Roscoe Club

One up? Don't really think of it like that. Your SKB is stunning. Enjoy seeing all of the thematic variations, and imagining how they sound.

It's more about appreciating differences in these Roscoe objets d'art, and learning about the spectrum of body styles, series types, vintages, and wood, hardware, electronics, and finish types.
I was just joking- they're all pretty nice, and as long as it works for you, I don't think there's a "better" instrument... but some do cost more
 
Some sad news and I need to let these three Roscoe basses go to the first three TB'ers who responds to this post. :bawl:

I usually don't play April Fool pranks because they can be cruel and sometimes misleading, but when I do I like to include Roscoe basses! :thumbsup:

But..but...I donated all of my basses to the Homeless Possums Foundation in anticipation of the incoming Buckeye Roscoe. Now not only am I bassless, but the possums are still homeless :(

I knew this had to be an April Fools joke ............ By the way, nice touch in placing the flowers behind the basses and having the bass necks strategically placed between each flower arrangement. You must be a master gardener too. :snaphappy::snaphappy::snaphappy:
 
OK, carved tops it is........... Here's the eye candy.

Custom Century. Walnut top, Wenge shim, Mahogany body and Wenge fingerboard. My main squeeze.

Love this little touch

Da' Roscoe Flagship. Spent a lot of time as the banner on the Roscoe homepage. One piece Bubinga top, Ash body and Wenge wedge neck. Homemade matching knobs.

Signature Century. Amboyna top, Maple shim, Ash body with a Wenge wedge neck.

:laugh: The flower arrangement was totally by accident!! I never gave them a second thought for this photo shoot, although I did plant them.

The April Fool was on purpose! :D
