Roscoe SKB-3005 J In The Works

I've had this Roscoe SKB-3005 on order for a while, and I recently asked Roscoe to start moving ahead with it. While I was at it, I changed it to a "J" with a natural oil finish. Schwing!!

Here's the raw top that originally caught my eye:


And here's how it looks as of today:


This should make for a KILLER look with the spalted purpleheart fretboard.

Yeah, I hate when I ask Roscoe to sit on some of these great tops for too long. I'm trying to work my way through my reserved tops. It'd go faster if Gard would stop selling me on other tops in the meantime, but what are ya gonna do?!?

It doesn't sound like he's slowin' down any buyin' 'em right?

Greg Have you ever told someone who say put a Roscoe in Layaway. "Oh no, Don't pay cash for this sweet new amp rig, you've got a bass in layaway"?

Pot meet Kettle?

It's the salesman's fault I spent $5K today, not mine. Every buyer blames the Sales, unless THEY'RE the sales.

Ironic huh.



God Bless, Ray

It's criminal that I don't have to wall to hang this on at the new building (yet!). Sigh. It's back in the box and on a shelf.

I do have my Berg NV610 over here now, so I did get a chance to hear it as it should sound. Man alive, it's a killer tone! Very similar to the LG-3000 J that I have in stock. Both are absolutely killer basses, I love these Roscoe J's.
