I think a wenge board would look really cool, maybe even sound good?

...huh...uh...whaa....



...oh...uh...yeah...um...

...right.

It's not going to be oil finished, we changed our minds, and are going to do the gloss finish instead.

Of course, if you wanna order it for your shop, it's not too late to stick with oil finish yet...

Ooooh, you know what? That second Sapele/Bosse top that I have on hold is a lovely candidate for my next oil finished Roscoe... I better make that a fretless 5 like I would like... just in case.

...wise course of action...but I doubt necessary, I'm sure that will be one very classy looking bass...

Oh, man, I've got it bad. Every Roscoe I order at this point I think of in terms of what I'd have to sell to own it... not good!

Yeah, I'd say that Rocket is suffering from a strain of Roscoeitous which is bassically incurable!

Rumor has it that Gard plays every Roscoe bass before it's shipped! Now that's a cool job!

......but that too leads to an incurable sickness!
