It's like a warmer sounding maple. Really nice fingerboard wood.

wiw!….didn’t expect that given it’s crazy hardness.
I had a tulipwood board many years ago on a bass. The builder described it as that, and I would agree.
I had a Roscoe SKB-3005 with a Spanish cedar body with tulipwood fingerboard and it was the best sounding Spanish cedar Roscoe that I owned. I thought it sounded very much like straight line maple. Lots of snap.
Gig report…. One of the nicer clubs we play in Richmond. Always a good gig.
The board isn’t too shabby either. Pair of BassRigs, Cali, Khan…no excuses there.
I was fairly content with all my gear until I started following this Roscoe thread

I guess I am a dinosaur. I use a bass, a cable and an amp.
Scott always has nice basses.
I’m a Dino too Chuck but after multiple back surgeries the ampless/in ear route is what keeps me still playing. The majority of what you see on that board is to process a great clean tone as well as power, DI, tuner and in ear system. Only three “effects” pedals on the board. You don’t need all that to make a Roscoe sound good, but I like toys.

I was totally set on exhibition quilt until I got shown this a few days ago! Keith always with the goods 
What kind of finish are you thinking?I was totally set on exhibition quilt until I got shown this a few days ago! Keith always with the goods
I’m trying to have them emulate this PRS body, taped off ‘binding’ and all:
Edit: On an LG 6 Signature. Let’s see how close they get. Keith seems confident
