Awesome Clint! 
Nice maple finger board too!
I fallin' back in love with the LG models after picking up my newest Roscoe. It looks more elegant IMO. After many A/B's with SKB's I just don't think there's really any difference in sound/tone between the LG and SKB models (with same string denomination). |

She served me well, and I trust she will work hard for you as well. I guess I should change my avatar... that is, once my part of this little 3-way deal arrives. MUUAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!! |

To my brain, that is one of the hottest Roscoes around! | Yeah, and it's even more hottererer in person... as always, pics never do a Roscoe justice. It wasn't on the block at all, but this opportinity kinda popped up right in front of me and I couldn't resist. It was weird packing it up and sending it off, but it makes it easier to know that it's in great hands.
I'm cool though, because... well, let's just say that the Roscoe on it's way to me is no slacker in the "hey now look at THAT" department. Both Clint and Gard can confirm that. (No, Gard isn't the 3rd person in this triangle, lol)
What do you think Clint, Gard, should I give them an early preview? |

I've tried to pass that info along a couple times, but apparantly no one believes me...sigh...
...the original owner is a very regular visitor to us at the shop, and I've played that bass a lot of times, it's a killer. He has a wonderful new Century Sig VI that is easily it's equal, but he still talks about that one.

I must have missed that part in your PM, I just saw the part about the FB. Mo matter, doesn't change anything for me!
Clint, you gotta let me know what you think when you take the LG out for it's first public spin.
