J | LOL!! You could try this equation:
New House + New Baby - Car + Moped + Blood donations = New Bass!

Wait... That's how it works already! | I actually believe that equation works without the "New Bass" factor included, so you might as well GET THE BASS!!!

I didn't used to like them, but they look great on Roscoe. When I used to see exposed poles on Fodera and Ken Smith basses, I didn't like 'em. I don't know why; I'm strange like that.

This is indeed one very tricked out bass, folks, and it lives up to the appearance, I really dug it. A lot. A whole lot. |
What's the standard string spacing at the bridge on an SKB3005 ? I have a Warwick thumb that is 16mm and a locally made custom 5 string that's 19mm - I can't decide which I prefer so it prob doesn't matter but i'm curious what the norm for Roscoe is anyway. |
