Hey Cedrick!

Your bass is actually moving along nicely now, the body is in finish, the neck has been cut out, so we'll definitely be hitting your delivery time!

Just to be a Roscoe dealer is to be cool! But thanks for the kind words, Cedrick! I can't wait for you to lay your hands on the completed bass, should be a killer!!

I'm gonna have to arrange to come down to the Roscoe shop the day you pick it up. We can all grab some lunch or dinner if it works out for everyone. And this time it's on me, Gard!! Although you do still owe me a Bud Light 12'er

Gard is more of an "Oscar the grouch" than Big Bird.

By the way, Cedrick, when do you want to get this puppy? Believe it or not, you can pretty much name the day anytime after the next few weeks - the body is already final cleared and in line to be sanded and buffed; the neck is already being shaped!

No rush or pressure, we can either finish it out or slow it a bit, your choice!

OK Bro,

I'd rather dodge trashcan lids than what Big Bird would offer.

How do I put this without getting in trouble with TB? Um Big Bird is not very "manly" if you catch my drift.



God Bless, Ray

You callin' me less than manly here, boy?

...notice, I was being referred to as Oscar The Grouch, and if you keep it up, Texas, I'll make him look like a sweetheart...

Your boy Greg called you "Big Bird". I replied you were more of an "Oscar the Grouch" type to take up for you.

You then invited Greg for "lunch and beer".

You still Got Nawlins on the brain or somethin'?

Last time I take up for you..

Greg calls you a "fruity" Bird, I refer to you as a manly dude who talks a lot of trash, and I'M THE ONE who catches the wrath?





God Bless, Ray
