Roscoe Club

[Jesuguru]

I must be a cold heart'd person .... I've never had the desire to want to buy back any bass that I've sold. And I have sold basses that I said I wouldn't sell!!
Is it just me?

Not coldhearted, more that you perhaps recognize there are plenty more bass in the sea (seabass?). I impulse-buy, but seldom impulse-sell, making sure I have good reason(s) to remind myself of after the sale. Like my first (and best-sounding) mid-1990's Roscoe a few years ago, only sold because it had a slight twist in the neck (repairable). Life's too short to look back with regret, and ultimately instruments are just tools to use, not significant others to get attached to/jealous over.

Yeah, it's just you!

Thanks, @Jesuguru, for that!! I was beginning to think there was something wrong with my very warm and compassionate heart, and I really like seabass, too!!

@JOME77... I don't know what to say! But do tell us what the 2012 SBK 3006 sounds like when it arrives!! LOL

It’s most definitely just you @Nightman

We could start our own club, "Coldhearted satisfied bassists, yet seeking" (Cosbys). What could go wrong?

 

[Nightman]

Cosbys Club? Give me club #2, please!

Not to bring the mood down, but I think a Cosby club might have a different connotation these days... and not a good one

It's good, Joe, but it's not the same as the cartoon. Needs work!

Nice collection! As my youngest daughter always tells me, “go big or go home”! Welcome back (with a vengeance!).

Yes you got my Century but I still have the sarape! When I lived in California my girlfriend Isabel was from Mexico and she gave me the sarape.

I am down to only one Roscoe....my Century 3006 FL.

A Roscoe Trilogy is a good thing!!!

A Roscoe Trilogy is a good thing!!!

It works for me.
5 - 6 - 7. The 6 is fretless. All SKB's.

 

[SteveC]

I’d love a Roscoe trio but...I only need one. A fretless 5 and a classic P would probably be my 3 of choice.

You keep telling yourself that and one day you just might believe it lol.

I’ve been doing pretty good the last couple years. Really focused on getting out of debt - except house and vehicles. It isn’t very fun but it is the more responsible adult thing I guess.

I actually am pretty happy with my one Roscoe. I’m kind of looking at Martin - and other - acoustics as I teach guitar at my high school these days.
