5397 is MINE!!!!

Thanks to all the fine luthiers at Kieth Roscoe for creating such a quality instrument and to the staff at The Perfect Bass for helping me pick out a bass to compliment my style of playing. I have been so busy the past week I have not had as much time as I would like to play- but that will change soon enough. Below are the specs.

SKB-3005
Burled Myrtle Top,
Mahogany Body
Natural Finish
Bartolini PUPS & Preamp
Wedge Neck (maple-paduk-purpleheart)
Macassar Ebony Fingerboard
Graphite Nut

Thumbs up

Man!

Beautiful bass! That top is just perfect looking!

I've really been craving a traditional sounding Roscoe (Bart/Bart) lately. Classic sound.


Congratulations!

Agreed, that one is a very nice one!

Joe, we can help you out with that craving...

...I know the feeling, I've already made the decision that #3 will be a Bart/Bart in the electronics department. The rest is decided as well, but I'm not tellin' anyone what it is!

I am guessing pink with a Mary Kay inlay on the 12th fret.

I know that you can! I just married off my youngest yesterday so while it'll take a few months to recover ($$$), I'll be able to add back to the bass collection soon!

You'll be hearing from me soon!
