How well do you know my taste in Roscoe's...
I've settled on the Roscoe 3006 that will replace my recently sold Roscoe 3005 fretless.
I'm kind of curious on how well you fellow Roscoeheads know my likes/dislikes of Roscoe's.
I'm purchasing a 3006 from Greg AKA "Rocketman" and it's one of the ones in the following thread: Roscoe 6-String Shootout
See if your can guess which one that it is!

|  | Well, Ahoy Paloi | | Join Date: Sep 2009 Location: Cape Cod, MA | | | I don't you Joe as well as many others but I picked the Myrtle Prism Century, who knows; they are all great.
The "Yellow" SKB is identical (except for the 12 fret inlay) to mine.
Have fun! |

Dude, you are full of surprises!
I'll play this game! For one thing, we can rule out any 6-stringer with a maple board. We can also rule out any Aguilar or Audere preamp equipped 6er. So, I THINK it's going to be:
Myrtle Prism Century-3006
Body: Ash Back, Myrtle Top, Wenge Shim
Neck: Wenge Center w/ Wenge Fretboard
Electronics: Bart CB, Bart 3-Way/18V
OR
Vroom-Vroom Orange SKB-3006
Body: Ash Back, Figured Malpe Top
Neck: Wenge Wedge w/ Wenge Fretboard
Electronics: Roscoe Barts, Bart 3-Way/18V
How well do I know you Joe??

So, I went for Vroom Vroom Orange.
I'm gonna hazard again't the Prisim one, because I believe that's in Canada now?

"if you don't really know someone, assume his favourite colour is yellow."
So I voted yellow SKB. |

You could never pull this off  There's two at Greg's shop you'd get and everybody knows 'em.
Oh and the Cobalt Blue SKB 6 is the one I'd choose for me. Ever since Greg sent me to his site, I've dug that one.
Surprised it's still there 
God Bless, Ray

The top wood is dense which means heavy. My back can't take more then a 9.5 lb instrument anymore. Poor 6004 (Blue) isn't getting any love. I should buy that orphan.

But, then again, the Ziracote is also an SKB, plus it has a cedar body, and we know how Joe feels about that. So, Joe, how long are you going to keep us in suspense? Not that this little game isn't fun, but...
The prism did get dragged out of the U.S.A. I'm sorry but I couldn't resist. A big thanks again to Gard, Rocket Music and Club Bass for making it possible. Someday, I'll get around to taking some pictures and I'll post a little blurb.
So for now, congrats Joe, can't wait to see which one you adopted.
Andre
