All,

Here's a brag message on my first new bass in 18 years, first 5-string, and first Roscoe.

.. first (erch - too many firsts) the specs

Century Standard 5 JM Serial #F004
Spalted Quilt Maple top
Swamp Ash body
Natural Oil finish
Bartolini J + MM pickups & 3-band preamp w/series-parallel-single coil switching
3-piece Maple neck
Pau Ferro fingerboard
Graphite nut, Black hardware

.. it'll be plugged into a GB streamliner / greenboy fearless F112 (under construction).

Photos will follow (here's one I received today from Greg@Rocket)

I have also have a JM with an ash body. It's going to sound killer!

HYPNOTOAD!!!!

:eek:

Awesome!

I would be lying if I said I wasn't totally thrilled.

Jeff Moote 03-13-2013 08:21 PM
As should be expected around here, this thread delivers.

That top is amazing! Wouldn't it be cool if you could get them to fade from deep red up top to amber at the bottom kind of following the grain?

Ditto.

Mr. Bump forwarded a few shots Gard kindly took that I thought I would share. I'd say less hypno-bass, more waves-washing-against-shore-bass.

.. Shall I pop on some black beauties on this?

That turned out great - like there was any doubt, right?

Enjoy. It won't be your only or last Roscoe...

RocketMusic 03-28-2013 08:07 AM
Man, that turned out nice! Gard should be showing up here in Blacksburg with the bass in a couple hours. I can't wait to see it!

VAMike 03-28-2013 12:01 PM
Well ..... Whaddaya think Greg?

JOME77 03-28-2013 02:39 PM
Beautiful Mike! That's some crazy nice quilt on the upper 1/2 of that body!

I've yet to hear that P/U configuration on a Roscoe. I bet that it kills! :bassist:

Woodchuck 03-28-2013 02:45 PM
Whoa! She's purty! Congrats.

It's pretty killer! Goregous looks, rockin' tone, plays great. What more could you want?

It's on a brown truck now, headed your way! I've taken pics, and I'll try to get them up on my site before I give up for the day later tonight...

Ryan L. 03-28-2013 06:22 PM
Damn! That is NICE!

Wait'll you see the fretless (F007) that was also delivered today for another customer. Wow to both of these!

VAMike 03-28-2013 07:01 PM
It'll be here tomorrow. Awesome! I'll get the nice camera out, and take a shot with her new adoptive siblings.
