I just put this killer Invalid Link Removed on reserve at Roscoe HQ. If you've been considering a custom order and this top strikes your fancy... then please PM me!

Thanks, Gard!
 
I do indeed! The top is still at Roscoe's shop, waiting to become Invalid Link Removed.

Most of those specs can be changed since the bass is not scheduled for production for quite some time. Worst case, the top may have been glued to the ash back already.

Let me know what sort of specs you have in mind, and I can draw up a quote. In the meantime, I'll check with Gard to see where this one stands.

Hey, Gard - where does this one stand? S/N 6038. Thanks!!

I love having a forum here on TalkBass right next to Roscoe's forum :)
 
By the way, here's the bass body that inspired this pending Roscoe order:

I sent that pic to Gard and asked him to find me a similar top (flamed, spalted & with a bit of curve to it). He got really close, eh? The coloring is reversed on the Roscoe top (the dark wood is in the middle of the Roscoe Top rather than at the edge like the Sadowsky), but I think the sunburst effect would still be waaaaay cool with the Roscoe top.

Or we can scrap that idea and do whatever you like, ArgyleSocker. Gard says the top is a blank slate, so please PM me some rough spec ideas if you'd like to get started.
 
Oooooops - through an unfortunate oversight, this top was accidentally reserved twice... and I was #2, so I lose. This top will be headed to Roscoe's UK dealer in a few months.

Gard is on the case looking for a replacement for me!

...a polite way of saying "Gard has a terminal case of CRS!"

:hiding:

....we've got quite a few good candidates for this type of top, Greg....
