I'm gased over my new Roscoe. Actually I have one more payment to make and then pick it up for my birthday in a few weeks. I love a bass with a warm lush tone and this one surely fills the bill. Mahogany body- Burled Myrtle Top, Macassar Ebony Fingerboard. All Bartolin PUPS. I found through the fine folks at TPB. Its an SKB 3005. Anything you can tell me about this instrument Gard- particularly the construction of the wegde neck? I'll post some pics as soon as I figure how.

Hey Cactusman- I enjoyed reading your story about your miracle bass. Very inspiring. I also play in a praise/worship band. I'd like to see a pic of your instrument. God bless you. BR

Hello BR,

I'm glad my testimony was a blessing to you as well and thank you for the comment. I posted it for the sole purpose of glorifying the living God.

I don't have any pics of that bass as of yet, however you can see my SKB 3005 under the thread "5850". As you will read, I'm very fond of that bass's voice yet I love my other Roscoes as well.

Maybe I can borrow a camera and do a post.

Lord bless you,

Doug
