Mojo-Man's Custom Roscoe!!

This Roscoe SKB-3005 was ordered by Mojo-Man a couple months ago, and it's actually almost done! The neck is fretless and unlined, so Gard says it'll be done Monday or Tuesday...

Sorry for being a slacker about posting this one! No excuse, shame on me...

Congrats, Tom!! More fertile mytle!!

Greg my man.
Hope thats a misprint ?
It should be a SKB 3005 19mm spacing.
The neck pocket says SKB3005 19mm?
We did change it before body was cut.

Ooops, my bad! I went back looking for the invoice for this bass, and I just grabbed the first one I found. The SECOND/revised invoice says 19mm 5-string!!

Sorry for the scare!!

You've probably just given him a few less years to enjoy that bass.....

Much Joy.

Didn't get the memo? Minimalism is where it's at. A "3" would be 2 too many strings for a cat like you...

Tom - sorry for causing the poop hemorrage!! That's what I get for being in a hurry on a Saturday evening.

(...reviews invoice from Greg...)

5 string???


...19 mm?????


........oh no........

























You're all set dude: SKB 3005, 19mm string spacing, unlined fretless Bird's Eye Maple Diamondwood fingerboard.

Very minimalist looking when it's all together - I dig it.

I don't wanna have to play 4:33. The stuff in my head is louder than my rig.
