New Fretless build #6185

I present to you my second Roscoe.

SKB 3005 fretless
Enhanced grain ash body
Quilted Sycamore top with Gloss finish
standard Roscoe neck with slim profile
Black diamondwood fb with lines
Roscoe barts, and electronics
Black hardware


This is the first Roscoe that I know of with this top wood, and I am BEYOND words pleased with what Gard and Keith picked out for me...

Roscoehead for life!!!

Thinking about it.... I might have to get the Roscoe "R" tattooed on me at some point

Very nice. Forget the tat and get a brand if you're really serious.

Dropping acid and picking up that bass would be a BAD idea.
Beautifully hallucinogenic top.

Very classy looking! I love that top.

Congratulations! Great combo on the overall build too. Nothing beats a Roscoe fretless! Nothing!!!

Most excellent! You will love the Bart-Bart electronics with the fretless diamondwood board. That combination kills!
