I love that front view of the headstock. Very sweet the the neckwood is visible at the top. |

...matter of fact, around here, the "clear" stuff, all perfect, well...we find it boring!

So, basically I just agree with bgartist. I've not seen any other instrument maker match all of the qualities - wood selection, grain, color, finish choice, etc. - as creatively or effectively as Roscoe. This is an instrument that looks great at first glance, and just gets better each time you stare at it. |

I love it, man I'm a sucker for blue basses.....
I'm normally a fan of plain maple boards, but the mineral streak(I think) in this one is just perfect!

But I've spotted a flaw in it: It's missing a string.
Seriously, I don't know how the heck these things slip past QC..
