I would say that was Databass5 about to poach a Roscoe but I think he only plays Brubaker's now.

Poachdog reference!!!

Poor Kevin, he knows not what he has gotten himself into....

I was surprised to hear he switched to Brubaker as I have never played one that came close to a Roscoe.

Kevin makes great stuff, for sure, and if it fits someone better than our stuff, then good for both Kevin and for the player using it. It's not about "better" or "worse" at this level - all of the builders are fantastic - it's about "different" and "right for me as a player".

The 3-piece maple neck is an option for a Custom, not vice versa however, and no, you cannot order a standard with a solid maple body

Not yet anyway!

As the Doobies once said "What Were Once Vices Are Now Habits" ....... or the Roscoe translation: "What Were Once Not Options are Now Options".

I love Black Hardware!!!

1 piece walnut body, wenge neck, wenge board. Bart electronics . Yoda.

A solid maple body with a standard neck?

I think the maple necks are truer to the note. IMHP.

That walnut is absolutely beautiful!

That one piece walnut body is totally off the charts!!!

It's gorgeous. Is it a bit on the heavy side with a warm but focused tone?

Not heavy at all. 8 lbs and some change. Most versatile bass I have!

Ask Gard?, that would be like asking a B movie porn star if her stuff is clean.

Very cool. I had a bass built and asked about a walnut body but was told it would make the bass heavy. Is the warm and focused tone accurate? Nice growl when you dig in?

Walnut basses , I have 4. 2 Roscoes and 2 MTDs. The one in the photos is the lightest but none are uncomfortable!Focus but not warm. But not harsh either! I'm not good at describing tone. My maple top walnut body with Aguilar DCBs and OPB 3 pre is a little more aggressive but it's really funky. Walnut works if you want some edge. And it's clear as a bell!

Good things happening at Roscoe HQ.

That walnut/wenge bass is killer! I've never heard a combination of punch, focus and depth like that one.
