I love the customer service of Roscoe. I asked Gard if I could come up and tour the shop -- not a problem. He answered all my questions, gave me suggestion on wood combos, pretty much anything I needed he helped me with. While I didnt buy a new one, Im pretty sure my next electric bass will be a new Roscoe.

Heres mine:

Sweet Roscoe DMB! Here's a few of my new baby...just delivered 2 weeks ago...









I had the crew at the Roscoe shop sign the back of the bass...even Keith's son Kyle!

Thats awesome. Beautiful top on that one. I love how you had it signed. Is that on top of or under the finish? If I get one built for me, I might have to have Gard, Keith and the crew sign it.

It's actually between some of the top clear coats...so it'll never come off...unless I take a belt sander to it...

The top is Madrone Burl. Very cool stuff!

Imbuia brothers!

I love my Roscoe basses. Punchy strong low B strings, great playability, tonal diversity and aesthetically pleasing. Kudos to Keith, Gard and Jay lewis.

Man! That's some good looking Roscoe's!
Got to get in on this!
If you've been on TB very long then you know I'm a serious Roscoe guy! I've been playing them for just over 10 years and have owned a total of 10 Roscoe's
(3 LG 3005's, 3 SKB 3005's and 4 SKB 3006's). Currently I have a SKB 3005 (Spanish Cedar body, spalted maple top, African tulipwood fingerboard, Demeter pre). It's without a doubt a keeper for life. I'll attach a pic.

I'm also in the market for either a nice SKB 3005 or 3006 (fretted). If you know of any mint used ones, send 'em my way!

What do I like about my Roscoe? Everything! The tone on this bass just kills.

My SKB3006
Spanish Cedar body
Spalt/Quilt Maple top
Birdseye Maple board
Demeter Pre.





Joe, how does the Tulipwood board sound? What would you compare it to?


Everyone keep those pics coming.

Hey Joe,

Man it's nice to see that bass again. Every time I see it, it has something to say. Hope you're doing well.
