First visit to Rocket Music

I finally made the pilgrimage to Rocket Music this week. I've been dying to play a Roscoe to see what all the fuss is about, I'm a believer now! Thanks to Greg (very cool guy, great player as well) and his staff for letting me try them out. A few photos for your drooling pleasure!

Thanks, Dude.

Greg- how can you even concentrate on work when surrounded by such beauty? They seem to be "floating" like the sirens beckoning you to acknowledge their beauty and bust out some funky bass jams!

Cool pics rollerberg2000, I am sure it won't be long until you procure one of these fine basses.

Thanks for the compliments guys. Greg got to wear that Ritter out, I always enjoy hearing a fellow bassist with some real talent play one of my basses.

I think I'm going to have to have one now, just have to convince my wife its "needed".

I'm Jealous man!

One day I'll make the trip, but alas, for now I'll drool over your pics.

Congrats on the trip. Here's to you snagging a Roscoe for your stable.



God Bless, Ray

Are you sure he wasn't thinking:

"Man, I hope that photographer doesn't see Heidi Klum hiding in the back room behind me; how do explain that to my wife?!?!?!"
