The pics really do make it look a lot worse than it is... |

Gard Buddy,
Also since I found Turbo Dog in O'Do, I'm hooked. No one carries it around here on the Cape, so perhaps if you throw in a case (or 2) I can find my credit card (Greg has seen the card a few times, but nothing as sexy as this fretless). |

I think that was to celebrate my Koa bass being rushed through production in time for my trip to Vic's bass camp. Or some other great thing they did for me... who can recall them all? |

| | Well, Ahoy Paloi | | Join Date: Sep 2009 Location: Cape Cod, MA | | ...oh man, this is tough! I was in the (slow) process of doing the specs on a potenital Bubinga top fretless 5, but now this.
(And to think I landed a big job today at work)
...Help, Jerry, Bill, Ray, Greg- Wait; Greg's no good, Help!  |

(Sorry man, but the only help you'd get from me is if I had enough Roscoe Bucks to snag this one first) BWAHAHAHA.......
Seriously though, if you can, get it. You can always flip it when the dough reappears for the Bubinga topped Dreamscoe
God Bless, Ray

|  | Cogito Ergo Idiot | | Join Date: Jan 2007 Location: SF Bay Area, CA | | Pete, I'd be willing to bet that fretless sounds similar to mine....ballsy fat mids with wicked lows and crisp highs. If so, I would be of no help whatsoever. And while my Roscoes aren't identical twins, there is certainly a fraternal thing happening there...SKB, ash, myrtle. Oh my.
The only possible thing I can say...and I know Joe is with me on this...perhaps a swap to black hardware, just to complete the Lord Vader look? |

"Join Me; what are you stupid in the head, it's a Roscoe Fretless you DB?" 
OR:
"Join me and complete your destiny" 
(I never knew Luke had 2 Dads. LOL)

Ok, so I know this has no real bearing on the sound of the bass...or of the playability. So it's strictly a vanity thing. But just damn...black hardware on that bad boy? Talk about a bass that looks as wicked as it sounds. |

And a little dampness applied with a little heat (and a little rubbing) might just raise the grain up a bit on that boo-boo. |
