New Roscoe in progress

Is that curled redwood? Man that is a sweet top!!!!

 

Nice I would go Demeter if you want a more modern tone , more defined. Bart if you want a more mellow all around tone.

I plan on getting an lg3005 (i have a thread about it on the first page still) and i plan on going Demeter.

 

Nope, bubinga! It's cut from the same "stock" as the one that Halftooth will be getting next week (it actually shipped out today).



For the record, Stachio's getting an SKB 3006, fretless diamondwood.

 

Man, I thought that piece looked familier!

 

I saw your bass the other day at the shop. It looks incredible.

 

(Behold, the power of the Dark Side....)

Yeah, it is...

...up for some disc golf again yet? Or, is it too damn cold this weekend for you too???



(Frost???? On my car??? Hey, I'm from Florida, we don't HAVE frost!!! )

 

Thanks a lot! I can't wait to get it next week and sit down to play it. I'm hoping it even sounds better than it looks.

 

Very Nice , i hope the wait isint to long for you.

 

Congrats on the new Roscoe, Stachio!!! It looks like we have another winner on our hands, and I'm sure that you're psyched about joining the Roscoeheads....we'll talk about what you can expect from the boys during your initiation! Definatley keep us posted with updated photos on this one.

 

Remember: You don't have to own a Roscoe to be a Roscoehead. You just have to love them. Welcome Stachio already.

 

Hey. Was that a Spanish Cedar body wood. It didn't look like Swamp Ash to me, but I really don't know what Spanish Cedar looks like.

As far as Demeter/ Bartolini preamps: I had a Bart in my fretted SKB-3006 and eventually switched it for the Demeter. I find that it is more well defined, it is a bit brighter, but it's not too bright. It cuts through the mix better too. I'm sold on the Demeter. The only issue I have with it is that the sound of the Demeter switch is so similar in both positions, that I find it difficult to hear a difference. I still switch it back and forth depending on the song, but it doesn't seem to make a difference to my ear. The lack of a significant difference between the two positions doesn't bother me because I love the way it sounds.

I don't know anything about the Aguilar Preamp. Have fun! It's beautiful so far. You've also picked the right fingerboard for your fretless. Diamondwood is great!

 

Doc, that is definitely a swamp ash body. Spanish cedar will be more tan in color when unfinished, similar to mahogany.

And Stachio, Bob's right, the Roscoehead newsgroup is open to all, c'mon in!

Roscoeheads

 

Thanks for the link Gard. I've been meaning to join the Roscoehead Yahoo group since it opened. Considering I coined the term, I guess I should join.

 

Nice. Now what you should do is call Tripster and get one of the new Glockenklang pre's to put in it. Forget the demeter and barts!

 

Amazing looking piece. Love the fret board, too! Congrats!

 

Cute kids. Love the alian picture too.

Oh, the bass is amazing BTW. Everything about it is just gorgeous!

Now have Keith route out the entire back of the bass to put in the Bartocanoli, Dumeter, Christina Aguilara, Glockenshlocken preamps with a four way switch! Yeah. That's the ticket.

Seriously. That's going to be one of the coolest basses I've ever seen.
