Yeah, boy! Koa-Topped & Wenge-Wedge-Necked Century Signature brothers of the world unite!
What are you doing for a fretboard on yours?

Great minds think alike!! And I'm no longer a woman, so you can stop wondering!
Man I'd love to have both basses in the same room (say at the GTG) so we can hear the differences in the electronics. With both basses being so similar, that's about as good an A/B as you can do.
Come on Joe Barden!! Don't let me down!!

...so, the surgery was successful.
The addadicktome was 100% succesful!! Clear thoughts, decisive action, I don't care if these pants make me look fat, I can drive... it's been amazing.
Excellent.

But you'll never win an argument again........
Well, everything has pros and cons, eh? On balance, I'm cool with it.
Where's my bass? Where's my bass? WHERE'S MY BASS?!?!
Man, I'm climbing the walls today for some reason. Got a couple nibbles on my Alembic, which means the Roscoe is not only spec'd out, it's almost paid for, too...
Heck, I'm already moving on to my next Roscoe... I've never owned a fretless, surely that situation needs to be remedied? Bye-bye Warwick Thumb NT if that happens
Breathe in, breathe out...

Mmmm. Roscoe & fretless go together like hot dogs & apple pie (or sushi & beer...toe-MAY-toe, toe-MAH-toe). I've told this story before, but... The most amazing sounding fretless I ever played/owned was a Zon Sonus Special/Custom. (Legacy Elite electronics with the neck pup in the sweet spot. Wicked.) Until I played my Roscoe. I'd sworn off 35" six-string fretlesseseseses because I couldn't play 'em in tune. But when I tried this one, I remembered...heck, I can't play any fretless in tune. My SKB sounds as amazing as it looks... What's that? A pic, you say? Oh, okay.
So, Greg, I'm just here to help (spend your $$). Keep breathing, brother!

Hubba-hubba... that's a sweet one, Jerry. I LOVE me some burl maple, as we say in SW VA.
Of course, I've never owned a 6-string, either... hmmm...

I know the feeling!
Should be any day now, eh? And you'll be in blue Roscoe LG heaven!
Same as you are....I'm beginnin' to wonder about you two...
Shifting the balance of koa Roscoes, one bass at a time.....
I asked Roger at THG Knobs to make me a set of matching knobs for my Roscoe. I think they turned out killa-dilla!! Roger's a super dude, and his prices are very reasonable.
These were made from some scraps cut from my body (non-humping ones, thank goodness!!), so they should match quite nicely when all is said and done.
Imagine those knobs on this:
I've soiled me armor!!!!

Just wow. Those are going to look incredible, Greg!
I've been meaning to switch to stainless armor...I guess I better do so before you post pics of the completed instrument.
