The red does nothing for me, but the green one is just gorgeous.

Very nice looking. That might be the bass that gets Major Metal into Roscoes.

Does the fingerboard have a green stain on it? If so, Id love to see a pic showing it better.

That bass was made back when you could get fretless diamondwood 'boards in colors (as opposed to the three options that are offered now: black, birdseye maple, and "rainbow"). You could get a blue 'board to match your blue bass or a green 'board to match your green bass. I'm sure that someone along the line thought that it would be neat to have a green fingerboard with a blue bass, but I have yet to actually see one!

ja, but realistically it does not show thru much more than you
see it in the pics above. looks a little like a tint, and comes
across a bit irregular. interesting effect though. not sure i
would have ordered one this way, but when you get it used,
you get it the way it comes!

someday i will splurge on a new Roscoe, but the twins will
have to suffice for now. Personally, i would go for a natural
look in quilted or spalted maple.
