| | | | Roscoe Thunderbird?
I am new here, so I apologize if this subject has been discussed already.
I noticed on Roscoe's website, a photo of a carved topped "T-Bird" style bass. It reminds me of the white bass Perry Richardson had in the band Firehouse.
Is Roscoe producing this as an option? If so, how much?
I will put an order in at Atlanta Bass Gallery in a few weeks!
Thanks |

A guy in Raleigh, NC just down the road from me ordered that bass. You may want to give Gard a call at Roscoe, the contact info is on the left hand side of the website www.roscoeguitars.com. |

You can also check out the Thread below to check out the actual build of that T-Bird Roscoe. It's real cool! Entering the queue |

I would love to see another one of these built. |

| | | | Thanks to everyone for the info and links to photos. I spoke with Gard and he was very helpful. I am now waiting for Atlanta Bass Gallery to get back to me.
Will Roscoe install different bridges/tuners if provided by the customer?
Is there a pick-up option as well? |

They were pretty cool on pickups, I didn't see nordy big singles listed but they got them for me and with the audere it's a slamming sound. Also they has a very good solution to the neck pin placement. Mine is where one of the neck bolts is. still a little dive, but not bad. |

| | | | Thanks Lamar,
I like EMG's (P+P), Would they use Schaller hardware? Dimarzio strap-locks?

If you want to know what it sounded like.... http://www.archive.org/details/FUY2008-1-10
I think there is some bass noodling in Jims Chicken. |
