So who was it collecting information on 7 string LG's? This might be the same one that was already mentioned a while back though.

For Sale - Roscoe LG 3007 yes "LG"

Happy to help. Now if only i could afford my own build.

Well I said some things wouldn't change, but some of them did. I have made it official though and here are the specs I'm going with:

• Century Standard 5HL
• Mahogany body
• Maple fretboard
• Bartolini pickups "reverse/Haslip slant"
  
• Pope Flexcore preamp (I'm supplying this)
  
• Black hardware

Headless should be pretty cool!

Yeah, that would be me, and that's the one and only LG 7 in the US. Thanks for the info, sometimes I miss one. 789string certainly lives up to his name by the number of strings on his basses, but he's been selling off his Roscoe's for a while now. He's owned the most unique collection of Roscoe's on the planet. I think they should be remembered here in the Roscoe Club, so here they are, and thanks to 789string for pushing the limit...

Thats a lot of strings right there.

Looks like a scaled down version of an aircraft carrier flight deck! LOL

We landed an F/A-18 on it as part of the QC process. Quite successful, actually.

Jimmy Haslip would argue that point.

Jimmy Haslip would argue that point.

Are you sure? I'm really interested. It makes sense Jimmy would have an LG 7, but Gard thought 789string's was the only one until I showed him a photo of a purple one in Japan. Could that have been a shot of Jimmy's ?

Nah, now that I think of it that was a right handed LG. I've seen him with SKB 7 strings though. Here's a nice pic ...

Jimmy Haslip would argue that point.

Jimmy's 7 is an SKB body, not an LG body.

Well there you go - I've done it again.

Ready, fire, aim. Carry on.

Like you're the only one guilty of that? Ever?

Jimmy's 7 is an SKB body...

Zowie - I have _one_ thing in common with Jimmy Haslip !
They're actually pretty darned similar in body and fretboard color too - mine has gold hardware, and then there's that mirror-image thing...

Here's a vid of Jimmy on his Roscoe SKB 7 String

I'd like to become a member of the Roscoe Club. Below is my current bass, my Roscoe 3006 is shipping!

Hey Gard,

Hows my bass coming along?

Its the lefty Myrtle 6...

 

[Gard]

Nightman, we don't have member numbers or anything, but welcome to the family!!!!

Jactoml, the body was glued up last week, we will probably be cutting it out of the blank in the next week or so. The neck is having the fingerboard glued right now, and once the entire batch of necks (about 50) have been glued, they will be cut. Our goal right now is to ship a batch of basses to your dealer in March or early April.

Cool, thanks Gard.

Can't wait! ☺

 

[Nightman]

Thanks, Gard! I'll just give myself a cool number like 3005!
