Who should be the new Roscoe dude?

[CactusmanDoug]

Howdy Fellow Roscoeheads,

We all are familiar with the picture displayed when you go to the Roscoe webpage. Now understand that I've no intent to offend anyone (the gentleman pictured might be Keith or Gard's uncle or cousin that may no longer be with us), I'm sure that whoever this guy is, he's a fine fellow.

However, I've personally never been able to connect with what the picture is saying. He doesn't really look like a bass player and seems to be clutching that Century in a way where you think of him as being emotionally traumatized... maybe Data has just come in the room and he's scared to death that the Datapoacher's gonna whack him over the head and take his new bass like he did the last one. Then he'd have to bum more pain medication from Clint. This is something many of us can relate to at least in part.

Nevertheless, Roscoehead brethren, we are upon a new year so please feel free to exercise all your creativity as we endeavor to come up with a new mascot dude for 2009.

I've always thought that he looked a bit motion sick.....then again he may not really own the Roscoe that he's clutching and he's just green with envy........

Bottom line, it is time for a change! "2001 Space Odyssey" is ancient history.

Maybe we should go for Gov. Huckabee playing a Roscoe!
.....and the slogan:

"You need a Roscoe to Play with the Big boys!"

Hi, basss. I think he meant this photo, from the photos that cycle on the homepage:



I figured that was a portrait of Keith Roscoe.

Best,

Oh OK yeah that is kinda spooky! Kinda reminds me of The Shining - don't ask my why

[CrashClint]

That is TBer Steve Clark. To see an old picture of Keith, look at the ads on the left side, when you come to a black and white of a guy with a guitar, that is Keith.

No guys-

Click on the link: www.roscoeguitars.com

You'll see this guy holding a Century Sig. If you stare at it long enough you'll hear Amy Winehouse singing "try to make me go to rehab"

Thanks,

The bass is gorgeous, but the dude does kinda' make me think of either Billy Ray Cyrus or Brian Bosworth.

Yeah definitely the Boz.......in the early years!

..and holding a bass is probably all the Boz could do with a bass...

Well Doug, to me a LG is the bass of the Century.....at least this one!

By the way, what's that in your avatar? Did I miss something?

You're right about that...that is one awesome bass you just got!

The avatar is just a shot from a few years back that Gard sent when I was looking at different tops and necks.

Now...back to topic.

We need to start fresh with a new Roscoe dude because this guy just looks lost in the picture...the least he could do is move his right arm so you could see that gorgeous bass. If there were another frame following, you would expect to see a bouncer ripping that bass out of his hands and putting it back in it's stand on the stage.

C'mon guys, let's get creative!

I think he's some big name country bassist...I just can't remember what his name is...

You know Clint, If Gov. Huckabee had actually played and endorsed Roscoe basses he would've not only won in the primary but would be on his way to the White House next month. Man...the guy looks good sportin' that LG.
