Brand new to Roscoe. Just played one recently in Orlando at BC. Loved it!
The one I played was an skb 3006. I hear there are other models as well. What would be the difference in terms of sound? |

As for sound differences.......I once thought there was no sound difference, then I thought the SKB model had a phatter tone and now I think no difference again! 
Check back with me in a few months .......  |

Ok, I've been sworn to secrecy on this, but I'm willing to chance the consequences to share this important information... SKB's make you play better and appear more attractive. |

I was just getting ready to say the same thing about the "superior" instrument, the LG.

You're thinking of the LGJ Standard. The LGJ Special Edition you're referring to looks like this: 
See how the "club neck" has been upgraded to reach your target audience from a greater distance?

I suppose Jerry could tell you for sure. . . then again, maybe he "can't" now. Oh well. Hey, we're gonna need another VroomVroom TB user in here!
