i posted in the wanted section, but figured I would check here as well.
Im looking for a used SKB-3005. The one I was going to buy may not be available anymore, im still waiting to hear, but I got cash ready to go and am really jonesing to get back into the Roscoe family.

I saw the one currently on ebay, but that top just isn't doing it for me.

So anyone selling?

hmm... interested in a 6? If so, send a PM and we can talk. This one was going to be a keeper, but I'd let it go if it meant I could put the deposit down on a custom SKB I've been wanting to order.

Bryan,

Have you checked www.atlantabassgallery.com? they have 2 very nice SKB3005's that you might like.

I've played both of those SKB's. Both played very nice and were absolutely mint. IMO the aqua quilt bass was beautiful in person (and I'm not really into aqua tints). I don't think the aqua bass had even been played.

Also, for what it's worth, I strongly suspect that the SKB 3005 on E-Bay looks MUCH better in person. The boxelder burl and maple burls top don't always photograph very well.

It looks killer to me!:)
