NBD Roscoe 3005

[E sharp]

I picked this up 3 weeks ago locally to me, on the way to a ska gig (used my regular bass), then used the Roscoe the next night at a function band gig- thought it’d be more fitting.

It came with black sticky strings, so put on some others and gave it a decent clean up.

There’s no doubt that it’s an absolutely superb bass, but still unsure if it’s for me or not. The 35” scale on it is unnoticeable really, but the 18mm spacing, weirdly is (I’m so used to 19mm).
So the jury’s still out on it for me.

My memory of these is they pack a huge punch

It looks incredible. I've noodled on a few in between Bass Direct and BassBros and think they're incredible. The unfortunate thing (for me at least) is I don't get on with Bart pickups. I know what you mean about the string spacing. My Fender Player Plus Jazz V has 19mm spacing and when I tried its newer replacement I could feel it even though we're talking a fraction of a millimetre.

Nice one. Learn to love it. It’ll pay you back in spades.

Very nice E Sharp, [or should we call you Mr.F..?) It's amazing how we all notice that missing 1mm in the string spacing, isn't it?
