Roscoe Club

That’s two yearning for that bass.

Can you blame us?

That's my old Roscoe and that's a picture of it at my house. I'd like the bass back.
yeah I downloaded all of the pictures from when you sold it and still have them on my computer. If I would have had the money at the time I would have bought it in a second.

Edit: is that like keeping pictures of your old girlfriend?

That top kind of reminds my of my Bee’s Wing Bubinga SKB fretless that I got from Jim. Is that a Bubinga top?

Speaking of cocobolo… does anyone know the affect a coco top has on Roscoes tone? I have a cocobolo top on one of my Pedullas but much more prefer the tone from another with a maple top. Both have the same maple body and maple board and the same electronics.

How about a nice, growly, tonally even, mix-present Century Custom 5? Exhibition Cocobolo top, Wenge tone plate, Swamp Ash body, Wenge fingerboard, Maple/Purpleheart/Maple neck. Gard era build. Sounds amazing. A favored Roscoe of friends, several of which are FOH guys.
