Here’s my Black Friday Bass, just picked it up from luthier. Set up, flats, pickups and badass bridge and new pick guard.
I’ve had my eye on this at the local GC for a few weeks pulled the trigger today. I had a BTB years ago that I kept for almost 10 yrs and regretted getting rid of it. BTB 745.
Heck yeah man, congrats! BTB has a lot going for it! I have one of this exact model as well and it’s become one of my favorites. Great bass!
Congrats man. I love 35” scale. it’s just awesome.
I agree. And they go great with his rug!
Oh! That’s fire! literally ![]()
The most important thing is to get your playing position correct. Here’s Scott Owen of The Living End demonstrating the preferred method.
Done many times, by many.
This is but another.
Methinks it wasn’t used in a classical orchestra ![]()
Good luck with getting to know her!
These two Roscoes are going to be my main basses going forward. After a misstep with the first fretted Roscoe I bought, I couldn’t be happier with the Signature series I bought to replace it. I’m over the moon with both of these, thought I’d share a couple of pics.
The fretted bass on the left has a flamed koa top and matching front/back headstock over a swamp ash body. Wenge neck with maple runners. Bird’s eye maple fretboard. Roscoe custom Bartolini quad coils, Bartolini pre-amp, and a Sadowsky VTC. It’s a Signature model and has the carved top.
The fretless bass on the right has a flamed maple top over mahogany body with a maple neck and Diamondwood fingerboard. The inlaid lines are aluminum. It’s a Standard-Plus model, so no carved top. Single-coil Bartolinis in a bridge-biased location.
They both sound and play incredibly and were bought used (at a substantial savings I might add) though they are both flawless. So happy!
Both of these are the Century body.
Congrats! Nice looking Basses for sure.
Play the hell out of ‘em. Congrats!
Those are fantastic!

Absolutely perfect, those are extremely nice. Gonna miss you in the NBD posts though, how long will it be🤷🏼♂️. Seriously congrats, beautiful pair.
Kind of the only way to get away with telling another guy, “beautiful pair.” ![]()
Thanks! Found online lessons. Started last night. So far very very fun!
There’s a woman in town who runs the local coffee shop who plays one and whilst I’m never buying one.
It does look / sound awesome ![]()
