This Artist Signature Series bass was designed with Beck, a venerable journeyman bassist who has played\/recorded with artists including Robben Ford and Leonard Cohen. Produced from 1995-2007, this 5-string “Swiss Army knife of bass tone” was designed for maximum versatility, expanding on the Jazz Bass platform with a bevy of unique features including a pair of splittable Special Design Side by Side dual-coil Jazz Bass pickups, Hipshot Ultralite tuners, convertible bridge (string through\/top loader), a special design Modern-Vintage select alder body, maple neck with an asymmetrical oval shape and slab pau ferro fretboard, and a gloss Teal Green Metallic finish with matching headstock.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAs one would expect, there is a huge range of available tonalities on tap via the Special Design Side by Side dual-coil Jazz Bass pickups: in full dual-coil mode, these pickups are big and bold, with tons of low end heft and dense, focused midrange thump. Splitting the pickups via the mini-toggles yields Jazz Bass burp and grind, with smooth treble cut, and the side-by-side pickups can also be toggled to configure the coils in series or parallel via the same toggles. The Tone knob has a push\/pull Mid Shaping control that reduces the neck pickup presence in the middle position for a sound that is very full while increasing overall punchiness. This Roscoe Beck V weighs 9lbs 13oz, professionally setup here at Mike \u0026amp; Mike’s Guitar Bar with 45-130 roundwound strings, comfortable action, and accurate intonation.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNeck Specs:\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e-Wood: Maple, Posiflex graphite support rods\u003cbr\u003e-Shape: “Asymmetrical oval,” substantial U with shoulder slightly favoring the bass side, measuring .860” 1st fret, 1.020” 12th fret\u003cbr\u003e-Fretboard: Pau ferro slab, 9 1\/2“ radius, 22-fret\u003cbr\u003e-Frets: Medium jumbo, moderate wear on frets 1-12 (progressively lighter wear towards octave)\u003cbr\u003e-Scale Length: 34”\u003cbr\u003e-Nut: 1.875”, bone\u003cbr\u003e-Headstock: Teal Green-finished, Roscoe Beck signature\u003cbr\u003e-Tuners: Hipshot Ultralite\u003cbr\u003e-Serialization: SN8-prefix\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBody Specs:\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e-Wood: Select alder, Modern-Vintage design with improved upper-fret access\u003cbr\u003e-Pickups: Special Design Side by Side dual-coil Jazz Bass x2\u003cbr\u003e-Controls: Volume, Tone, Three-way pickup selector, Three-way (series\/split\/parallel) coil selector switches, push\/pull Mid Shaping control (Tone knob)\u003cbr\u003e-Hardware: Convertible top loader\/string through bridge\u003cbr\u003e-Plastics: F-cap knobs, three-ply pickguard\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe custom color Teal Green Metallic finish exhibits only light buckle wear on the back and a few minor marks and finish scratches on the body as a whole, largely relegated to the back and lower bout perimeter.
