Great Pics Tommy!

Congrats on your exhibit! Beautiful basses out there. If I'm not mistaken you are missing the latest Century Std VI with slanted PUs you received recently right?

All the best,

Diego

Diego -

You're right, that one isn't in there...that was a pretty neat bass.

Speaking of neat basses, you'll be getting one fairly soon now yourself....

WOW!

They should've flown Keith in for a cameo appearance. He could have parachuted in...with a marching band and pigeons.

Thanks Joe!!! The t-shirt is my self desing and only was available to a little amount of my customers in South America... I´m thinking in work newly with this desing but I need time to work with materials and sizes that fit well the North American people...Gard has one of theses, he gives this to his wife...

Blessings

My brother,

Very thanks for your post...yes I missing some nice basses for this exhibition...You now that here driving a Sprint with 10 Roscoe basses is a little "Complicado" and more if 7 of theses are from your customers!!! The Century STD VI with slanted PUs is a very rare model that now is discontinued... I have one of theses rares projects in 5 strings to be completed in September like the last of all Century STD with slanted PUs, redwood top,mahogany body and maple freatboard... I think that this will be a valuable piece of collection to any Roscoe fan!!!

Nice news with your new Century Signature VI!!!

Hugs

Nah, Keith is on restriction until he puts together some material for the Roscoe History page for the Website.

Tommy my brother,

I am glad you are doing so well in South America with the Roscoe dealership!, you are really putting up together some fantastic instruments for your customers. I am also very happy to be one of your customers (that means my bass is going to turn out really nice). Talk to you soon my friend!

Diego

I was down at the shop yesterday, we still need more owners to send their picture of them playing their Roscoe and a small Testomonial.

Gard added some of the color option pictures yesterday. I talked to Keith about putting the history together in segments over like a 4 month period so hopefully he will start working on it.
