1998 Roscoe Beck V is an extremely customizable 5-string that delivers all sorts of Fender Jazz Bass tones. Featuring a pair of Sibe By Side Fender pickups, this signature model delivers both single-coil and humbucker bass tones through a variety of switching options. All of these tonal options are accomplished without an onboard preamp making it extremely usable with any bass rig. There is a fair amount of hardware corrosion throughout, but everything still works and functions great. There are some finish scratches and digs here and there, most notably some buckle rash on the back. The wear and dings are minor and are exaggerated by the photographs. The Bass is currently strung with 45-130s (EXL165SL) which is Super Long Scale to accommodate the string-through bridge. Can also be strung with Standard 34" Scale-length strings for top load. Includes the original hardshell case.
