Kev Posted October 6, 2013 Share Posted October 6, 2013 (edited) [size=4]Cash Value: [s]£2100[/s] £2050£[/size] [size=4]Trade Value: [s]£2300[/s] £2200[/size] Up for sale I have my Roscoe Century Signature 5, built in 2009. The Signature Series are the top of the range Roscoe basses and this one is no exception. Immaculate build quality and superb tone. RRP when built was £4010 (believe it is a little more now) and original selling price was £3049 from Bass Direct. I am the second owner, bought from here [url="http://classicandcoolguitars.co.uk/sold_basses/roscoev.htm"]http://classicandcoo...ses/roscoev.htm[/url]. Comes with all the case candy and even the original Bass Direct receipt. [size=4]It is in brand new condition, no surface scratching or any dings. The only marks on the whole instrument is a little nic on the nut, which is photographed, and very light string marks under the B on the neck pickup. It weighs in at a little over 10lb and balances wonderfully.[/size] Features: Exhibition Myrtle Burl top (£300 upgrade) Red Spanish Cedar body Clear high polish finish Wenge/Maple/Wenge Wedge neck (£100 option) Pau Ferro fingerboard 35" Scale - 24 fret - 16" fingerboard radius - 1 3/4" at the nut 2 7/8" at the 24th fret Exclusive graphite and steel reinforced precision adjustable neck Bartolini 3-band pre amp with pull/push mid frequency select (250Hz/800Hz), volume, pan, stacked bass Bass /Treble (+/-14db @ 30 Hz and +/-16db @ 10 KHz) Bartolini/Roscoe pickups Black Hipshot ultralight tuners, Black Hipshot aluminium A style bridge Roscoe Hard Case Construction quality is the best I have seen in an instrument, easily on par with the very, very best. Such an easy bass to set up as well, very responsive truss rod and I have the action low, perfect for me but can very easily altered to accommodate other playing styles. Reason for sale is that I have decided I cannot justify having so much money invested in one instrument. As superb as it is, given my situation it makes no sense. This for sale at £2100.

Stubass1969 Posted October 6, 2013 Share Posted October 6, 2013 Would you take a musicman stingray 5 and a fender roscoe beck 5 in a trade? I'm after scaling down to one quality all round bass. Thanks Shaun Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bkman42 Posted October 7, 2013 Share Posted October 7, 2013 well if you ever change your mind on a trade/cash i have this bass up for trade with cash on top JAYBEE 4 (Plays and sounds just like a sadowsky) brian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kev Posted October 8, 2013 Author Share Posted October 8, 2013 (edited) Not my thing but thanks for the offer It's only really straight trades that are a complete no-go; I will consider trades that have a good amount of cash coming my way. I want to get back to Warwick ways, so trades for Warwicks plus cash would be great, but almost certainly would need to be 1990 or earlier. This bass could be withdrawn at any time (already has once!) as I am really not sure about letting it go, but I really need the money to fund other things.

Kev Posted October 14, 2013 Author Share Posted October 14, 2013 Not for me, but thank you for the offer I should point out that I probably do have a preference for 4 strings as, to be frank, I just don't use the B (or C). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
