Hmmm. I am liking the way this is developing. My only hurdle is taking the "Giants Bass" away during baseball season. Can you offer me safe haven from the Mrs.?

A Little Roscoe Fun

Greg, your recordings are pushing me over the edge. I think in gonna get an Apogee Jam for my iPad. GarageBand for iPad has all those one touch auto instruments that add such nice chords and drum beats.
I have a real book or two, I should be able to do this stuff, too. I can't afford the super nice gear you have, but GarageBand does alright for basic home stuff I think.

Done. Should have it by Friday.
GarageBand installed on iPad.
Now I need Jon's bass and I'll be good to go.
Gard now has this thin Katalox top on reserve for me. It can be used to make an LG Standard Plus bass. I'll leave it available for a custom build for a little while. If nobody grabs it, I'll eventually turn it into a stock piece for my store.
Roscoe Top (Katalox Std+)
And here's what it looks like with the LG body mask laid on it:
This thin top was cut from the same billet that yielded the top on this bass:

Very cool, unique top. Mike Tobias has made a number of similar looking basses with a wood called something like 'Rose of the Mountain' (probably have that wrong, but something like that). Unique look for a bass. I dig it!
Here's one that was originally intended for my store's inventory, but the customer intercepted the build and turned it into a special order. We love when that happens!
So this one is just passing through. It's headed to Israel. Thanks, Etay!

If I had a Roscoe Hall of Fame, this would be in it. Even the gold just works.
The bass SOUNDS amazing, too. That all Wenge wedge neck produces the most pure notes you can imagine. If "piano" tone is your thing, that's the neck for you. The B-string is absolutely amazing on this bass.
I've played 3 basses with this neck on it so far: Greg is right, it WORKS.
In my future, there is one of these.

And it's been a variety of body woods, right? This one is Mahogany, Doug B's was Walnut. Do you remember the body wood on the third one? I'm wondering if Ash was ever in the mix...

The back of that bass looks better than the fronts of most basses.
This bodes well for the Rocket Music LE basses, even though they'll sound a fair bit different with the maple neck and Aguilar electronics. Awesome!
Yup, the very first one was a solid Ash body with a Pearl White finish (Brandt Borque from Louisiana has it).....
Here is today's new arrival from Roscoe! This is a KILLER bass. Great looks, fantastic tone. Slurp!
