Yo, SteveC - here's your new beauty! She should be on the way to you today or tomorrow! I recorded a quick sound clip 'cause the bass sounds AWESOME! I leaned on the bridge pickup slightly and left the EQ flat, and I recorded direct through a REDDI tube DI.

Now if I only had a REDDI...

What is the weight of the Steve's bass?

What is the weight of the Steve's bass?

I didn't weigh it before I shipped it, but it was quite light for a Mahogany bodied Roscoe...

 

[SteveC]

I asked for it to be as light as possible. I'll weigh it after I get it.

Listening to the clip you made, it sounds absolutely amazing. Props on your playing as well Greg.

Steve, go weigh your bass!

Opps you posted while I was typing.

One of the local musicians here a few years ago had an unlined fretless with maple top, mahogany body and black diamondwood fretboard, he had put tape wound strings on it and it was a mmwaaahhh machine. If I could get it to produce some mwah with my poor technique, you know in the hands of skilled fretless player that bass would have sung the blues.

On another note, I haven't been on the Rocket page in a while and totally missed the Sienna finish, WOW!

 

[RocketMusic]

Yessir. WOW is right on the Sienna Burst!!

 

[SteveC]

I have a tracking number. Should see it on the 9th.

I've only listened on my iPad and phone and even then it sounds amazing. I am so excited to play this bass!

 

[Basshappi]

That is a Mwahh Machine for sure, Congrats Steve!

My "tax return" is post #642 of this thread. Another amazing Roscoe. I hope to have a good recording from church one of these weekends to share.

Here's a lovely new arrival from the boys in Greensboro! I always love seeing what a gorgeous piece of art a raw top turns into!

[LightGroove]

WOW...Lovely, whats with the red bodies all of a sudden?

 

[RocketMusic]

They used to do the red back a lot, and I always loved the look. So I ordered a few that way, just to dress up the natural finish a bit...

 

[SteveC]

I wish my Century had a red back...
