Beautiful basses! I especially like the Koa (?) LG. Just killer!
Well you do enter with quite a bang.
Welcome back Ray.
That's right! High Gloss Koa top LG with BE Maple fretboard. This is the bass with the Demeter preamp and Bart pups. Killer bass!
I split the gig tonight and played both basses.
Of course, the Buckeye Burl is a monster, too.
I think both basses are the best bass I've ever played!!

I'm trying to get up enough courage to order another Demeter. After what you went through, and the fact that all of my spare Demeter pre pots are now gone, I'm just not sure if I want to roll the dice. The last one that I order came as yours did with panel mounting pots (threaded shaft not long enough to extend through holes in the Roscoe top).
I'm thinking maybe Pope Flex core or East Uni-pre. The passive tone control along with the active/passive mode make them very desirable.

I've got an Active/Passive volume knob on mine, and I use an LPF pedal to get close to what a passive tone control pot can do. It works really well for me.

Bass companies (or any company, really) don't endorse players. Players endorse companies.

If, for some unknown reason, I ordered another Demeter preamp it would be the generic OTC variety.
I always wanted a Pope!
It got my first Pope Flex in a used bass I bought recently and I really, really like the controls, tone spectrum and the flexibility of the pre. It’s almost like a plug n’ play module design. As a matter of fact, the Pope Flex was what I was considering for the Bart replacement when I went with Demeter.
The universe has a way of putting things in order!
Yep, it's pretty rare for a company to endorse an artist in terms of supplying them gear, publicity, and substantial monetary support. Was interested to ask detailed questions earlier, actually in hopes of learning of the occurrence of this rare arrangement for one of our members, following their "pronouncement."
Anyways, I endorse my local grocery store in the signing of my check to them several times a week. . I guess they endorse me when the discount coupon prints out after my sales receipt.

Hey @scubaduba, my compressor is
'On FedEx vehicle for delivery'

I have nothing to compare it to, so it should work out just nicely!

I tried to get any endorsement, Taco Bell, What a Burger, In and Out, Culver's, Long John Silver's...
But no one really cares what this old man plays or eats.

Mark, That’s not true! We care that you play and endorse Roscoe basses!
These days I endorse a Roscoe 'cause it's way to hot to play them outdorse in the summer! 
“Make it a Roscoe night!” Heh heh, sounds like a TV commercial.
Great looking basses!
Guys, I think this is the XYZ company endorsement program being referenced. Tap the date link to read in full. Seems legit.
Now back to regularly scheduled Roscoe talk.
I wish him luck with his Devon club.
Anyone here considering selling/trading their Roscoe 6 for a Roscoe 5er? I may have something coming up where I could use a 6.

Are you mocking my addiction?
