Hi. Just bought a Rogue 5 string, serial number 98Q11625 to go with my 93 Epic. Love the Epic, but I wanted to try a neck-thru. Hope you can provide some information on my Rogue when you have a minute, such as birth date, woods used, etc. I'm wondering about the scale length. The guy I bought it from said it was 35", but it's unclear to me if that is measured to the front or the back of the bridge. Thanks! |

Welcome Mike, congrats...the scale length is measured by doubling the distance from the nut to the 12th fret. Kris |

Mike: I did the same thing;first Epic then Rogue. You'll love the Filter/"Q" switch.cw |

Well, I've played a few shows since my original post and I've gotta say this Rogue is the finest bass I've ever owned. Incredible player. Thanks for the info, Elwood (I did a gig dressed as you this past Halloween!). Looks to be a 34". And Terrace, you are absolutely correct. That switch is magic. |
