailed giving to the string is heard on the amp. i put some pics of the neck Edited August 18, 2010 by fonkyme Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

octaedro7 Posted September 29, 2010 Share Posted September 29, 2010 Your bass is so tempting but I've just purchase a sixer that I'm in love with and I need to reduce the number of basses that I have.
