...and why must you tempt me so! 
It's listed here: http://cgi.ebay.com/Roscoe-SKB-3006-...3A1%7C294%3A50
Just wondering if one of us forum-dwellers was the unfortunate soul who has to part with this beauty. If you're the seller or know of this bass, what does it sound like? Being a Roscoe its sound is, of course, finger-lickin' good but I'm wondering how the Spanish Cedar backwood and Diamondwood board sound together...dark and earthy, or more nasal and focused?
Thanks for any info you can provide.

This thing is just a wee notch short of that. Really cruel. |

I've submitted an offer.

Too bad your daughter just got married off, I could be calling you "pops" and you'd have a fretless. Think of it as dowry.

Only at *this* job, Gard, can you be habitually mean to customers in a down economy and still get them to part with thousands of dollars. Lol.

GAS = Guitar Anticipation Syndrome? Get Another Six-string? Give All Salary?
