Great....holy.....oh my.....what the......just wow.

That is an absolute stunner. Scratch that - I say that about almost all Roscoes - this one is insane by absolute stunning standards. What a beautiful instrument. And that neck & fingerboard...oh man. I'd really love to hear some impressions on the sound of this instrument. I've got to think it's a sonic monster!

I just made myself sad. Here I am looking at a gorgeous bass from my favorite builder, and I find myself looking more at the bike in the background. Dammet, I need to buy that Harley! Anyone want to give me about $20k so I can get the bike and the Roscoe?

Adron, I hate to burst your bubble, but that isn't a Harley, it's a Honda.



I think Jason got that one for about $600, and it's so clean you can eat off it.

Yeah, I could tell that one's a Honda. I've been eyeing a Harley Softail Cross Bones for a few weeks now, though. For the first time in about 13 years of playing, I've found something that's curtailed my music-related GAS.

Thanks, Clint! Yeah, I'm really excited. Roscoe must have some killer wood sources, because Gard seems to have an endless supply of gorgeous tops. Must... stop... ordering... basses...

Sadly, that one is just a memory at this point. It moved on a few weeks ago. It had a pretty amazing low end on it, though. Tight & well defined, but still BIG.

I do need to get setup to record clips here... it would be nice to have an archive... sorry I don't have a clip in this instance...
