Happy to accept a part trade against a Stingray (natural) or a Precision (sunburst, natural or white)...or both![/b][/color] I've just picked up this quality Roscoe LG3005 from bobpalt. It was another one of my failed attempts to convert to a 5'er. It's as new, mint and a beauty, just one string too many. The bass was bought new about a year ago from Bassdirect and cost in excess of £2500 (list price was over 3k). It was a cancelled custom order and has the following features: [u][b]ROSCOE LG 3005 - Five string[/b][/u] •Ash Body •Flamed Maple Top •Maple/Purpleheart/Maple neck •Spalted Purpleheart fingerboard •35" Scale - 24 fret •Bartolini 3-band pre amp •Bartolini/Roscoe Pickups •Black hipshot ultralight hardware •Transluscent black back •Gold pinstripe •High gloss finish •Diamondwood nut •19mm spacing at the bridge •Case and Roscoe paperwork Trade-wise I'm after something with 4 strings, Fender-esque and light (either vintage or a newer boutique clone) Dan [attachment=47011:IMG_2654.JPG] [attachment=47012:IMG_2655.JPG] [attachment=47022:IMG_2663.JPG] [attachment=47010:IMG_2653.JPG] [attachment=47013:IMG_2656.JPG] [attachment=47016:IMG_2658.JPG] [attachment=47015:IMG_2657.JPG] [attachment=47017:IMG_2659.JPG] [attachment=47020:IMG_2660.JPG] [attachment=47021:IMG_2662.JPG] [attachment=47024:IMG_2664.JPG] Edited April 24, 2010 by dangee Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KERMITNT Posted April 14, 2010 Share Posted April 14, 2010 hi mate awsome bass can i ask the weigh and the nut width and the preamp features? cheers the frog Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dangee Posted April 14, 2010 Author Share Posted April 14, 2010 (edited) Hi... The weight is 9lbs, nut width is 1.75 inches. This is the preamp info from Keith: [i]"Bartolini NTMB- The knob closest to the neck is the master volume, back and closest to the pickup is the blend control. Directly down from the blend control is the midrange cut/boost control, which is push/pull allowing access to two different midrange frequencies. The stacked knob to th rear includes the treble cut/boost (top knob) and the bass cut/boost (bottom ring) controls".[/i] Edited April 14, 2010 by dangee Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
