pantherairsoft Posted September 5, 2011 Author Share Posted September 5, 2011 Just got home - Long day. Sooooooooo worth it. Absolutely STUNNING! Plays like butter and the sound... oh my. I've played every Roscoe in Bass Direct, and owned another 2, but this has so much growl its bed wettingly good. Amazing mwah tones and some great fretted-like bite from the bridge pup. Oddly - you'll notice how different the bass looks between Gards & Marks pics shown on this thread - The reality is, that in the flesh it doesn't really look like either! The top appears far more pale and almost flesh like. It really is stunning. I'll whip out the Canon 500D in the morning and get some snaps in natural light. 1 very happy man!

pantherairsoft Posted September 6, 2011 Author Share Posted September 6, 2011 Its a rather grey day here in Nottingham and its chucking it down outside so the pics has a bit of glare and less than perfect exposure but hopefully they show the bass in natural light... I am absolutely over joyed with this bass, the tone is amazing - well rounded and punchy with lots of mwah. The neck is slightly rounder than my other Roscoes. My Signature fretted and old Century Standard both went very flat in the center of the neck, most noticeable from the 12th fret onwards, where as this neck remains more 'D' shaped throughout. It's very comfy and the rounding almost makes you notice the 19mm width a little less. Anyway, pics... Body shots front & back: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pantherairsoft Posted September 6, 2011 Author Share Posted September 6, 2011 And more... Diamond wood board (has a nice charcoal effect) and lovely neck: Stunning Diamond wood nut (has a lovely high gloss look as well): Headstock: Overhead shot (the grey sky made this shot difficult): Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pantherairsoft Posted September 8, 2011 Author Share Posted September 8, 2011 2 rehearsals down with it and WOW. Mind blowing tonally and a massive noticeable difference - even through my huge effects rig. The Roscoe Barts really open up the sound and the sound is much punchier.

Darkstrike Posted September 8, 2011 Share Posted September 8, 2011 Great news! I bet soloing the bridge pickup happens often! Being quad coils, they still sound punchy and huge in the bridge position, love 'em! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pantherairsoft Posted September 8, 2011 Author Share Posted September 8, 2011 The bridge sounds great for classic fretless tone with added fatness. Very nice. I'm using mainly on 50/50 at the mo - mostly due to the fact that the frequency mix there is exactly what my Boss OC2 has always wanted for perfect triggering (for the 1st time ever I think!)
