Did someone say quiet? How about some Roscoes:

The P/J just came back to me from a visit to the Roscoe shop. They refinished it (was natural, now amber with some shading) and routed for the soapbar bridge pickup rather than the J shape. It got the PLEK treatment and a setup while it was there of course and it is awesome. It was already the best bass I've ever played (really!) but it's even better now. Perfect.

That finish is stunning on that P bass now and looks much better. I bet that Boig Single is a big improvement over the old one.

Well, as long as we're showing keepers, here's mine. Just seems to keep getting better.

Something about Walnut!!!

JohnnyR that walnut is AMAZING. The 12th fret marker is stunningly cool too! That said, there's something about this that's calling me...

This would be so perfect for my party/dance cover band - Paint The Town...

The charcoal one comes to me by way of many TBers. I've followed it around and finally got the chance to own it. It's as beautiful in person as in the photos. I have plans for new electronics - custom MM/JJ pickups in dual MM shells that will cover the current pickup positions. The MM coils will fall right on the sweet spot and the J coils will be roughly 60s spacing, but with the bridge in the 70s spot (so the neck will be a little towards the bridge, close to the regular Roscoe neck position). I'm pretty excited for it to come together!

Everyone should have one!

Probably the only headless bass that I like the look of in a long time. Steinberger and Status are ok but I think this is a better interpretation.

Hadn't seen this before.

Great stuff.

Mr. Crawford on the bass.

Hope this works.

 

[LousCornerDeli]

Another one new to me.

We all know who the bassist is.

 

[Dave Siff]

I saw Gard over the weekend. He's doing good. He loves you all.

Thanks for sharing these. Crawford is a monster on bass. grat tone too.
I got the privilege to see Holdsworth once in Atlanta. What an awesome player.

Does anyone have a Roscoe on order? I ordered in Januarÿ and I am very concerned. Any info would be appreciated.

No reason for concern, just check with your dealer or Roscoe for a progress report.

I have been checking for the last 2 Months and not very happy. I was just curious if anyone else has a direct order with Roscoe?

Roscoe wouldn't let me do a direct order; although I communicated directly with Roscoe, my order transaction went through a retailer.

 

[dykesh]

I was told the exact opposite.

 

[SteveC]

Roscoe doesn’t do direct orders. Everything runs through a dealer...at least that’s how it has been for a while.

 

[dykesh]

Just for informations sake, Keith told me to do a direct order in January which I did.

These are the types of posts that make me sad that Gard is no longer with Roscoe. There is no longer anyone here from the factory to provide this type of info.

Hmm. Must be a change from the past.

Steve, they are doing direct orders now. I talked to another player that has 2 in the queue.
