General Manager, Roscoe Guitars | | Join Date: Mar 2000 Location: Greensboro, NC, USA | | | The combination of the tobacco sunburst finish on the body and headstock and maple (of any kind) fingerboard is one of my favorite. It is just so classic, and so classy.
My two favorite Century Standard combos are TSB/Maple and Natural/Rosewood.
I just love contrast between the body and fingerboard...

|  | Registered User | | Join Date: Sep 2006 Location: Encinitas California | | | I love the look of the Tobacco Sunburst finish on that bass. My SKB 3006 fretted is very similar with the exception of the fretboard. It's like Gard says, It's classic and very, very classy. |

I never took much interest in 6's until I grabbed this one. It's amazing. The Audere preamp (although it normally wouldn't have been my first choice) gives you a ridiculously massive range of usable (and great) tones to work with. It definitely brings a different character to the Roscoe sound. I woulda bought it on the spot if I had the dough
