Wow..that is a killer Roscoe! 34" scale with 19mm spacing, just the way I like it.
I'm sure glad it is fretless, otherwise I would have to have it.

Agreed - thus my bump of the Peter Parker thread ("My two new Roscoes").

For those really paying close attention, that's not me selling the bass (even though that's my name)

Yeah, there are two John Bowens out there, both Roscoeheads, really confused me a couple times as well!

Good he hear, I thought maybe you had a split personality and the second personality was trying to take on the first personality. Knowing this, I just knew your first pesonality wouldn't let your second personality sell a Roscoe so it couldn't have been either personality since it was a totally different pesonality all together.

Congratulations!!

I adore my Roscoe (an SKB3005), I don't think Keith ever made a bad 'un. You're going to love it. And what a stunning looking thing, too.

Cheers,
Dave

Fretless Roscoe -

Tone monster + mwha - I don't think you're going to want to put it down.

(if it was a sixer I would have had to at least bid on it).

If it's like my Roscoe fretless, you will LOVE it!

....even though us Bowens can be pretty shady to deal with.
