but I can feel an onset of GAS for the Mesa Prodigy Four:88. I've never had an all-tube head to play through, and that particular head seems like a good choice in power/weight ratio
It's awesome. I was looking for an all tube head that I'd be okay lugging around all the time (small form factor and lightweight). It also needed to sound awesome. This thing does them both in spades.
I still have my 400+ and I'd love to get another SVT one of these days, but for a practical gigging machine the Prodigy is killer.
Today at work I got some pictures before we started boarding.

Does this qualify for your "club"?!
"Just curious...what is everyone using for a rig with their Roscoe?"

So Joel, why a headless bass?
Because it fits behind my seat in the cockpit. Simple as that.
Hey Guys, I'm looking into a Century Standard 5..what is the neck shape like on these? Wide and flat, or more thick and round? How does the shape compare to a Stingray 5 or Lakland 5501/02?
Wide and flat. Just like a Lakland DJ5, which is similar to a Sterling 5
Thanks! Well I was hoping more for fat and round but I still may check it out. Is there a Roscoe model that has a rounder, fatter neck?
Calling Chuck Moses.... a better family pic fitting of such a handsome bunch.
