Who's the biggest ROSCOEHEAD?

Gard · #1 11-04-2008, 03:25 PM

OK guys (and girls!

), time to prove who's the biggest Roscoehead of 'em all...

CONTEST TIME!

Here's the idea:

Put together a paragraph about why YOU should be in one of the banner ads on the left side of the page over <-- there, and/or a 10 or so word slogan (kinda like Clint's killer "Building The Groove One Bass At A Time" one...), include a photo of yourself (with your favorite Roscoe - 125 px wide by 300 px tall).

Once all the entries are in (we'll make a cut-off date decision in a day or so, say 2 weeks), I'll get the guys in the shop to narrow it to their favorite 3 entries, and all three will be in a rotating flash ad here at TB...

...so, who's up for it?

All entries should be via e-mail to: info@roscoeguitars.com

Oh no you didn't!!!!

No surprise that I'm one of the first to reply.....

I love the participation thing - very, very cool!

My problem - gig shots of me and the Roscoe usually entail me in a tuxedo. Maybe I could offer the 'James Bond in Casino Royale' or 'George Clooney at the Oscars' vibe...only with my ugly mug hiding behind a gorgeous Roscoe bass.

Paragraph? No problem? I've bought two of these darn things in the past year, and I've been playing the fretted beauty on nearly every gig. Now the slogan....that could be tough....

Because Gard says so, damnit.

How many Roscoes would a woodchuck own if a woodchuck....

Why, yes. I do have some Grey Poupon.

...obviously I still have some work to do.

Biggest? I'm 6'3", 260. I'd like my t-shirt now, please.

Honestly, I just wish I had my $$ so I could get a Roscoe so I could put myself in this contest!

You gents just are not getting it!!!!

Here is an example:

Let Roscoe fill-up (feel up) your bottom.

Feel free to mix and match any of the above to create your slogan.

I will throw some out here as examples:

Roscoe, bringing the booty to the groove.

Roscoe basses, because nothing else will do.

Let Roscoe fill-up (feel up) your bottom.

Roscoe, add some hand crafted booty to your sound.

Feel free to mix and match any of the above to create your slogan.

Clint,
It sure sounds like you're trying to sabotage our slogan creativity!

I would never do that, just reading the post those just popped in my mind. In hind site I probably should have only posted one example.

I have faith in Roscoe heads, I know you guys will come up with some that will lay my examples to waste. I will go delete some before anyone else sees them.

Joe, you will have to edit your post to remove some.

I think we get it - some of us are just being sarcastic. (And maybe saving our better ideas for the contest.

)

Nonetheless, mixing and matching, I come up with:

Booty nothing else feel up hand crafted booty.

Thank you. I'll be here all week.

...and I had such high hopes for this week too...

Sorry, Gard. But like I've told my parents, my wife, my in-laws... get used to disappointment.

Believe me, we're in the same boat there!

VroomVroom · #12 11-05-2008, 09:27 AM

Edit...I should've added "drummers" to that list.

Okay - sorry for the hijack.

More coffee for me, and back on-track for the thread. I'll be entering early next week, just for the fun of it and in the spirit of participation in support of a company that offers amazing instruments. I've got a trio date down in Santa Cruz, and a photographer (okay, drummer...po-TAY-toe, po-TAH-toe) lined up to snap shots of both SKB's.

Son, I sure hope you will not disappoint us again, can't you be more like your brother or sister?

Since Gard will probably toss my vote due to hanging chads, I'll cast mine here.

I'm going with Super Joe (JOME77) just due to the sheer number of Roscoes that he's owned over the years.

However, I can think of about another two dozen regulars on the board (as well as customers of mine...not a mutually exclusive group here), that could EASILY win this one.

speaking of "campaign", since this is an election year, I think Gard should convert this to a poll and let fellow Talkbassers VOTE on who's the biggest Roscoehead!
