Sweet merciful crap!

Maybe it's just me, but it seems like there are a lot of people who are all about Dingwall, who are also all about Roscoe. I'd fall into that category, but i gotta say, in my world Roscoe wins because they are AS good, and I can play high up on the neck...
Btw, that trans green is amazing!

Dang. Whoever took those photos is pretty good.
(...I have to give all the credit to Pacman, VroomVroom, and Greg from Rocket Music for all the clues and suggestions - I'm actually starting to get OK at this stuff!)
Also, yeah, I get it - these are THE Roscoes, but man, those Classics are some kind of sexy, in a whole different light...I just posted pics of a sick Classic Custom on the FB page yesterday that made me think some very naughty thoughts....
Sorry, that one was a special order for a customer of mine, so it's already been sold.
We can always order another one just like it! LOL
Fair warning - that one was a signature, so it was a bit pricey. Just north of $6K.
I really liked that pickup combination on my Lakland basses. I almost pulled the trigger on a Roscoe with that combination.
That was a special order for a Rocket Music customer here in Greensboro. We could definitely repeat it quickly if you were interested!
They can, but the last couple weeks feels like forever.That was a special order for a Rocket Music customer here in Greensboro. We could definitely repeat it quickly if you were interested!

Hey now, keep it up, and you go on the "special list"!

I Play Bass therefore I Am
I think I got put on the Special List and it was all Jome77's fault.
Yeah, my LG3005 and SKB3005 haven't been out of the gig bag since the Classic Custom JJ4 arrived. Hey, share your thoughts on the Honey Badger pickups or send me an Email with your thoughts.

No, you earned your place on the list all on your own.
Quick hit - I've only spent a few minutes with the set in question (5J Split), and was impressed with the tone. Very punchy, warm, clear, and went from fat on the neck to slice & dice on the bridge. Worth the bump in cost (they're going to add about $100 to the cost of the bass, still working on details).
Any plans to make a classic on a P-Bass body platform? @Gard ?
I wouldn't know anything about this, but great question! No doubt there is a market for this, right everyone?

Happily trending in my own peculiar direction.

Gaahhhhh.....didn't finish editing that one before posting....Crash, if you have a minute to go pull the revised photos and swap 'em, I'd give you consideration for being taken off "the list".

Short answer: yup.
Longer answer: when is not set yet, but it will happen.
