What’s up with the XYZ bass language Gary?
Tell us what Ray bought from you! :)
Did he get that Zon fretless back?!?
That sorry rascal!

I hope that you guys wore masks during the purchase. Especially Ray because I’m sure that he stole it from you!:roflmao:

She’s back!! :bassist:

Who me? Steal? Of course not! :thumbsup: We just blessed each other real good, that’s all. :smug: And who couldn’t use more blessings during these times? :)

We certainly used the recommended social distancing and wore a mask, although mine was a black one that covered my face, and with my hat pulled down you could only see my eyes through the dark sun glasses I was wearing, if you really looked hard enough. :laugh:

Yes, it was the XYZon bass.;) I was glad to own it for a while. Anyway, I'm happy with my Roscoe fretless. You know, the one I stole from Ray.:D

Actually, I felt bad for the people waiting in line to get in to the Guitar Center. The line wasn't moving the whole time we were there in the parking lot.

7B4682F2-ED1B-4EE6-B991-45E838D3FAFF.png Just wanted to shout out Keith! He def knows how to make a vintage feeling and sounding Jazz Bass. Received this Roscoe Classic 4 today. The Curtis Novak pickups sound soooooooo good in this bass. If anybody is ordering a classic get Novak's in it trust me...

I bought and returned it because of a substantial crack by bridge

I talked them down 250 that’s all they would do after I returned it and after Keith said a total refinish would cost 500 but it could be tricky with the Buckeye top. I said no thanks lol

For what it’s worth, that finish has to be sanded off. It’s so hard there isn’t anything that can cut/dissolve it. So, at $500 I’d say that’s a great price (should you decide to have it done).
It’s quite unnoticeable IMO. But if it bothers you, since GC gave you a $250 discount, $250 out of pocket is an awesome deal for a new finish.
Congrats! Beautiful bass!

Yeah, it's noticable, but will anything more happen? I don't mind a few "character" marks on my bass. Both of my 5's have things that aren't perfect (wood is not always perfect) but I love it and it doesn't affect sound or playability or even looks really. I mean, if you can live with it and it'll just be a crack, that's a nice bass. Walk i with a pocket full of hundreds, and start laying the on the counter. Stop when they take it, or you reach your top amount. Let it sit there for a bit and see what happens.
