Found a cool second hand Rogue!


Can I have some infos on it?


Thanks!

It may take sometime to Mica be free enough to gather those infos...

In the meantime, if you post some good photos including some close ups, the group can typically discern both the wood and electronics involved in the build.

Hello guys!

The bass appeared in a well-know shop in Rome (Italy).

Well, the serial shows it was finished in 1997, and looks pretty stock for a Rogue, you can check their bassic characteristics here:

What is different are the oval inlays and the specific top wood of this bass (I dare bet is Bubinga or maybe Walnut, but not sure and I'm not wood savy at all). Oh, and the backplates are brass instead the lighter plastic cover used today.

Mine also has the Mother of Pearl inlays, matching headstock front and back, and Brass coverplates. I believe it was the way they did them at the time and not a costume special order.

Wall, yesterday I tried the bass and felt in love with it!

I put an offer (the bass was on sale for a customer) and I'm waiting for a reply.

For helping Mica or who can track the records for that, the exact model displayed on the included sale sheet is QLSB4FL.W

Pretty looking bass, nice that you were able to try it before making an offer. Based on the color and grain the top looks like Walnut to me, if so the bass will be capable of a nice punchy tone. Hope your offer is accepted!

Yes, it's really nice.


Meanwhile, is on Reverb too:
