Back in the day, if you wanted an expertly made bass with an outlandish white snow leopard paint finish and a monkey grip, there was only one guy to call: Keith Roscoe. These days, Keith and his crew in their Greensboro, NC shop are firmly planted on the leading edge of the boutique electric bass scene. They have 4 basic models, the LG, SKB, Century Signature and Century Standard. The former 2 have been staples of the Roscoe line for quite some time, and have a devout following among professional players and bass enthusiasts. The two Century models are Roscoe's newest additions, the signature being the most extravagant (and expensive) of the entire line. In addition to several top shelf aesthetic upgrades, its longer upper horn and slightly larger body mass offers a subtle ergonomic alternative to the previous designs.

Century Standard Roscoe 5 String Bass
|
|
|
The standard comes with a one piece ash body that features an enhanced grain, black satin finish. The satin felt great to the touch and contributed nicely to the overall excellent fit and finish. The three piece maple neck is securely bolted to the body, the neck itself a departure from the familiar multi-laminated neck found on their SKB/LG offerings. Impressively, it contains the same graphite reinforcement and truss rod assembly as its big brothers. Fingerboard options include maple or rosewood and the uncapped, unpainted headstock look simple and clean. Bartolini is the chosen electronics package for this bass, with its passive style "CB" pickups and Roscoe spec. NTMB 3 band preamp. The hardware package is rounded out by top of the line Hipshot ultralight tuners and their Roscoe spec'd A style bridge, the same hardware as is found on their upper end models.
