❌SOLD❌ Roscoe Century Standard 5 String Fretless Bass Natural, 2014

On March 17, 2022 /

This Roscoe Century Standard 5 String Fretless Bass is in natural finish, and built during 2014 in Greensboro, North Carolina. This is a somewhat long scale bass at 35 inches, with the longer scale used to improve definition on the lower notes of the 5th string. In terms of construction, the Roscoe Century Standard 5 is a bolt-on design with a Swamp Ash body and a 3-piece quartersawn Maple neck with Graphite inserts and an Ebony fingerboard, with metal-filled fret slots for accuracy.

❌SOLD❌ G&L L-1000 Bass Translucent Teal, 1981

On February 22, 2022 /

Here we have a G&L L-1000 Bass in Translucent Teal finish, built during the mid to late part of 1981 in Fullerton, California. The G&L L-1000 is a fully passive bass that can be regarded as a successor to the ground-breaking mid-1957 Precision Bass, which replaced the original single coil pickup with a new, dual-coil, hum cancelling model.

On January 11, 2022 /

This blonde Fender CS Stratocaster from 2005 has an American Standard Neck from 2013 and is from the Fender Custom Shop in Corona, California. One of the obvious benefits of a bolt-on neck design is that either the neck or body can be changed if damage occurred.

Fender Stratocaster Sunburst, 1958 (No Longer Available)

On October 5, 2021 /

Here we’re looking at a 1958 Fender Stratocaster in the then-new three-tone Sunburst finish, with neck and body dates of 12/58, indicating construction in December of 1958 or the beginning of 1959. In addition to the ‘new’ sunburst with the red band, the Maple neck became thinner with much less of a ‘V’ profile. From mid 1956, Fender started using Alder on sunburst-finished Stratocasters, rather than Ash. The neck remained the same, built of a single piece of Maple with a Walnut ‘Skunk Stripe’ covering the rear-mounted truss rod channel.

Fender 59 Reissue Stratocaster Sunburst, 2013 (No Longer Available)

On September 15, 2021 /

This Fender 59 Reissue Stratocaster sports the 3-tone sunburst Fender introduced in 1958, and the ‘Slab’ Rosewood fingerboard used when Fender first offered alternatives to one-piece Maple necks. The body is Alder, which follows the model history. Fender initially used Ash or Swamp Ash, but by 1958 started to use Alder. With that change, a new finishing process was also used where the body wood was directly stained with yellow rather than adding yellow tint to clear lacquer (as is done with the red and black bands for the rest of the sunburst).
