Well I think I'm in love with this one I see first Roscoe with walnut top...is there big difference between maple vs. walnut top and purple heart vs. maple board on Roscoe instruments?...thanks W.

Not to my ears. I doubt that you'd hear much difference on that bass whether it had a purpleheart or a maple finger board. IMO the ash body will have much more affect on the overall tone of that bass. Should be very a aggressive sounding bass.
Ooh...someone's been visiting the BassNW website. What a gorgeous bass!
I'm a BIG fan of the ash/walnut combo. IME walnut is more aggressive - meaning it emphasizes the mids/upper mids - than maple, and on an ash body the result is a lot of focus and "quickness" to the attack. In general, I think maple boards emphasize this a bit more than purpleheart, but that's certainly subjective as well.
This is definitely one bass I'd love to hear.

Congratulations! That's an awesome walnut top! One of the nicest that I've seen.
That bass actually began the GAS that resulted in my recent purchase of a ziracote topped 3006 with a maple finger board.
I really love the constrast between the dark top and the maple finger board.
Definitely post some sound clips when you get a chance.
