This is a really nice Roscoe bass with killer wood combinations. This has one of the growliest tones I've played. The mahohany body and Wenge Fretboard is a great combination with those Bart Pickups. B string is an absolute cannon. This is my first LG so that will take some getting used to but it sure plays and sounds really nice.

It is Tigerwood.

Cool! And he just won the Masters!:hyper:

Looks a lot like Koa .....

Brazilian Koa/Tigerwood is truly, a naturally remarkable hardwood species. ... But some of the other species, even though they may have the same or similar appearance to Brazilian Koa, don't hold the same Janka rating, and are a bit softer.

That's what I was thinking to when I first seen it but it's Tigerwood according to the COA.

Figured Walnut is one of my favorites. Nice grain pattern on that one. Congrats!

I absolutely love this Roscoe bass as I played it with our band practice at church. It cuts effortlessly and the tone is to die for. I really like the Mahogany and Wenge with these Bart’s. I thought I would Change the Aguilar Preamp our to a BART but I’m not touching it. Best sounding bass I’ve used since becoming bass player for them in the past year.
