My new baby!

I picked up my new Roscoe from the Roscoe shop a couple of weeks ago, with family in tow. #5936; exhibition quilt top, ash body, aqua finish, extremely cool birds-eye maple fingerboard, and Aguilar 3-band. She's a beauty and plays like a dream. The folks at Roscoe know what they're doing!! Thanks a bunch to Gard for letting me come by to pick out the top and fingerboard; picking out the wood makes this bass even more special. And, thanks to Roscoe for a wonderful bass!

Beautiful finish. I don't see too many 4-string Roscoes, either. Great family pic, too! Must be nice to be in NC and actually get to visit the factory.

What are the specs?

The first thing I said was, "How cool is that. He got to pick it up at the shop." Beautiful--just beautiful.

Hey Clint, I'll definitely post some more pics. Hopefully this evening. I'll especially take some good pics of the fingerboard - it's just plain amazing.

Well, I'm finally getting around to posting some more pics. Sorry for the poor quality. I stink at taking good pics; it doesn't do this bass justice!! Maybe I'll try some outdoor pics . . .

I was lucky enough to be there when Ben picked out the top for his bass. Gard wet down the raw wood and you could see the nice quilt, I knew it was a beautiful piece of wood, but wow, when you see it finished it just looks awesome.

I am happy for you Ben!
