Well...I went half-way. I got the pink top down, but only an absolute NUT would add a pink fingerboard to a bass with a pink top!


Speaking of which...I think JOME77's next build should be a SKB3005 with pink ivory top, pink ivory fingerboard, and...for that matter...slap some of those pink DR strings on there as well. Done and DONE!

With chrome hardware.

I really like the DCB pickups. I have them with an OBP-2 in a Century I just picked up and it sounds incredible. The only thing is it has 19 mm spacing so it's in the classifieds in the hope of trading for a Century with regular spacing (or FS)

Real men can play totally pink basses!

...........but the chrome hardware is just totally asking too much!

Hi,

Just joining with my first LG 3005. I believe it came from this forum through Basschat to me. Standard 18.3 spacing, 35''.

I could totally get along with it. What I can't do is go back and forth with my other Century with 18.3 mm spacing and if one has to go it makes more sense to go this way.

Those are some purdy Century's but that big blonde SKB 6 with the maple board is calling to me.... that is dead sexy!

… hey, just messing with you I made the other way choice, no basses other then 19mm…. as always, whatever works.. it's right!

Yes, it's sweet. Spanish Cedar body with a really active Maple top (quilting and water drops). It's just over 18 months old and has seen shamefully little play time (The Century body shape is just a little more comfortable for me).

Here's a little better pic that shows a Diamondwood ramp that the magicians in Roscoeland did for it.

I disagree, 14mm is the way!!!!

I use picks bigger than 14mm

Sweet looking Roscoe's Johnny! All 3 are beautiful!

....... I'd say you have the 3rd, 4th & 5th best Roscoe's in the Middle Ga area!

We might have debated the ranking a little earlier, but the mailman left me a box from Roger today. Just finished installing up-town knobs on the Walnut Custom AND the Amboyna Signature.

Sorry JOME,

 

[JohnnyR]

I did try to take some better pics, but only had marginal success (I'm no photographer). Anyway, here are a couple better snapshots

 

[JOME77]

Very nice Johnny. Roger (THG) does such a nice job matching the tops on basses!

They look totally complete now!

 

[JOME77]

And just so you remember what mine look like JR ......
