The red does nothing for me, but the green one is just gorgeous.

Very nice looking. That might be the bass that gets Major Metal into Roscoes. :D

Does the fingerboard have a green stain on it? If so, Id love to see a pic showing it better.

That bass was made back when you could get fretless diamondwood 'boards in colors (as opposed to the three options that are offered now: black, birdseye maple, and "rainbow"). You could get a blue 'board to match your blue bass or a green 'board to match your green bass. I'm sure that someone along the line thought that it would be neat to have a green fingerboard with a blue bass, but I have yet to actually see one! :D

Oh sweet, thats awesome!

I bet that would be a sick looking combo.

ja, but realistically it does not show thru much more than you
see it in the pics above. looks a little like a tint, and comes
across a bit irregular. interesting effect though. not sure i
would have ordered one this way, but when you get it used,
you get it the way it comes!

someday i will splurge on a new Roscoe, but the twins will
have to suffice for now. Personally, i would go for a natural
look in quilted or spalted maple.
