Nice Roscoe

Roscoe Heads,

FYI Saw a nice custom 34" scale, 19mm spacing listed on bassgear. Pics look awesome. Sorry Gard if this isn't the right place to post , but thought the Roscoe heads should know.

Based on the pics and reviews, I'd agree with that.

This is really unfortunate; hopefully he can find a way to keep the bass

....from my last discussion with our intrepid web-spinning friend, all is not lost, it appears that common sense will win out and the bass will stay home....


....whew....

Good. I feel better now for posting about that Roscoe. I bet he never thought the Roscoe Police would get to him before he could make a decision he would regret later. Afterall a house is not a home if it doesn't have a Roscoe in it!

Fellow Roscoe Heads: As much as I would love to get my hands on a few preowned Roscoe, I think there should be a process for selling your Roscoe. Those wishing to sell their Roscoes would have to answer to the... Roscoe Support Group, if you will, to make sure they don't do anything stupid , (unless I can pick up a used Roscoe at a ridiculous price )

So all that noise about beatings and sandwich eating, that's all behind us now, right?

You know, in the greater scheme of things, if this went for $3000 to go towards a 30 year mortgage on a house...that comes to about .... 9 bucks a month in savings.

Keep the Roscoe....

Well, there was a little more involved than just a down payment but thankfully none of it is needed now. We've decided not to move.

I assume you decided it really wasn't worth losing the bass over, right?

Nope, I didn't sell my roscoe! If I did want to sell it, I thought I had to contact you first. I love it and can never sell it.
