|  | Fan of the N.O. Saints | | | | | My First Roscoe?
A while back I posted a thread asking if I should get a Roscoe bass or not, and the overwhelming answer was yes! However, finances didn't work in my favor at the time and I unfortunately had to let that dream go.
I have an upcoming move after I graduate with my masters and I will be looking for a job. I think I have decided that it would be best for me to consilidate a couple of basses that I have and pick up one REALLY good bass that I would like to have.
I am primarily a church player and I have never actually needed a back up, but I have a inexpensive 4 string that I could use if I had to.
There is a Roscoe in the classified's that I'm trying to close a deal on right now. Hopefully, I can close that deal and move these other two basses and start saving for a GREEN burst Roscoe.

You can always add another nice backup as finances allow. In all of the years that I've played a Roscoe (16) I've never needed a backup. Of course things do happen and I do keep 3 basses but they serve different purposes (fretted 6, fretted 5 & fretless 5).
You'll certainly not regret going with a Roscoe. I've owned and tried everything out there and there's just nothing better.
GAS drives a lot of players to sell (even Roscoe's) and try a lot of other basses. But once the thrill of GAS is gone, it really comes down to finding a great playing, great sounding and great looking bass. One that you really enjoy playing and can get your sound out of.
IMO, if you can't get your sound out of a Roscoe then you just haven't discovered what your sound is! |

Danny and I have been spending waaaaay too much time lately thinking about marketing... a guy representing a brand could spend HOURS trying to come up with something this simple that says so much... and it wouldn't be half as good as Joe's comment! |

| | Almost famous since 1974. | | Join Date: Jan 2007 Location: Austin, Texas | | | Definitely diggin' it. Your early description of the bass playing itself was nothing short of spot on. And, what a looker too! I've gotten more compliments than I can count about both the tone and looks of it.
It's a great contrast to my Sadowsky. And while I love the Sadowsky and it's a wonderful bass, the sonic territory I can cover with the Roscoe is astonishing. Just a really great bass that I can't say enough good about.

Joe, wow, thanks for the compliment, and what a beautiful statement!

And a Saints team that decides to show up and actually play some football this weekend...and next weekend...and for the rest of the damned season...
