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)

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?

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