My wife's comment was "I like his sleeve" when I sent her the pic. I notice the bass, she see's the ink. Oh well.

Update from Gard this morning...

It is having the pickups routed today, will be in finish by tomorrow. Photos soon after!

 

[SteveC]

Body is being oiled today. Neck is in final shaping as well.
Getting close to some pics - and shipping.

 

[SteveC]

Balance paid. Nothing left but...a little more waiting. Fortunately I am at the state music conference this weekend so that'll help kill a few days. With a little luck and quick shipping, I may see this bass next weekend.

Hey Steve, just two more weeks!

Hey Steve, just two more weeks!

I'm hoping for a pic or two today or tomorrow to help hold me over.

[SteveC]

Still no pics. Was hoping to see some soon. Getting very anxious now that I know it's close.

 

[CrashClint]

Not sure if it still works the same but it used to be every request for an update added 1 week to the ship time.

 

[SteveC]

So here is a pic of the top.

I love the contrast between the light maple top and darker mahogany body. Add the darker lined fretless board and we'll have another killer Roscoe. Oh, and black hardware of course.

If you share any more of our secret rules, we will have to drum you out of the club, Clint....

Lets get this thing wired up, strung up and shipped!!

As beautiful as your previous fretless was, I think I'm liking this one a lot more.
Happy for you and your new fretless, Steve.

Love the top. Clean and classy looking...

Me, too. That flamed top was amazing, but I've always had a thing for quilt.

Hoping I may see a complete pic today...checking Roscoe FaceBook page...

I took the chance of adding a week to my shipping date and asked Gard for a pic this afternoon.

 

[SteveC]

From Gard this morning...


They're putting the pickups & preamp in today. The neck is done - as in ready to bolt on to the body and string up. Should have it ready to SHIP today.


Check FaceBook today. Hopefully G072 will be up today.

Steve, I was just joking and is only a rumor I heard years ago from Jome77 so you know you can take it with a grain of salt.

Of course I do.
