Roscoe Club

I think I've found the coolest pic of my Roscoe MM/J yet. Forgive the ugly dude holding her....

Thanks to @armybass, I'll have this J/MM Roscoe headed my way mañana! Though not the typical Bart soapbar setup I've had before, I'll be giving some things I haven't had luck with in the past - Bart/Bart and Spanish Cedar - another whirl. And...19mm spacing, which I'm on the fence about since I've grown to like the typical 18mm Roscoe spacing after becoming accustomed to the 17.5 EBMM five-string spacing. The 19mm spacing is fine on my Lakland, so I'm sure that'll be just fine and I can always adjust it in a bit.

I'm wondering if anyone knows, are the J/MM Bart pickups custom wound for Roscoe like the soapbars or are they typical Barts?

I recall playing that one a couple times when it lived in JOME's music room. Besides being a stunning instrument, I remember it having an open and clear tone.

Really unique.....

Steve, that is just so cool! Hard to believe that in a city that large you just happen to walk into the shop where he was eating!
What more of a sign do you need?
Call Greg and get that Pino Roscoe on it's way to your house! :bassist::bassist::bassist:
Well, in all honesty, we we’re sitting in the lobby of the hotel (happened to be the band hotel) and he walked through and I said to my wife, I think that’s him. He asked the desk about a place (heard the voice accent so that confirmed) to eat so we worked our way there to see.

Even so, it’s a sign that we happened to be in the lobby when he walked through.

I think my wife has accepted I will get a “P” bass and she loves Pono’s bass and playing. I’m close to pulling the trigger but I’m a little concerned about the nut width.

Johnny, that's exactly as I remember it at ABG. It really stood out and I was close to pulling the trigger on this. The only thing that held me back is my custom order that I have now.

Sweet! I have been primarily playing StingRay 5 basses for the past couple of years, so this one was definitely interesting to me when I saw it pop up. I’m ready to put it to work!
