see pic below..... http://www.talkbass.com/forum/attach...9&d=1158646405 | I remember that Roscoe - when it was purchased new - can't remember the guy's name that bought it though. It wasn't you, was it Fire Starter?
Lovely lovely fingerboard.
Well dude, God gives us 24 hours in each day. Maybe you can do a side job or freelance work to raise some $. That is literally how I could afford my first Roscoe. I did some freelance work and set up a separate account for it.
Go for it!

|  | Reads well and plays nice with others... | | Join Date: Apr 2004 Location: Southwestern Pennsylvania | | | Freelance - what a novel idea!!
I have my full-time gig, teach 2 classes at a local college, play whenever I can (fill-in), manage 5 Web sites, do voice-over, on-hold telephone productions and ad copy writing, and have been asked to do consulting for school marketing and enrollment enhancement with materials I created - which would pay for one....there's just no time to do it (and would create a conflict of interest with the full-time gig!)
No time, no dime....
The thing about freelancing is that everyone wants what you offer - for FREE! I'm thinking about calling it "paylancing" from now on.

|  | Registered User | | Join Date: Aug 2002 Location: MINNESOTA | | | hmmm What I find interesting about Roscoe Basses....
1: His basses are solid, even though some don't have as many wood combo's (5 in some cases) as other basses.
2: They have this deep CLEAR bottom, hard to explain unless you have owned one, and the mids are clear as well.
3: Tightest B string I have ever had or played, PERIOD! even when the strings get old. Go figure. People argue over B strings all the time, but I have never heard of a legit complaint about a Roscoe B string being weak. Roscoe basses should put all the arguments about bolt on vs neck through as to which contributes to the best B strings. I think he could get the same results on a broom stick!
4: GREAT CUSTOMER SERVICE.
What else is there?
