Was just watching Ahmad Jamal at North Sea 1989 on youtube and the bassist (James Camack) is absolutely a monster! Check him out.

Thanks, all. I think I’ll try raising a bit at the bridge and see how it goes.

Quick question: The trussrods on Roscoes are not dual-action, right? I ask because I've put TIs on my SKB6s (flats on fretless and jazz on fretted) and the strings are pretty low. I wanted to raise them a bit from the fret/fingerboard and noticed the trussrod is zeroes out. Guessing the...

Late to the party and haven't read all eight pages. Hopefully, you opted to let everyone know. Unvaxxed AND immunocompromised in the band?!?! You actually considered telling those folks a moral conundrum? C'mon, man. Get real.

This is the only GWB2 that I've ever seen. Well, not this "one" but they've all been brown as far as I KNOW. Regardless, great basses. GLWTS.

Here's the photo from the sales ad:

Yep. I picked it up here a few years ago. It even came with a custom pickguard which I removed as it was on there with just double-sided tape.

Wwhhaattt? No Custom Shop? I thought this was a CS bass: Ebony fretboard, mil pre.

Today, I will say Gary King. Loved his stuff with early Bob James.
