They haven't done a neck-through for a long while...
A photo of the headstock and the upper horn/neck around the 12th fret might help.

Body size & shape.
Century biggest,
SKB next, typically identifiable because the upper horn only reaches to about the 14th fret.
LG smallest.
Much more detail on the Roscoe site, posted earlier...
Do you have a better photo of it? It doesn't look like anything we've built....
....just looked again, very closely, and noticed that it had that odd almost Carl Thompson-esque upper horn, that seals it - it is not a Roscoe. It may have our name on it, but we have never built an instrument with that kind of upper horn that either Keith or I am aware of.
Sorry man.

Very well said Steve, a bunch of us share the same sentiment. Though, I think Databass5 and I are the only ones to ever get kicked out of the shop.
Yeah - hence the confusion - he said he posted the wrong one, and re-posted that one (in a composite).
(Why the wrong photo is still in the thread, I donno, not my post...)
Could anyone help me with an attempt at a model number on this Roscoe??
THIS is what was confusing me - that is definitely not a Roscoe!
The one that is above NOW is indeed an LG 3005 (or more correctly now an LG Custom 5).

How does one get kicked out of the shop?
removed the wrong photo. Sorry. Not used to this group. Don't have any software to crop or photoshop a pic. Posted the only one I could find. Not my bass, just got to play it. Owned by the guy in the pic. Tony.

We suggested Roscoe have a company in China make a sub $1,000 bass similar to the KSD. We both were immediately slapped on the back of the head and kicked out.
Seriously, do you honestly think Keith or Gard would kick anyone out of the shop, I was being facetious.
If you're a Windows guy, IrfanView is free and hard to beat.
For Mac - I donno...
(Actually, for Mac and *nix, Gimp would do. It works on Windows too but if all you want to do is crop a photo, it's overkill...)

As was I.
Ok, I've suffered during all those endless easter holidays BUT tomorrow (cross fingers) the brown truck (that here is white and blue) will hopefully show.
So it's my First Roscoe's Eve.
Seems like a special day, uh?

Sounds fabulous. Know you've been searching for that "one sound" - seems like you found it.
Congrats!!!
