Ya, I think it's a burl/flame maple top too. I am not sure about the back. It could be either mahogany or spanish cedar, but probably not alder or swamp ash.

I sold it to a guy in Orlando back in March of '24. I don't believe he's a TB guy - at least he wasn't at the time.
My shoulder finally healed up and I got a chance to gig the new solid ash Roscoe out. The wenge wedge neck coupled with the solid ash body certainly produced some serious growl!
He’s a couple videos from that service. I tuned the low B down to Bb for Nailed Scarred Hands. It’s got some serious lows!

Great to see you back and at it.
Nice job on these!

Excellent, in every way!

Played for hockey (UND v ASU) at “The Ralph” this weekend. Classic P on Friday. Century 5 on Saturday. 
I've really been loving the P bass the last year or so. But when I play my Century 5, I remember why it's the bass that has lasted the longest in my possession - over 13 years now. I played all kinds of fills and such on Saturday that cause our singer to give me multiple looks of "what was that" and "nice". That bass is just inspiring to play. I hardly think when I play it. The "plays itself" comment is much used, but, in this case, I don't know what else to say. There's a nice LG3000 on Reverb that I'd love to have, but I just can't justify it right now. I liked the one I tried a while ago, but I wasn't really playing much 4 string at that time. I do play a lot of 4 these days, but the new freezer, tires for the car, things like that, as well as the overall uncertainty these days makes a $2K purchase a little tough.
My playing situation has changed recently to CCW music (but not as part of a church P&W team) and as I go through the stable looking for the right instrument(s), I continue to land on the Roscoes and the Warwick Corvette $$ (which surprised me). The Century 5 J/MM with EB Cobalt Flats in particular seems to slot quite well with a lot of the songs. That Warwick growl fits pretty nicely too though…
I am looking to order a Roscoe. Can you recommend a dealer to go through or can I order direct from Roscoe?
I would talk with Donovan at Fret Spot, for sure. He has a nice relationship and possible streamlined pipeline to the brand : )
Meanwhile, it's always great to talk with Keith Roscoe : ) : )

Thanks for the recommendation! I contacted Donovan and he's getting a quote for me.

I think I’m going to sell my fretless…again. I just don’t use it. Is anyone interested before I start listing it? $2,300 shipped in Roscoe gig bag.

Idk. I had a little extra money. I talked myself into it after listening to everyone’s great clips. I just don’t use it.
Man do I wish Roscoe would move toward a 34” scale. I’m always surprised by companies that are sticking to 35”…..would be great if they put out batches of 34”
