Aw, shucks....you're too kind 😊 👍

Make sure you get the thin flexi ones as they cut with scissors. I bought these. (No affiliation) The other tempered glass ones just shatter.....3 guesses how I know....duh! 🤣

Yes you did. It certainly was a great bass and very similar to this one 👍

For sale is my Roscoe LG3005 Custom 5 USA string bass including original Roscoe lightweight case. I’ve had 2 of these basses over the years and they both live up to their reputation as quality instruments made by one of the best luthiers around. The bass is very versatile, balances well and easy to play. Why sell? Well, the merry-go-round of gear continues and I’ve decided I need to apply the rule as one comes in, another goes out. Looking at the 2017 pricing brochure (attached) from the Roscoe website it looks like, new, this bass would be around the £4,000+ price range before shipping and taxes! The colour "Trans Red Gloss" is show in the photos both in direct sunlight and indoors. The 5th photo (close up body shot) is probably closest to the actual colour you see. There are some very small marks on the top part of the body (circled on the photos). These seem to only be in the top clear coat of the finish. On the back of the bass there is a laptop screen protector! I kid you not. I have used this on a number of my basses which reduces the chance of buckle rash. Peels off easy and doesn’t leave marks or residue. Collection preferred from Aberdeen so you can try it out but as Aberdeen is a long way from most of civilisation, I will ship to mainland UK at cost using Parcelforce. I’ve estimated this based on a London postcode to be £20 via Express24 (without insurance) Specs: Roscoe LG3005 USA (2007) Top: 5A Exhibition-grade quilted maple with trans red gloss finish Body: Mahogany Neck: Maple and purple heart Fretboard: Spalted purpleheart Neck: Bolt on, 35” with graphite rod reinforcement Nut: Hand carved graphite, width 45.5mm No of frets: 24 String spacing at bridge: set at 19mm (adjustable) String spacing at nut: 9mm Pickups: Bartolini Electronics: Bartolini NTMB+F Output trim pot accessible through the back plate (circled on the photos) Controls: Vol (push / pull for active / passive), pan, treble, mid (push / pull freq select 800Hz & 250Hz), bass Strings: D’Addario Nickel EXL170-5 (.045, .065, .080, .100, .130) Neck relief currently set at 0.010”, truss rod fully working Action: set at 2.0mm at the 24th fret B and 1.8mm under the G Black hardware, Gotoh Ultralight tuners & Hipshot bridge Weight: 8.4lbs / 3.8kg Case: original Roscoe lightweight moulded insert foam case

PM me the details and I'll have a think 🤔 👍

These are great preamps and I have one installed in one of my basses at present. Just in case anyones looking at this and thinks they only have space for 1 battery.....no problem the pre will work fine off 9v. 👍 I've attached the manual which confirms this (page 5 bottom left). flexcore_manual.pdf

I did some hunting and found a link to the old Audere site with a similar preamp on it here. It has an explanation of what the 6-way switch does. It looks like the one for sale has the knobs on the plate rotated by 180deg with the vol where the 6 way should be @jamesugster?? Looks an interesting preamp and I'd like to try it out but dont have a need at the moment. 😟

EXL means nickel strings and EPS means stainless in D'Addario language. I have a set of these on my 35" scale bass if that helps. The windings would be too short for 36" scale or if you're running strings through the body.

For sale, in superb condition, are my Seymour Duncan SSB-5 NYC Dual Coil 5 String bridge and neck soapbar style passive humbucker pickups, SSB-5NYC-B (bridge) and SSB-5NYC-N (neck). The 4 wire pickups can be wired in several different configurations either permanently or switchable with a 3 way DPDT switch to give parallel / single coil / series options. The switch allows 3 different voicings from Vintage J Bass, Noiseless single coil to maximum output and full sound. The Basslines logo is the only sign of slight use. New versions of the pickups (post 2022) are now printed with “Seymour Duncan” as the logo. Name change info. I have attached files giving the pickup dimensions and the wiring options available. The pickups are currently priced on Thomann at £360 for a pair - Here. As Aberdeen is a long way from most of civilisation I am including shipping to mainland UK, using Parcelforce. I'm open to shipping to outside the UK and will quote the cost on a case by case basis. Size: approx 100mm x 36mm Magnet material: Alnico II DC resistance bridge: 5.2 kOhm DC resistance neck: 4.6 kOhm Shielded 4-wire connection cable Made in USA
