... from Mark at Bass Direct, and amongst a few bits and bobs, was something I've been after a while, a Roscoe gigbag.
I have a slight case of OCD(nowhere near Jerry levels.   ), and carrying my Roscoes about in a bag that said Cort on the outside bugged me. That's all sorted now. (Sorry for the crummy mobile shots, all I can do for the time being.) 
It's a very, very nice bag too, digging the pale gray colour, very close to Games Workshops Fortress Gray, IIRC. Some lovely fur on the inside, thick padding. Lovely stuff, quality bag. 
And of course, the money shot, since this is where my trouble started.... 
Funny thing is, to keep it from creasing, they put a piece of wood in it, so it couldn't fold over during postage, never heard of anything like that before, so, what the heck, here's a pic of that too. 
Odd, huh?

Koa?? Pretty sure it is!
Lovely looking bass. That can't of been at Bass Direct for more than 24 hours before you snaffled that one!

To be quite honest, I e-mailed Mark about it the day Gard put it in the post, it was literally in the door and back out again.

Anxious to hear your thoughts. |

Awesome Bill! I can't believe that you kept it so quiet!
Great looking Roscoe! I just love that top.
I suspect that the spacer wood greatly increased the cost of that gig bag! |

Anxious to hear your thoughts. | While it may well indeed have been influenced by Pacmans (incredible!) bass, in my case, it was as much luck, as it was being made as stock for Bass Direct. Quote:

Still, probably cheaper than a Fodera or Alembic gigbag....  Quote:

| Just been checking on things with my phone. I can't believe I missed this though.
I'm a dunderhead 
Love the KOA though. It and the Chilean Laurel are my favorite dark tops.
Now I truly wish I were outside your doors
God Bless, Ray

God Bless, Ray | You haven't missed anything bro, quite the opposite in fact, you're right on time.
I agree, I've wanted a koa bass since I first saw it years ago, IIRC, it was Greg's bass too! Chilean Laurel is magic too!
It would be a mighty time, if you were.

Sooooo... the million dollar question how's the tone??????
Aggressive like a J bass but smooth to play like a Roscoe? (my guess) | | Thread Tools | Search this Thread | | | |
