I was unaware of that. Interesting. What do they charge?

Thanks for the info.

Thanks so much. How are the necks font to back? I liked the feel of the mtd neck and how thin it is. I can't seem to find any to try near me even though I'm close to los Angeles.

Most are a nice comfortable C profile. There were a few years where they migrated to more of a D profile but those still felt comfortable to me.

I wonder if anyone else has ever paid for their new build in full then sold it to someone else before it was finished? LOL. I’m sure it’s been done before.

Asking "for a friend"? What's your friend got?

Custom LG 6, ash body, Boxelder top, BEM board and reverse slant Barts ala Jimmy Haslip. Wow sounds really cool when I write it out lol.

Man, if it was blue I'd be all over it. For some reason I've a hankering for a blue bass, maybe cause all my others have natural "coffee-table" tops. No shame in changing your mind mid-build, it happens indeed. Maybe it's not too late for Keith to give it the blues, though blue tends to go better with flame, quilt, or maybe burl tops.

Shane did it once (with a Roscoe) and I’ve seen it done multiple times with other brands.
And I get it. Sometimes builds can take so long that what you wanted months or years ago is no longer relevant.
Or sometimes a used bass becomes available spec’d exactly like what you’re building.

That sounds amazing. I’ve tried a 6 string 3 times but it just never clicked with me (obviously trying 3 times) as much as I wanted it to.

Exactly…. Or you get a gig playing guitar and would rather buy a Rickenbacker 360 and a Fender Deluxe Reverb RI. LOL

If anyone is looking for a Roscoe Classic V in Cadillac Green with Aguilar PJ setup, I might be tempted by a LG5 or SKB5 (maybe a 6 string). Still trying to decide, I have moved back to vintage Fenders for my Jazz and Pbass sound.

Lol
Yeah, and that too! I totally get it.

It's all about our musical journey!

I once saw Reggie Jackson strike out 3 times in a row and then he hit's a game winning home run the forth time up.

Proof that you just never know.

I checked the magnet pattern of the pickups. I'm confused though as these are supposed to be quad coils, which I thought would be two split coils side by side

Roscoe Bart quad coils have 2 parallel coils as you've pictured, just stacked 2 deep.

Okay, that makes sense then. Thanks!

And is this wired correctly then? It looks like only the black wire is connected to anything, according to Bartolini (if I am reading it right ), the green wire should be connected to the sleeve on the jack

Matt. The Green and the shield go together to ground. That can be anywhere in the cavity (as all grounds are common).

Back in the day I sold a bass while it was in transit to me.

I'm not usually a relic'ed kind of guy, but this bass is damn cool IMHO:
