My fretless SKB has a Spanish cedar body with a maple top (+ebony fb). And I quite like the Roscoe Barts in it. A bit dark ( I like it dark), but no lack of bite. I actually find it quite versatile. I find it not too far removed from the Fbass AC6 that I used to have, which no surprise had a...

Thanks Tony! That's fantastic, woodshedding material to keep me busy for awhile. I just picked up your Bass Academy book, and there's lots to learn from in there too. Thanks for sharing your knowledge, it makes the world a better place. :) Andre

Hot!

That's an absolutely gorgeous bass! And the price is killer. I can't believe nobody has snatched this up. The Roscoe birdseye diamondwood fingerboard is not only super hot, it's the most durable fretless board out there...

Hey, that looks familiar. :)

Gard, that Century is a beauty. Andre
