the reason that i used the word magic is because it carries with it childish connotations (santa claus, easter bunny, tooth fairy etc) that i thought were valuable to convey.

As @Fred312b mentioned, wireless/any right angle 1/4" plug will be compatible with the oem Roscoe electrosocket if you remove one of those spikey washers from the inside. That said, if you want a flat jack for aesthetic/other reasons, I'd think you'd need to cover the large, beveled recessed hole in the wood with either a football jack plate or a large, curved rectangle plate. Sounds tricky to me, but that's my comfort level of custom-bending metal talking.
I might be in the market for a LG. Think I want to give another LG a try. Anybody have one they might be looking to part ways with?

Thanks to you and Fred. I'll see about removing a washer when I check the jack for potential defects.
@Thumper , here was the close-up of the fitment after removing the washer - just enough of the jack poked through the electrosocket to fit any cable, especially that pesky small shure wireless plug.
Some do, some don't, my X2 angled cables dont

I really like the Chromes. I’ve been playing exclusively my two basses with Chromes installed for the past few weeks.
Today in service I played a bass with nickels and my two plucking fingers are a little sore! I think the Chromes spoiled me and made me a little soft.

Yup. My 3 (all SKB) work fine and I prefer a right-angle at the bass even when I'm wired. My 7, which I believe may be the oldest of the 3, does not have a spanner-wrench electrosocket nut, but a curved external flange affixed with wood screws, and a what appears to be a standard 1/4" socket. I've had no reason to open it to investigate further...
So, anyone who watched SNL this week has a great comparison between a Roscoe and a Rickenbacker. House band = Roscoe, Harry Styles band = Rick.
Growl. The difference is growl. You just can't beat that signature Roscoe growl tone.

Very sweet! I have to ask, what are you using to elevate your cabs? Some sort of foldable stool?
Nice looking Bass!
First thing that I'd do when it arrives is check the intonation. You rarely see a bass with all the saddles extended that much and the intonation be correct.
Thanks!
The stacked cabs are sitting on a folding stool I bought from Wal-Mart a few years ago. Similar to this one, but mine isn't as fancy. Also, both cabinets are slanted, so no influence from the stool in that regard.

Thanks! I figured it was something like that. I have considered it and wondered. Great space saver in the auto.
I actually keep mine in a roomy keyboard gig bag along with other stuff, like music stand, extra cables, 25'' stool, bass stands and power bus.
Is that one of those tongue twisters? Toy bus, toy bus, toy bus...Of course, don’t you?
Joe, I like your toy bus!
Teeny-tiny, boy toy bus!
Say that 7 times really fast and then play "Stairway to heaven" backwards and see if it doesn't sound just like "Highway to Hell"!
I need to get to bed earlier!
