That is sweet!!!

I would love to see a Roscoe in Rick Fireglo, but with a brighter cherry like this bass has and have the cherry fade into kind of a peach color in the middle instead of the yellow.

Actually, I just love to see any Roscoe regardless of color. Hey, I don't discriminate.

That bass is beautiful! Love the sunburst! Question though... why not black hardware? Is the chrome a custom order or was a decision made at the shop that chrome would look better with that color scheme.

Rocket, what's the story?
Why are you amassing all these beautiful Roscoes?
Is it some sort of world domination plot? You certainly have the Evil Leader laugh down.

Seriously, your inventory is stunning, you do good work!

Actually, I chose the chrome hardware myself, somewhat over Gard's objections. I say variety is the spice of life, no? I'd be happy to do a hardware swap to black hardware at no charge, if that's the only deal breaker on someone ordering the bass.

I like to go big in whatever brands I support. I was the #1 indy Warwick dealer in the US last year, I'm the #1 or #2 Suhr dealer in the world, and I'm up there for Joe Barden pickups, too. Roscoe has earned my respect, so I'm showing them the love with a bunch of orders. These basses will start rolling out of my store eventually, and that will be a great thing for my store (as well as for Roscoe and my customers).

So who wants one?

Well Greg, it wouldn't bother me if you became Roscoe's #1 dealer this year even if you are a Hokie.

Eh, we Hokies are no threat to you guys in NC... we didn't even make the tourney. Football's our thing

Man, it's been fun watching UNC - that guard with the toe injury is one tough little SOB.

Not worth getting fired up about until I can point to a Tech victory over LSU... it's put up or shut up, and I choose to shut up

I am going to guess I am the only one here with love for the Big 12.




....please, please, please, let Nebraska regain the past glory.

It will happen....

(...however, they'll still be chasing the SEC... )
