| | | This bass is real and looks, sounds fantastic in person. The owner has a jamaican stage persona and will play reggae on occasion hence the Rasta colors. The owner picked it up today and was blown away. He's a great player and happens to be the cousin of a very famous bassist. He came to the shop today at 11am and played it until 6pm. He could not put it down. It was cool except for the fact that I close at 5PM on Saturdays  |

Finally, yes, Joe, as Spidey has shared, it is indeed the "real thing", and it looks even cooler in person than in photos. I'll have some finished pics up on Monday, I didn't have the time to get them edited & posted Friday. It plays and sounds incredible, I actually had to pick my personal bass up to remind myself that I didn't need another fretless! 
Spidey, good to hear that he dug it, I figured he would...I'm guessing we'll have a visitor on Monday!

Now back to your regularly scheduled Roscoe thread...
