New Roscoe SKB-3006

Hi everyone. Finally got my Roscoe! It's my first one, but I intend on buying many more. Specs are; Red finish, Exhibition Quilt Maple top with a Swamp Ash Body. The neck is Maple with a Purpleheart centre lamination and Maple and Cherry accent laminations. The fretboard is Bird' Eye Maple. Bart electronics.

I can't believe how well defined each note is. It's easily the best bass I've owned. It's extremely light too which is a big plus.

I've very, very happy.

Thanks to George from Bass Gear Direct for this beautiful bass.

More pictures to come!

My blurry photos do not do this bass justice.

Additional notes: This bass is the easiest bass to play I've ever played. Thank you Keith and Co for making me sound like a better player than I am.

Roscoe Red has got to be my absolute favorite color on quilt or flame maple.

Beautiful bass.

Thumbs up

Congratulations!

Great looking Roscoe!

Roscoe red on a nice quilt top is one of my favorites too. It really brings out the quilt!
