Well guys I just took the plunge and bought this beauty below from Bass Central.
The specs are Roscoe SKB 3006 Black-Gold Stain Exhibition Grade Quilt Maple Top Over Swamp Ash Body, Maple/Purpleheart Neck w/Bird's Eye Maple Fingerboard, Bartolini Humbuckers & Audere 4 -Band EQ, DiamondWood Nut, Black Hardware.
It looks like a real machine. It should be here in about 3/4 days.....  . I cant wait to hear this thing through my rig.
I wish I could add a larger picture for more detail. When I get it in I will.

Congratulations! 
Great looking Roscoe. Let us know what you think about the Audere pre paired with the Barts. I know it sounds very nice with the Nord p/u's.
Also post some fresh pic's when it arrives!  |

Does anybody have like a time-warp machine I can borrow just to get me to next Tuesday? It has only been 3hrs since I made the deal and I feel like I'm dying over here.

I will say that it is awesome. The action / playability is great. The tone is killer and so adjustable with the Audere. It seems to be very transparent and makes the bass sing. So much so that I cut off the preamp on my Eden 405 and it sounds great, if not better  .
Good things are happening at Roscoe basses. More info on this later.

I must say it is really a great bass.
Everything on it is just awesome. The preamp lets the woods really jump out at you. It sounds so clean it is unreal. The playability is sick.
Oh and BTW....I played through an Epifani rig the other day....sweeeeeet. I have been GAS'ing every since. Looks like I'll be making another purchase here shortly.
Here are a couple pics:

The camera doesn't even really capture the true color.
The second picture here is not the real color, the first is.

By the way, I can totally relate to two items you mention:
Photographing the black gold finish is a BEAR; Epifani cabinets cause incredibly painful GAS (I have a UL-310 series II that is calling for a twin  ).

I play my Roscoes through Epifani cabs as well - perfect match!
(the jury's out on gold hardware but that is a beautiful instrument.)

I was at the Roscoe shop with my bass and Keith and Gard said I had a "Pimp Bass" because I had Gold Hardware. 
What can I say, I like Gold Hardware. |

...I said I call the black/gold hardware the "Pimp My Bass" hardware, reminds me of that awful MTV show "Pimp My Ride".
