Well we had a mini Georgia TB fun day today and it turned into a gathering of Roscoe's! Of course since Sha975 showed up and brought all 4 of his Roscoe's I guess that would be understandable! 
Sha975 and Leurastus played basses while I set up basses. Of course I eventually got to play them too! 
Sha975 sure has some nice Roscoe's (one was particuarly hard for me to pick up and play..... 
but I enjoyed playing them all! 
Leurastus brought the outliner (Sadowsky) but hopefully Sha and I have convinced him to come over from the dark side to the light! 
........Leurastus.......Keith is your father!  
It was really neat to be able to A/B all of the Roscoes with different wood, p/u and electronics combinations. We played 'em all through either an Eden 1205 & Eden 410 cab or an Eden 550 & Epi UL-112. Sweet tones! 
Fun, fun, fun!!!!
P.S. I wonder how many days it'll be before Sha975 opens up all of his gig bags and realizes that he's missing a couple Roscoes?

I to really enjoy getting together with Jome77 and leurastus. You guys showed me a bunch of new chops also so likewise thanks!
Joe,
you almost scared me there but after verifying that all 4 was there I could breath again  Besides that, my wife stood at the door with a check list until I brought every last piece of equipment back in the house
On a serious note, Joe is good guy who made me feel like I was right at home...(well not exactly right at home since Joe stays in a mini manson). Joe treated us all to great food and I got (4) free setups on all my axes Hey Joe my offer still stands my 4 Roscoes for your crib  Since I clearly know the answer to that all already I'll give you my real feelings...sure would be nice to add your 6 to my collection...they sure look nice together! See ya next time around bro!

Let me look for a pic of my Roscoe and I can share it with you.

It was a blast but I think that I am going to have to call my foundation guy back becuse it appears that my house vibrated a couple of inches off the blocks!
Dog gone that killer Roscoe "B"!!! Quote: |

Yeah, there was definitely a small fortune in basses and amps at the house that day!
I guess that you're still digging your ash Roscoe with the Demeter pre. The ebony 3006 in the picture had the Demeter/Bart combo and really rocked.
Still a real sweet combo. |

Leurastus I knew you'd come around especially after learning how true triplets are played on a "real bass!"
just joking, just joking..nothing against Sadowskys..I guess they would do...that is if there were no Keith, Gard or Roscoes  I just can't bare that thought somebody please tell me I'm dreaming...Oh thank God...it's all been a dream, my 4 Roscoes are still nesting in the cases

It's nice to see that Akito's old 3-piece ebony top bass has found a good home. I was really impressed with that project and was sad to see it leave when it did. |

Akito's former 3006 really had a phat sound. Fairly heavy instrument but worth it's weight in tone!
Speaking of new homes, another BHB creation, XavidmanX's 3006, has definitely found a permanent home! It's really grown on me and become my favorite sounding and playing Roscoe yet. Awesome! Quote: |

With a Roscoe in the house, that poor Cirrus just never had a chance!
That would be like starting Byron Leftwich at quaterback when you have a healthy Payton Manning on the bench! |

2009?????????????? I'll definitely have another 10 Roscoes by then
Hey Joe,
you'd better add on to that mini manson for my additonal family members soon to come. Did I mention that I'm having quintuplets next year? |

Just admiring the gallery! | No offense taken and the very exact reason I'm trying to add Joe's 3006 to my collection ( My bass)...I mean Joe's bass really is a one-of-a-kind and those pictures hardly do it justice. In fact, I would venture to say that most pictures of Roscoes look a whole lot better in person. I guess the camera lens just can't handle catching all that beauty!  | | Thread Tools | Search this Thread | | | |
