Although I’ve listened to myself play for almost 30 years (off and on) and I still haven’t heard any talent, so...
Same here!

With the song selections for service yesterday, I was able to play my modded Spanish Cedar Roscoe 5'er fretless!
I don't always get the opportunity to play a fretless in service, but when I do I play Roscoe!

Hey all--
Possibly weird request, but there was a 5 or 6 (I think it was a 6er) string for sale in the classifieds here within the past few years that I fell in love with but didn't pull the trigger.
I believe it had a very cream-heavy buckeye top with matching headstock, likely maple board, pup covers, and was around 3000-3200.
I believe it was for sale in 2016/early 2017. I had a custom being built for me at the time and was debating trying to sell/cancel it to grab it, but it got snatched up before I could do anything.
Anyone have any ideas?

I remember talking to that guy about that bass. It was a early 2000’s model and the guy was pretty much stuck on a price that was way. Ore than it cost new. Very nice bass but not even close to what he was asking. Looks as if he sold it though so what do I Know lol.

I found that one, but I thought there was another one with lower price and more cream on its top
Oh, I think I know. That could be those special edition basses. It's a Holly (how appropriate for the season) top that was made for and sold only by a certain shop and I can't remember the shop. Kind of like the buckeye burl Rocket Music Limited Edition basses. I think it was a store in England maybe?

Man! Nice spalted top.
That one's got lots of switches for sure! I guess that he'd rather switch than fight!
P.S. If you don't get that one than you're just to young!
hint, hint ......
Well it had a creamy look to it.
Well then how about this one ..... It's one of the prettier buckeye burl tops that I've seen (Rocket Music Special run).

I actually really liked those Roscket Music Special Buckeye Burl basses. That was probably my favorite as I tried buying a couple different times lol.

OOooooh that is gorgeous.
Maybe I'm just imagining it, but I thought it had a buckeye or holly fretboard -- the whole thing was cream
