Me: "My dream bass just sold on ebay for $1500 - that's a really good deal"
Awesome Wife: "You should have just bought it. Your 40th birthday is coming up."

Me: "Doh!"

So if anyone has a fretless buckeye burl (preferred but not required) Roscoe they want to sell me for $1500, I have the green light.

lol

Sometimes it's easier to ask forgiveness than permission!

In your case, just asking would have been sufficient! :D

Maybe if you hang around Rocket Music long enough Greg will feel sorry for you and give you a killer deal on that NOS Roscoe SKB 3005 fretless. :)

It would have to be one killer deal. Greg's a good guy but he's not running a charity.

I'm trying to convince myself that I didn't really want an LG anyway...

I believe this one is back up on eBay.

Well, too late. I just gave Greg a deposit yesterday. And I'm not sad about it.

Congratulations!

What the specs?

SKB 5+ FL
Mahogany body
Lined BEM Diamondwood board
Monkey Pod Top
Bart Jazz pups in the JB location.
Black Hardware.

No wonder you aren't sad about it! :D

Awesome spec's!

All you guys getting these fretless basses made with the jazz p/u's in the JB are beginning to make me jealous! :)

I came real close to using that same top with your exact specs except six strings. But, I decided to go custom. Your bass is going to be killer!

Glad you passed! I was psyched to find out he had a Monkey Pod for me!
