SKB3006 5193

Hi Gard,
I finally got brave enough to pull of the neck on my 3006 to get the serial number. It has UK 5193 written in the socket, would have the spec's on it?
Thanks, Will

You pulled the neck off your Roscoe?! I know it's probably not that big of a deal, but I would be a nervous wreck. I'd probably drop the screwdriver on the bass and mess it up...

Hey Bro, what's up? the trick was finding the right allen wrench all the while thinking I'm going to have to pay someone to set it up again. But it went back together just fine.
Peace

That is due to the fine craftmanship that goes into a Roscoe!

+1 on that. I pulled the neck off my fretless to shim it a little and after putting it back together and adjusting the hight of the saddles for that nice low action I was amazed to find the only string that needed adjusting for intonation was the D,, and not by a whole heck of a lot either. Everything else was still perfect. How does that happen?? Oh I know... It's a ROSCOE....

Phew. That's gotta be a nice feeling.

I'm doing well. The worship team played really well today. I enjoyed the sunshine and warmth we had today in Buffalo (we don't get that often). Got to go for a nice long walk with my family and play outside with the kids. Good times.

Peace,
Joe

Sounds like a prefect day. Psalm 118:24, good times abound.
Peace, Will
