Well, I don't own one---YET. Hopefully soon, if I can ever decide on exactly what options I want, or find one for sale that really does it for me.

Until then, I will continue to play the one that is sitting in my living room right now. Until my friend decides that I have had it long enough and wants it back, that is. He was going to sell it to me about a month ago, but decided against it. SO, I borrowed it about a week ago to spend a little more time on one. It's gonna be tough giving it back.

Edit: Roscoe Roscoe Roscoe Roscoe

I currently want a fretless, and I also want an SKB. Perhaps a fretless SKB? Hmmmm... :^D

They didn't have to. Bassmanbob said it four times. That's four times the amount needed for the thread to qualify!

...thinking about them all the time is a problem??? I just call it work (well, kinda )...



...naming your dog Roscoe is either serious brand loyalty or truly disturbing...maybe both???

Hey all,
Got here as soon as I could.

Eristic, what color is the Roscoe with the maple fingerboard. My monitor is not very good at translating colors.

If you REALLY want an SKB fretless, go to Bass NW for a beautiful one! It's probably a killer!

I 've got 2 skb 3006 (fretted and fretless), and, what can I say, they're just the 2 best basses I ever tried/owned !

I think i'm seriously addicted to the Roscoe quality and can see that I'm not alone !

regards,

Lionel

Enroll me in the RoscoeHeads Club

My ROSCOE SKB3006 is the best sounding and playing bass that I've owned.

I can't wait to buy 2 or 3 more.

Only one Roscoe so far, but that's not to say there won't be more Roscoes to come! The Roscoe LG stole me back to 4s after I almost dedicated myself to 5s. Two years on the Roscoe, and I'm just picking up 5+s again. I'd LOVE to play a Roscoe 6 now. Hmm... A Roscoe might make a good grad present to myself for finishing college!
Brendan... Roscoe gonna be able to do you a black wide-spaced Roscoe 4? My Roscoe 4 is jazz-width, and I've never seen a Roscoe without a fancy Roscoe top.

Jivetrk,
I love that bass too! You have some terrific looking woods on that puppy. Have you ever thought about installing an Aguilar 3-band in there?


Matt,
Go for the 7, man!! We're almost into September -- you can tell your wife it's an early Christmas present!
