Smoking hot.

How does that neck feel, with the finish on it?

Crap!

That is a SWEET bass. As I said before, I really liked that "Lakland" pickup setup of "J" neck and "MM" bridge.

I thought my previous Roscoes were nice but this is amazing.

So how's the pricing on this? It's more than a Standard but not quite a Custom...

Who gets to sell it?

Jon, the neck has the same final finish that all our necks do, so it feels like a "Roscoe neck".



Steve, it is a bit more pricey than a "standard" Standard, but not by much, because of the JM pickup option ($200), it's selling for $2399 (this is a one-time, never-again deal, by the way, there WILL NOT be another like it! The matching headstock, carved top, and finish on the neck will NOT be available again on a Standard. Period.). So far, no dealer has claimed it, so if you (or anyone else - JOEL, GET MOVING! ) is interested in it, get with your favorite dealer NOW!

I wish I would have played Ryan's more this summer...of course every Bass I played felt and sounded amazing regardless of wood, electronics or body style!

Don't buy it Steve. You'll just end up selling it two months from now.

Sadly, both of you are probably right.

Cat's out of the bag now I guess. I've been on top of a mountain for the past few days so, cell service has been spotty at best. I got a message from Jim at the Atlanta Bass Gallery asking if I still wanted it. I ended up having to drive down Mt. Cheaha to find enough service to call him back in order to snag the bass before another dealer got a hold of it.

This bass is going to be an interesting one for me. Chances are that it will not remain tuned B through G. It probably will get a new set of tenor or even piccolo strings. I figured the JM configuration would fatten up the tone. My current piccolo has Bartolini J's and it sounds a little thin.

Now, I still have two basses in the sales forums. I need to get those sold to get my cash flow moving in a positive direction.
