Someday! :D In the meantime, keep sending your gorgeous basses
I know Joe has owned that bass you are interested in, but so many have passed through his hands he can’t keep up with them. He has probably forgotten about this one.

Right now all my dreams are being satisfied by this one .... :thumbsup:

Hard to beat a Roscoe with a Wenge Wedge neck!

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?

I believe the holly topped limited editions were made for a Colombian store, Bajos Exclusivos. Not only the Century but also LG's and SKB's. They have several video's on their youtube channel.

 
I'll help the 10,000 posts cause and ask this question: Has anyone tried LaBella 760N-B on a fretless Roscoe? I prefer the feel over the TI Jazz Flats and wanted to go with some flats on my Roscoe, but I'm not wanting to file the nut at all.

I'll check in the morning to see who posted the 10,000 post and won that new Roscoe bass!!

I'm liking Ernie Ball Cobalt Flats (also known as Slinky Flats - look for Cobalt on the label) on my fretless Roscoe. They have sets for 4's and 5's - if you have a 6 you'll need a C from some other set. No nut adjustments...

The D'addario Chrome Flats and Ernie Ball Cobalt Flats (those are on my fretless) sound and feel good and don't require any mods to the nut. I've also used TI Jazz flats and they sit properly in the nut.
Can't say that I remember any strings that didn't sit well in the nut (but I also use lights).
