Give us the spec's !
I've got a feeling that this is going to be good! 
P.S. The fact that you're having your own Roscoe's built from scratch indicates that you may be turning from your old poaching ways!  |

Since there are a few LATE comers to the party, how 'bout we start with one picture to get mouths watering. . .
Here is the block that BOTH necks will be cut from. About 6 necks will be cut from this block. Purpleheart STINKS to high heaven when being cut, but well worth it--that's one HARD wood and I just love the smooth feel, unlike the wenge neck.
I call it "Purpleheart Lovers Dream" aka Wedge neck with PH center and stringers. My necks will be 35" and shaved down like Gard's.   Quote:

Hopefully the recovery from POACHing will be easy on me. I've got a lot of close friends and counselors (thanks, Crash) working me through it. Now I'm not embarrassed to say:
"I'm dataBASS, and I'm a POACH-aholic. On my honor it's been 6 months since my last POACH."
*group chimes in* Hi, data!

I love watching Roscoe's come together from scratch! Just amazing!  How 'bout some full spec's Data?
If you can't purchase a Roscoe, the next best thing is getting to witness some one else get one!
Speaking of such.....I finally got Leurastus (a local middle GA TB'er) to make the Roscoe plunge (again)! This time it was for a more standard 35" scale Roscoe (first one was a 34" scale w/19m string spacing). I'm pumped to be able to have another local to talk Roscoe basses with!  |

Here's a couple more of the neck since that got such a good response:
Wedge neck from the back of the headstock down: 
Neck channeled for graphite and truss rod. If you have exceptional eyes you can see where this neck was initially spec'd @ 34" before I changed my order to 35" scale. You may even be able to guess the body top of one of my basses.

THIS IS WHY (no matter what LS Boo! tells you) Roscoe necks don't have issues.

(In reality, thanks for saving me from coughing up $2200.00-that thing is too SIC!)
As for true improvisational prowess, who could mistake that unique signature blues progression for none other than our very own "2 Thumbs Clint", who characterized the garage band phrase, "if you can't feel it, play it anyway".
