eubassix Posted February 11, 2008 Share Posted February 11, 2008 (edited) Planning to ebay this .. but thought I'd give it (another) try here first, just in case. It's a Roscoe SKB-3000 4 string fretted bass. Beautiful and rare instrument and almost‘mint’ (just one small ding). This is a newer (the Teal color has only been available in more recent years) and rather rare model as Roscoe does not normally build 4 strings in the SKB, which features a slightly larger (and, in my opinion, both more comfortable and aesthetic) body than the normal LG model. A very nice bass combining build and specs from both the LG and SKB editions. Also features a very attractive spalted f/board. 34” scale. 10 – 16 – 19 mm (nut, 24th fret, bridge) spacing(s), 1½ “ nut. Only 8.4 lbs!

eubassix Posted February 19, 2008 Author Share Posted February 19, 2008 (edited) Thanks Si' , I think that was an early 'experiment' as I've only ever seen the one example (... could become a collectors item in years to come ! . ? ....)
