Sheps a legend!!

Hahaha! You guys!

Legend might be a bit far... I am pretty awesome though!

Now, buy my stuff! Ha!

It’s been a loooooooooooong time since I posted a board here and given the size of my old creations, this might seem a bit tame. But, this is my new essentials board (aka. “I want to sound like Tool”).

I’m super happy with this set up. The space at the top will eventually be filled by an Iron Ether Nimbus. One day. It’s a pedal I had and loved for the creative ambience is gave me. I sold it and nothing else really ever filled the hole.

Board consists of:

Darkglass Vintage Microtubes.

Darkglass Alpha Omicron.

Nemphasis Steam Bass.

Source Audio Nemesis.

TC Electronic PolyTune.

All sat on a PedalTrain Metro 16 and powered by a Cioks DC7.

NOT happy! 🤬😉 Saw your bass advertised and immediately began looking down the back of the couch to try and find the farthings to offer in exchange. Turns out 1) there was sod all there! and 2) you'd already bought it! Darn it I was too slow.....but happy its gone to a good member here. 👍

I used to have a very similar one and a friend persuaded me to sell it to them during one of my "not that bright" moments Here's a pic of my old one and hope you have lots of fun with yours 😁 They are excellent basses.

Really nice. Love the burl underneath that red gloss. 

It's been a while, but this thread need resurrecting!

After an extended stint of having no basses, let alone any Roscoes (I had five at one time!?), life has begun to get itself back on track. I've been playing a Yammy TRB to keep my going while I considered my next purchase, then this came up and I couldn't resist. It's been here in my hands for a few days and I can't put it down.

LG5 Custom (2007 model, immaculate)
Lightweight mahogany body
Exhibition-grade quilted maple top
Trans cordovan gloss red finish
Maple/purpleheart/maple Neck
Spalted purpleheart fretboard
Bart pups
Aguilar OBP-3 Preamp
Black hardware (ebony control knobs, graphtech nut)
Strung with Black Beauties, because the black and red combo is stunning

Sorry about the glare on the pics... one of those annoying days, plus it's a REALLY high-gloss finish.

Hi,string space is 16.5mm,

The body is normal like a standar bass

Thanks!

Is the EMG a factory install, or modded later? This is the first one I’ve seen that doesn’t have the pickup hidden under a full size ramp. Also, no piezo on this one?

Thanks!

What’s the string spacing on this beauty?

Also, as it’s chambered, how deep is the body?

Thanks.

Happy with how this is turning out just midi and a few more bits of power to sort out 

Cluster Flux for the win!

Hi, what is the scale length and string spacing on this one? I've seen VB6's ranging from 30-36" and 17-19mm string spacing.

I love Atlansia basses, but these Oxford are certainly at least ... ugly. Thanks for the reminder. 🤮

Yeah - that's pretty awful!

Come (back) to Europe. 😁

We're actually contemplating a move to Germany. My brother-in-law moved there 6 months ago (he got a job with Thomann) and is absolutely loving life. We went over to visit between lock-downs and felt really inspired. It's a serious consideration.

Edit - this thread has gone major off topic!

Nevertheless, cheap they ain't, and even if you bought them direct from BassLab, you'd still get hit for import taxes post-Brexit.

So that €3350 just became €4020. Plus, presumably, shipping and currency conversion... eeek!

This is the agonising truth. At €3100, compared to other luthier specs, it sounds about right. But add VAT once it hits the UK and it’s time to cry. Wish I’d investigated this a few months ago

The current price is €3100 with a finish if your choice. Plus €250 for a 6 string.

I also want one.

Solved!!!

Basslab L-Bow!

My google-foo has failed me!

Many (many) years ago I stumbled over a bass maker and one model in particular that gave me major GAS. It was ‘very’ out there, most notably from the fact that the upper horn travelled the full length of the neck and connected to the headstock! I’ve never seen anything else quite like it - I can sketch something if the description doesn’t make sense.

They typically came in very striking colours as well - metallic purples and blues etc.

I seem to think that they were a composite, opposed to wood build, but that detail may be incorrect.

Does anyone know what the hell I’m talking about? I’d love to track down the builder (and ideally, one of said basses!).

Thanks,

Shep

Hi,

What is the scale length on this one?

Thanks!

I assume this sold, but if it falls through, please let me know!

thanks.

Hi Shep are you still in charge of that lovely Roscoe?

Afraid not. I mentioned above - it’s now in a museum in Japan. I miss it so badly

Hey great to see you Shep! Welcome back!

I've bought stuff from you in the past,and always a big fan of your pedalboards 😁

Hey dude!

Rebuilding said pedalboard is currently in planning

Not a pedalboard, but the collection that it comes from...

 

I approve this collection!

Boooo  lost loves

The one that really hurts is my 32" scale Roscoe LG5. That was sold during financial hardship. Sometime later, I tried to trace it back through the person I sold it to, and then the person they sold it to etc. Ends up that it's now in a musical instrument museum in Japan and is not for sale 

I have my eye on something in the market place though. Hoping it's still there when my inheritance comes in soon

Hey Shep  You still got that Rim Marseer?

I don’t

But I’d very much like to find it again! It was pretty special (though the neck was a tad wide for me).

You guys... making me feel almost famous! hahahaha
