Man the depth and contrast in that quilt is amazing.
Great looking bass. The maple board looks super with that body

Sweet Pete! That ranks up there with the best quilt that I've ever seen! With that amber stain on it the quilt is just popping out!!!

And yeah, it would have all been a total shame to have chrome satin hardware on that monster!

BLACK HARDWARE RULES!!!

If by lining the ends up I could cop Jerry's stuff, I'm all over it

Gonna be kinda tough with the B style bridge though.



God Bless, Ray

Very nice.

You want OCD? Try turning the tuning keys so that they're all flat next time. Makes for better pictures, and plus, nobody can "see" that your bass is out of tune.

What a gorgeous bass, Pete!

Is Mo Green still at the Tropicana? (10 OCD Roscoe Bucks to the first cat to get that one.)

Thanks Jerry. (I know that I am disqualified for these Roscoe OCD Bucks but, Mo hasn't been to the Tropicana since his "massage" incident).

"Do you know who I am?"

When it comes to Roscoe basses, Keith, Gard and Crew make us an offer we can't refuse!

Good tip Dave. I am still learning how to photograph these gorgeous insturments, believe it or not those pics were taken with my iPhone 3GS -pre iPhone 4.0 OS uprgade. No zoom, no flash (did have some editing help via iPhoto ). Thanks 'heads for all the kind words, it really is a work or art.

Great tip on the tuning machine alignments, will try that later...........TBD. Now for some bass playing tips!

First gig with the new bass tonight, looking forward to it. Will try to get a sound clip or two. Outdoor gig pool side by the ocean on Cape Cod in July, gotta love it!
