I decided to put my specs on the roscoe seection, cause I thought who else should help me than acctual users..man I'm so smart

Well here's the post again...if you have any opinions please post them...I'm getting this bass for session work..so it needs to be versatile. I mainly play funk/R&B/ hip hop/black gospel/ jazz/ and fusion with some occasional country and rock. I live in the south where Skinnard is king...damn rednecks!!

I've been face-to-face with that piece of wood, recently.

If you're not totally hung up on maple for some reason, that top is SCREAMING for a wenge fingerboard......
