Lol, I could see Keith with his hair all teased out and running around in Pink and Black Spandex.

If you look closely at the ads in the Roscoe forum you will see a younger Keith Roscoe sporting the Rick Springfield look and a Members Only jacket.

Ahhh.. The Lunacy of Youth. At the time I'm sure everyone thought it was cool.

Thumbs up

That bass just screams "I'm your boggie man, I'm your boggie man, TURN ME ON!"

So cool!

..uh...



"bog-gy man"???






...Joe, I do believe you were looking for "boogie man", right?



(Oh, and for the record, the first thing I played on that one was "Rock Of Ages"! The bass seems more 80's than 70's!)

Light that bass on fire, Do not pass go. Do not collect $200.

Could possibly be the ugliest bass I have ever seen. There is nothing aesthetically pleasing about it.

No offense.

I did like the built in handle so you could swing it as a weapon when people tried to beat you up for playing a pink bass.

How do you really play something like that? I'd be afraid to pick it up with anything but a flat shovel! LOL!!

None taken, but if that were a 35" 5 string, I'd rock out on that puppy on a good 80's rock gig!

That's it! Find a local foundation for the visually impaired and see if they are having an '80's shindig and there you go!
