It's schedule to be delivered Monday... I'll let you know!

M | Yeah, the first time I looked, I only saw under construction pic's.
Very nice! Does it have a satin finish?
Cool looking fingerboard!
I really like the new Roscoe signature on the headstock.
I'm sure that you're pumped! |

M | M,
You are going to SO love this bass! I think you chose a great combination of woods that will give you a lot of mids and a smooth top end. It should be a killer!

This thing plays great. Imagine my surprise when it showed up at MY house today. 
James must have looked at his Cali client list and just clicked on the wrong name to send it to.
Now I have TWO new Roscoes to play around with. Don't worry though, I plan on coming to Los Angeles around thanksgiving to visit some friends, and I will be glad to hook up with you and bring it to ya.
You are right, the Perfect bass Pics are a little orange looking, It has more of the Gard Pic look to it.
Plays like buttah.
That thing is killer Mo, your gonna love it.  |

It's definitely closer to the reddish-brown in the production photos than the brownish-red of the TPB photos! (James needs to work on getting his colors straight! I used natural light for the photos of it during construction - it always gives a more "true" color representation than most flash work.)
Joe, the finish is a satin one, and it turned out very nice.
Joel, you're an evil person, and if you don't stop, I will push the magic button I have on my desk that turns your bass to dust.

Joe, I'm pumped, indeed... and I have to wait for another w-e 
BG, thanks... I hope it's gonna be "right on"... 
DrMWP, classic! I'm kind of a traditional guy on these stuff!
Joel, Gard is right... you're an evil boy and our Master Gard will punish you 
Thanks Gard, your pics are very good and, since I know something about wood, I can appreciate you trying to be as accurate as you can!
Now just ... waiting!

Thanx

M | I don't have a scale that is very exact, it's lighter than my bass, which reads at 11.5 lbs on our scale, IIRC, I popped it on the scale and it read 9.5, but don't take that as being an exact number.

Gard, I forgot why Keith had to change the finish on the back... I can't just not remember... man, it's not easy to get old
Thanks sir!
