Jim, Fortunately or unfortunately (dependant on perspective) for me, I have no bank account. This, should give you an idea of my current perspective. And I agree Greg is EVIL!



God Bless, Ray

Hey! I didn't grow that tree! And I certainly didn't give it a slow, sensual rub-down that lasted the better part of an afternoon.

Congrats Pete!

That Bart/Bart mean the pickups are Roscoe Barts?

Congrats, Pete! Thats the one that had my interest. But then my wife informed/reminded me that my next new Roscoe WILL have a buckeye burl top...........

That one has all the ingredients to be a killer bass!

May I suggest:

Gard and Keith put this on fast forward and drop ship it to me so you can pick it up on your February trip to S.FLA...

Sounds like a plan to me.

Thanks Ryan- I loved the pic of your two beauties and the Eden rig. See, I have two Roscoes but one is fretless and I neither band has the need for a great deal of fretless bass and the other is a 6 string and let's just say, i'm not super proficient (yet!).

Jim- That does sound like a great idea, well the fast forward part.

Now- back to selling my gear; anyone want a Fender A. Tele?

LOL. All of the Bubinga orders are now calling for the oil finish. I originally had two of them in Natural Gloss. Pete ordered one of those and changed it to oil. That got me thinking. Then Gard started asking questions, and next thing you know they're all oil.

Didn't take much to twist my arm - I prefer the oil finish myself, too.

Gard's been busy shooting bass porn at the Roscoe shop. I've tried my best to keep up with him, but that boy is working hard!!

I've grabbed a bunch of tops that came out of that new Bubinga board to go with some current orders. I also grabbed some tops as bait for future orders! Who's in?!?

First up is Pete/Bipslapper. Here's the top that Pete has chosen for his Roscoe-To-Be! A lovely choice, indeed. I'll go out on a limb and say that sentiment applies to every top in this thread!

Roscoe SKB-3005 (Bubinga, Wenge)


And here are the tops that I picked for the other two Bubinga orders from post #1 of this thread.

Roscoe LG-3000 (Bubinga)


Roscoe Century Standard Plus 5 (Bubinga)

Did you leave any for other dealers?

They're all great! I can't wait to see the finished creations.
