It’s a fantastic bass and ticks all the boxes; light, sounds great, versatile, great action and balance. The only issue for me is that it isn’t a Wal and therefore doesn't sound like one… That’s not the Roscoe’s fault and it needs to go to a home where it can be appreciated.[/size][/size][/font][/color] [color=#282828][font=Helvetica][size=2][size=4]Couple of things to note, there are a couple of dings, nothing major but the bass isn’t pristine, it has been played and secondly, the pots are a little scratchy, again nothing major and I assume easy to rectify. These minor issues are reflected in the price which is the same as I paid for it and is pretty good really all things considered. [/size][/size][/font][/color] [size=4][color=#282828][font=Helvetica]Comes with a rather fetching Grey Roscoe branded [/font][/color][font=Helvetica][color=#282828]gigbag.[/color][/font][/size] [color=#282828][font=Helvetica][size=2][size=4]You are more than welcome to pop round and try the bass, I make an excellent cup of tea and have a well stocked beer fridge if that's more your thing [/size][/size][/font][/color] [color=#282828][font=Helvetica][size=2][size=4]Collection only from Camden NW1[/size][/size][/font][/color] Edited January 21, 2016 by CamdenRob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CamdenRob Posted January 4, 2016 Author Share Posted January 4, 2016 (edited) [quote name='Hellzero' timestamp='1451862613' post='2944206'] Could you please give me the weight of this bass ? [/quote] According to my bathroom scales it weighs 9lb 12oz... although they were pretty shaky... When I locate my luggage scales I will give a more accurate measurement. It's pretty light for a sixer anyway Edited January 6, 2016 by CamdenRob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CamdenRob Posted January 8, 2016 Author Share Posted January 8, 2016 (edited) Bump! Open to trades with anything interesting, try me although the exchange would have to happen somewhere I can get to on public transport[b].

Please note that I am not looking to ship the bass at this time. Edited January 8, 2016 by CamdenRob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ambient Posted January 8, 2016 Share Posted January 8, 2016 I played this bass a few weeks ago. It's beautiful, it plays amazing and sounds fantastic. I was so close to buying it, the only reason that I didn't was because I've never played a fretless 6 on a reading gig, which all of my gigs are. This is a bargain too.

ras52 Posted January 8, 2016 Share Posted January 8, 2016 [quote name='ambient' timestamp='1452279369' post='2948523'] This is a bargain too. [/quote] I'll say! I have the 4-string version of this, love it to bits. Shame it's got one too many string for me. GLWTS... not that I expect you'll need it.

CamdenRob Posted January 11, 2016 Author Share Posted January 11, 2016 (edited) Thanks for all the trade offers chaps. Still available. Looking for four string, fretted basses primarily, but cash is still king ... well unless you have an original Pro2 or Pro2e in which case that is King... better than King in fact... Emperor maybe Edited January 11, 2016 by CamdenRob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
