Here's an update on the next Roscoe "J" that I've ordered. This one is a Century-3005 with an incredble Bosse/Sapele top.
Ash Body, Standard Neck w/ Wenge fretboard, Bart J PUPs & Bart 3-band pre, Oil finish. Yum!!!
Here's the raw top: 
And here's the body as of today:  |

It's also known as African Mahogany. Not that it's even remotely related to Mahogany, that was just a marketing gimick some schmuck thought up ("Hey, if we call it Mahogany, we might get some dunce to buy it"). |

| Doesn't look like any Mahogany I've ever seen. Kinda a dumb gimmick.IMO.
Makes for a great Roscoe though. 
BTW, Is this the one Jerry needed to see, or you got another one in the bullpen?
God Bless, Ray

I remember the amp, it's awesome.
I wish you could get good bass amps at that size/format, espcially an all tube setup, even thought of moving to a guitar rig, if I could get one with enough lows.
