Question Body Shape



I've wanted a Roscoe for a while.

I know you basic body shapes.

But, I seen an old picture of Kim Stone.
And he was playing a 6-string, kind of like an SKB.
But with the lower horn gone. (body was cut straight)

What is this body shape?

And is it still made? (I dig it)

That's a modified SKB body.

I can't promise that we definitely will do it, but it could be requested....and you never know...

Thanks Gard,
Can this be done?
I feel a major GAS attack.

Of course it can! You'd be surprised what a chain saw and a little talent can accomplish!

And the bar-and-chain lube becomes the finish! Perfect!

It'll be the hot new bass trend at NAMM next year.

That'll really *cut* through a mix.
