New Century Signature VI: XXXX

CliffD · #1 09-19-2008, 06:13 PM

So I just "pulled the trigger" on a pretty sweet CSVI:

Ash Body
Killer Koa Top
Maple and cherry laminates
Wenge Wedge Neck w/ diamond wood nut
Birdseye Board w/ koa 12th fret
Nordstrand DC's in birdseye shells and a series/parallel/sc sw
Audere pre
Black HW

I'm pretty stoked, many thanks to that one guy, what's his name...Bard, oh yeah Gard! I appreciate all of the help! I'll be sure and post pics along the way.

Now the wait begins...

...speaking of photos, here's the one I just sent Cliff as a potential top for his bass

THUD.

Folks we have a winner! Wow Gard, that's awesome! I'll take it.

Gard · #4 09-19-2008, 07:19 PM

...I didn't think I'd have to ask twice...

Aside from the flame in the Koa, I REALLY(

) dig the contrasting shades of dark to light wood running through it, so I guess I'd say you guys over there at Roscoe have some ok wood.

Holy wow! Congratulations in advance. I can't wait to hear your thoughts on the sound of this beast, and I'll have my bib at the ready to collect the drool when I look at the finished pics.

That is just rediculous!!!!!! Man, you lucky dog. That is an amazing top. Congrats.

Big up to Gard and everyone at Roscoe once again, they provide some pretty amazing customer service

, right down to the "R" on the headstock even!

Congrats Cliff! Nice specs on that one. How long is the waiting period for a CSVI?

CliffD · #10 09-23-2008, 03:38 PM

I was told 6-9 months but maybe the Gardfather can narrow that margin down?

So while Gard may not be able to suggest a Roscoe dealer....I CAN! I can't say enough about the staff at Bass Emporium, good people and great service.

That's been my experience with all Roscoe dealers. Keith and Gard get incredibly lucky or do a fantastic job screening retailers that carry their basses.

IMO that's good, smart business.

BTW- You have a gorgeous bass in the works! That wedge neck will set it off nicely.

Great looking knobs Cliff! I've had some made my THD and they do a great job too.

Not bad looking scrap wood either!

I suspect that they saved the best part for the bass!

Those look great Cliff.

Any word on when the bass will be finished? I know that you're getting pumped!

You won't be disappointed. Roscoe is currently producing the best basses I've that I've ever seen or played.

New pics from Gard today:

Gard · #19 03-30-2009, 04:46 PM

...I forgot to mention that it's going to be very pleasantly LIGHT as well. Can't say for sure how light, but definitely LIGHT...probably in the sub 9 lbs range...

...oh, and your number is in: 5972

Oh my, thats so awesome, it actually physically hurts.
