And I'll pay for the BBQ! That BBQ is truly outstanding.I missed the last Warner Robins Georgia GTG. But the next one I'll bring my Roscoe Classic #004 and my new build that Keith is starting on.

You know I'm an Ash guy. (dont' take that wrong). My new build is all ash. How about some close ups?
Thanks, Joe for that pic of the Custom Signature neck. That might be Keith Roscoe's best work ever.
It's a $400 option that I'm gladly paying for in my new build.

OK, I need to take a step back and tell all you new guys that you don't have to buy the Custom Signature neck to get the Roscoe sound. I bought my first Roscoe back in '92. And it's still the best bass I ever played.
Edit: I was playing a gig at Underground Atlanta in the mid 90s. It was February and snowing heavily. We weren't going home that night. But we had a good crowd. And a dude came up to me and told me I had the best bass sound he's ever heard. I knew that too. Those Bart/Bart electronics were the bomb. That was my first Roscoe. 4 string.

Take a look at my profile. I've played a few basses. Dingwall, Tobias, Jerzy Drodz. I'm coming back home.
I love you boys. You know what I've learned after all these years? Save your money. Buy a used Roscoe.
So this is happening....more to follow...
When it comes time for me to get a Roscoe, that is my plan. All the ones I really like seem to hover +/- the $2000 mark. For that exceptional price, my plan will be to: 1) contact Keith as I've been following their Facebook page for awhile and I notice they Plek/restore instruments quite often, 2) When I buy, I'll instruct the seller to ship it to Roscoe, and 3) Keith will bring it up to the specs it left his shop and he'll ship directly to me.I love you boys.

Congrats, Matt! Bart single coils? That must sound incredible! So so beautiful!
Is that a maple tone block? Pretty cool...
Yup, the center block of the body is solid flamed maple with ash wings and topped with flamed maple as well.
The pickups are the Bart "J" style hum buckers with the Bart preamp.
These pics are fresh from Roscoe. It should ship with its fretted partner (pics pending) on Wednesday.
I should have them both early next week.
If anyone wants a steal of a Roscoe my buddy has this one for sale. I’ve heard it and it is amazing. Been plek’d also.
For Sale/Trade - Roscoe Lg 3005 custom

That’s my old Roscoe and the original owner was Danny R. It’s a great deal.
I love those “old” Roscoe’s with the “two tone” fingerboard like that. That makes me think Roscoe. I started looking at them around that time I think.
And then there's this. Fresh of the PLEK machine a few hours ago...
Everything about these two basses turned out far better than I could have imagined. From the stain and figuring on both bodies, to the crazy figure in the diamond wood fretless board, to the grain of the Pau Ferro, to the detail in the diamond wood nuts. Everything about these basses just oozes master craftsmanship, quality and attention to detail.
