Man, that huge board yielded sooooooo many tops. I think it was close to 30 tops they got out of it...

Nothing says "Boost the economy" more than Bubinga!

While I'm chumming the waters, here are two more thin tops that I have on reserve @ Roscoe HQ for Standard Plus orders. Both are absolutely killer in terms of the intensity of the figure!

Roscoe Top (Standard+, Quilted Maple)


Roscoe Top (Standard+, Flame Maple)

FYI - the Bubinga topped LG-3000 that was on order has become an LG-3005.

Yep, I sold the Box Elder SKB-3005 fretless this morning. Was I allowed even 10 minutes to enjoy the sensation of actually having funds in my checking account? Noooooooo. Not according to Gard. "Hey, Greg, why doncha...?".

Arrghhh!!!! I'm destined to never have a showroom here at the new store!

The bass you're ordering will provide plenty of thunder!

I've been thinking about that top ever since I first saw it 2-3 years ago. I never put it up on my site because I planned to make it into a 6-string for myself at some point. I only just recently gave up on that happening, and you grabbed it right away. So I can't wait to see it!

That totally needs to be unlined,

Maple top, maple headstock, black board and hardware, add some Black Beauties =no metal colour at all.

Well, I'm not gonna argue with you, sir. Nope.

Not my bass to order though, so you'll have to speak to that guy up in Blacksburg!

I am guessing lined makes it an easier bass to sell from stock. If someone wanted to reserve it and change to unlined sometime before it's too late, I am sure Greg will be happy to oblige.
