AND
Two, The new J/MM configuration. When Will we see it?  
God Bless, Ray

God Bless, Ray | Dammit! 
Need to correct that, stat! Sorry, the "A" on Standard-Standard Plus is not the correct info, new stuff upcoming! 
There will be an "M" soon...

Either way the good news for everyone is that base prices haven't changed and new options are available. I can't wait to see what you guys crank out this year  |

In actuality what I'd bet you're seeing in a price difference is Roscoe in the beginning buying only a few sets of JJ pickups at a higher per unit rate to "test" the viability of the JJ option. Now that the option has indeed become a success they were able to buy multiple sets at a lower per unit rate. The GOOD news is they're passing those savings to us, their customer base.  Quote:

As with anything, most of the cost is in the labour. We all know that a Roscoe is not made of thousands of dollars of wood and electronics, but we happily pay that for the fantastic work that goes into turning those materials into basses. |

Attention to detail and excellence is worth paying for.

I'll still probably only be able to order one this year... but who knows. Either way I'm sure the folks at Roscoe will be happy to make as many basses as I like  |

| | | | I'm almost glad you said that. I must say, the fact that you have not raised the prices of the various models in years is commendable! It shows you are conscious of the needs of your clients. |

| | Registered User | | Join Date: Oct 2001 Location: Niagara Falls, ON, Canada | | | Question for Gard: is the only way to get a gloss finish bass to order a Custom/Signature model? Is gloss on a Standard model like black hardware, a complete non-option or can it be done at a cost? Same on a Standard Plus? |

That defeats the idea of keeping it as simple and straightforward as possible, and would totally skew the pricing to the point that you'd be paying as much for a Standard/Standard Plus as you would a "basic" Custom....

It's all good. It just means it will have to be a Custom model |
