Sorry for not replying earlier, just busy at work. My inspiration for ordering this neck goes back to owning an Elrick with a completely wenge neck. I don't claim to be an expert at describing the tone of woods, but if pressed, I'd say it's similar to maple with a bit more growl. And the combo of the porous wood and Keith's magic sauce makes the neck extremely smooth. Ed, I salute your bravery. You will be rewarded!That sound like Gary's (Freddie.G) Roscoe! It is an awesome look, for sure. His is a stunning bass!

Some nice looking Roscoe picks the last couple days…
I tried to post them on my phone but it didn’t work, and i forgot to try and figure it out.
Also looks like Shane’s new Roscoe is almost done, and he’s looking for a jazz configured one, so they’ll probably be some “best bass I ever played/mastergrade” Roscoes up for sale soon

I noticed that too. Didn't he order that just 3 or 4 months ago? It's looking like being Roscoe's "#1 customer" has its advantages.I tried to post them on my phone but it didn’t work, and i forgot to try and figure it out.

I probably shouldn't post this, because I really don't like spreading negativity -- but to be honest, I'm a little salty about it, considering I'm about 14 months in and haven't seen any evidence that a neck has been built for mine yet.
Nightman,
I should have the listing up over the weekend.
bolo.
Just listed this Century Standard 5 in the classifieds.
For Sale - Roscoe Century Standard Plus 5 string Refurbished by Keith and team
A very gorgeous Roscoe! Keith did an excellent job on that one. I’m pretty much strictly a 18-18.3mm strings spacing, 5’er player kinda fella.
Will these bitter cold temps forecasted for next week put shipping your bass on hold?
Hmmm… J/MM, 19mm. That’s right up my alley. That’s the only configuration I don’t have. But I must stay on track with the 16 mo wait for my current build.
I was aware of the potential fallout when I posted that statement.
It would be easier to be patient if the bass was complete and in my basement.
We just love messing with you Steve.
Think of it this way, guys are waiting 12-16 months for new basses. You’re getting what will feel like a new bass in 3-4 months (plus or minus a couple weeks).
Oh, I know. I feel for those waiting for a new bass. And for as long as it’s been since I’ve played/held this bass, it will seem like new.We just love messing with you Steve.

Roscoe LG5 fretless sounded wonderful today!!!!
That answers the question of if you still have that Fodera…
And I always love that Roscoe cobalt blue too…
