Pics of my Roscoe

I'm learning how to upload pictures so here we go...

If it works, it's a SKB-3006 with a Box Elder Burl top and a Spalted Purpleheart fretboard, Swamp Ash Body.

 

OK, OK, More pics. Thanks for the nice comments too. BTW, how do I post a pic so that it will show up automaticly without you guys having to click on it?

Here's the story:
I've been saving for a great bass for about a year. I looked at and liked Modulus, Zon, Lakland, Elrick, only one Sadowsky (briefly), and Pedulla. I loved the Roscoes, Foderas, and MTDs. After playing the MTDs and Roscoes A/B, I decided on Roscoes or Foderas. I found very little difference between the feel and sound of the Foderas and the Roscoes, but there was a significant price difference. So I picked the Roscoe.

I bought it two and a half months ago (but just bought a digital camera- sorry for the waite), but I was going to just put a down payment on a custom SKB-3006. But the more I played it, the more I liked the way it played and sounded. So I brought it home with me.

Overall, I can't say enough about Bass Central. I was able to try out all the basses I mentioned above, not to mention other basses I either didn't like or was not interested in. I never felt that I was being pressured into buying any one bass at any time. Don't get me wrong, Evil Gard would like to seduce you into buying the entire inventory. Gard, Grasshopper, and Beaver were great with all my questions and my confusion as to what to buy and why.

To answer questions: It's a SKB-3006 with a 35" scale, Swamp Ash body, Box Elder Burl top which is about 50% of the width of the entire body, Maple/Purpleheart/Maple bolt on neck with a Spalted Purpleheart fingerboard, Bartolini pickups and preamp.

 

Sorry that previous post was so long, but I had to give BC good reviews. Besides, after two months, I'm still excited about it to tell the story again. Here's the neck:

 

I think I compressed the pics a little too much. It's hard to see some of the tight burls and marblized wood.

Coinsidently, I'm going on vacation at the end of this month in North Carolina. I've e-mailed Keith Roscoe, and he was nice enough to invite me to visit his shop. Looking forward to it. Maybe I'll take pictures for the newsletter for Paul. "A Visit to Roscoe Guitars by a Talkbasser" I think I need to go to bed now.
