HEY TB! Help me find this bubinga Roscoe SKB 3006

Best of luck!

 

Yes. That one went through my collection. I sold it here. It was a very special bass. I don't remember who I sold it to.

 

Looks like you sold it to @Nine-and-three-Quarters.

 

Describe the tone. Those skinny soap bars sound good, but I have not seen them that close together before.

 

The PUs are described as Jazz but are actually hum canceling. That bass had a little more growl than the usual Roscoe, however, that top was probably a contributor to the tone. That is a thick top.

 

Im at the same point with another Roscoe.
Couple of years ago somebody had a Green SKB 5er with aaaa quilted maple top and an ebony fb for sale.. i just didnt have the steam to pull the trigger. If i ever see that thing for sale anywhere its mine.

 

If I were the owner, I don’t think this would rub me the right way.

 

I hear you, but if the OP makes a money is no object offer it could rub him the right way.

 

That's putting it mildly. Never thought about having somebody come after me with regards to gear I own as a possible ramification of selling or buying anything on here, but I sure as hell won't now.

 

I didn't take the OP's intent as hunting the person down to pressure them into anything. If so, I would find it offensive as well. As described, I think he has seller's remorse and wants to take a shot at buying it back. There's this potential anywhere you want to sell directly, if you are uncomfortable then don't sell directly.

If it is against TB rules, then of course it should be moderated out.

 

You do realize how thin-skinned that sounds?

I just think would be weird for a seller to give out my information to anyone after a transaction has been completed.

 

OP, It's a beautiful bass. I hope you'll be able to track it down again. I wouldn't mind owning it myself.

 

not sure how thread has been taken any other way, seems simple , you are looking for a bass
and looking for help....good luck !!!

 

There’s always asking Keith to come close in replicating it.
It certainly couldn’t have hurt to post here within reason because one of us may have seen it yesterday hanging for sale.
The present owner might be thinking of selling.
I hope we find and meet the loves of our lives like this. Bass or Mate.
I purchased a Roscoe from a wonderful seller. Eons ago. He PM’d me recently to let me know that if and when I do sell it he’d like to be first in line. We are a community and look out for each other.
COVID’s side effects make us crabby. It’s something I tell myself regularly.

 

FYI Keith has a superb piece of waterfall bubinga that he is currently building with. I just finalized my SKB Signature build params this morning.
