  1. depend of the price of your bass. if the tax are more than the price of a cheap ticket for USA(350 pounds) go there spend a week end in an cheap hostel and bring it back in a hand luggage with you in the plane for a safe travel. ask the seller a bill of cheap bass(exemple, a mexico fender for an USA custom). you can use ebay if it s not a shop. pay the taxes, save money and spent a weekend in the USA. cool no. ps: last time i fly from london to france(no taxes to pay), the guy saw the fly case musicman and say: oh a stingray? a very friendly custom officer who play guitar in gattwick airport ) he had a silouhette he says so don t abuse with the price of the bass bill but your fender will look old.
  2. thanks electriccheese, those Bass had a thunderous tone.
  3. thanks a lot haz, for your comment. that was a quick deal, friendly and secure, and a pleasure to meet you. hope next time we have more time to chat and drink a beer, and no marathon in London. I am happy the Roscoe ebony belong to you now.
  4. thanks for your comments i agree, i was the same before i haven't seen it for real. but i was very impressed by the real sound when i played one for the first time. i also try 6 strings & 5 strings brub's bass with buckeye burl top, ziricote and buckeye burl fingerboard, amazing sound and look. i can't imagine playing on another bass brand.

[quote name='octaedro7' post='970034' date='Sep 27 2010, 10:09 PM']Yeah, my Lakland would suit you better [/quote] you think! i was more for a fbass or another roscoe. i don t know lakland bass. but if you sell it, mine can be yours. and Spain is close to me. it s easier to deal. I think I will sell it to a shop and buy a 4 or 5 strings. gracias de donde estas tu?
  11. thanks for your bumps, Pete & octaero... it s a Nice Bass with rare top. but i still can t play 6 strings
  12. 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

[quote name='Doddy' post='925790' date='Aug 15 2010, 08:43 PM']They're probably too busy making stunning instruments like this[/quote] for the web site update, i don t know. but if you send a mail they amswer in cupple of hours. i asked them to built a 4 strings skb with an ebony top. keith said it's very hard to find top quality ebony top wood(very expensive option). i plan to buy another roscoe but 4 strings. you're right doddy: They're probably too busy making stunning instruments like this
  14. 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...
  15. SOLD SOLD SOLD SOLD SOLD SOLD SOLD SOLD SOLD SOLD SOLD SOLD and safely delivered in London from france.
