I think Vroom2 would approve of the spider's guitar height for proper
fretting & balance. Actually a bass player with 8 "arms" either would kick ass or be a total wanker.

Now, we just need to send him to Hoochie Coochie Land w/ Sparky & his blotter acid.

Ray, I've heard you - You Kick Ass.

If I ever find the time to figure out the Boss DR 600 Greg sold me, perhaps I would submit something personally, without being a lurker . Or, my guitarist (aka- guy who can "play" bass also) may want to record the band and actually capture a decent bass tone during one of the many gigs we have this summer .

BTW Bill, Well Done! If I ever do make it to County Cork I will buy the 1st round! That spider looks like he could give Victor Wooten a run fo' his benjamins.

Hey, Four Eyes...



..you're badass.

Just me, or does Spider Boy above have a little bit of Rob Trujillo mojo happening?



Of course, to REALLY make things happen, Rob needs to be rockin' the appropriate bass:



(Yes, I suck at Photoshop.)

Hey Bill,

If you had the chance to design and take home another Roscoe what would ya do this time?

I'm still enamored with this one



But as much as you'se guys talk about Roscoe's fretless sound, it intrigues me now

So whatcha got????



God Bless, Ray

I utterly love that bass, I can see whay you love it.

If I were to buy one new, and spec it out completly, it would be one of these two.

With a solid maple body, wenge center neck, and an aguliar preamp, or


This, why mess with success.


So, what would you do?

Man! Both of those are frickin awesome

I'd probably put something together fretless even though I've played one all of half an hour in my life. You guys all say that Roscoes Fretless are the best,. I can't play one for beans but Hey if Gard can play one anybody can right????



God Bless, Ray
