That’s a great shot, Steve! I don’t know what you wanted to crop out, but had that gig been in Mid to lower Georgia you wouldn’t have been able to get a clear photo from the reflections off of winged critters!

I wanted to crop out the “Instagram” header and footer. The pic is fine.
Also, they fogged the hell out of the place before the gig.

Took my classic out for a jam with some great players and they loved it , as did I . The few times I have had this feeling I can play anything and any sound in my head I've had the classic in my hands ... coincidence ???

I Play Bass therefore I Am
It is has been a while since I have been on TalkBass, work has been grueling. I am down to only one Roscoe bass now, it is my Classic Custom 4 JJ. I am saving for a 5 string Roscoe P and if Mrs. Crash hadn't made plans to take our adult children and grandchildren to Disney in May, I would already have one. Honestly, I can't complain, she is the least materialistic person I have ever met and when she does spend money it is usually on the grandchildren and I spend more money on her than she spends on herself. That said, I am a schemer so of course I am still scheming on how to get one sooner than later. 
It is funny how things go, I am back to Jazz and P basses. Though I love the Century models and think they are some of the most beautiful basses, the tone of the Classic Custom has been the tone I have had in my head since my first J bass in 1978. Not to say if I found a Century with ebony fingerboard and a Demeter preamp I wouldn't be tempted.
So, I am down to a awesome playing SX Jazz bass with flats, I Fender Elite V jazz and a MIM P bass.

Good to see you back, @CrashClint!
I’m right there with you Crash (except I lean more toward the P and P/J basses; although I do have a Jazz 4 that I really love). Actually all of my Fenders are 4 bangers. Just not needing the low B these days. Of course I still have my 3005 Signature SKB 5. And it’s not going anywhere.

I certainly like the looks of the Roscoe Classic series basses, but I feel like I have the best of both worlds with the Century 5JJ: the great looking, feeling, and playing form-factor of a modern Roscoe, with the classic tones and voicing of 60s-spaced jazz pickups.
I’m with you. I like the look of the classic series, but I’m afraid the neck won’t be like my Century and I love that neck. I’ve debated having Keith make me a Century Standard 5 with a P in the “sweet spot” and a passive volume and tone control with the usual side input jack. Best of both worlds. 5 string passive P that feels like my Century 5.
That happened to me once with a Kazoo!
O.K. Joe, remember when we talked about sometimes you should use your inside voice.....
See what happens when you spend
too much time playing XYZ basses.
Better get Roscoe!!

That's like the pot calling the kettle black!
The pot needs to be careful before it gets smoked!
Hey Mods, it’s all a joke! No bullies here!

No idea who the keyboard player is but I loved the tune and the bass player's feel and tone!
If he can play and sound like that on a Fender just think how he'd play and sound using a Roscoe!
