My Roscoe SKB 3005 fretted cured gas for 7 years. I remember the day it arrived like it was yesterday. When I opened the case and saw it for the first time my heart skipped a beat. When I picked it up and held the neck in my hands I was was truly wowed.
I traded it today for... an LG 3004.

I almost bought that one, but Greg beat me to it.Here is my SKB-3005 fretless purchased here last April. Love it. It has become my "go to" long scale.
I found an MPG, which was 'nice'.
Then I got the chance to play this one, and realized I was just not going to be happy with anything but a Roscoe.
Sold the MPG back to the guy I bought it from, making him happy.
Applied that cash (plus a bunch more...) to the guy who sold me my 3006 SKB fretless, making him happy.
He sent it to me, and now I am happy.
Happy, happy, happy.
Nice looking basses Joel!
Concerning your comment on the bridge placement variance (between your fretted and fretless Roscoes). Quite a few years ago I remember Keith telling me that he located the fretless bridge in a slightly different location than the fretted basses. He said it was done for intonation purposes. I believe that the comment came during a conversation about the potential of him building a fretless neck for one of my fretted basses.

Awesome looking fretless etoncrow! Don't they just totally kill?
Man I can't wait to go to practice tomorrow night.
I know it's not real unless there is a picture so here it is:
Cool looking finish on that CS scowboy!
I don't say this often but I like the chrome hardware on that one!
This is the 3006 I got after playing Etoncrow's convinced me I needed it:
Not quite twins but very similar look.
Includes obligatory cat content (for scale...)
yeah, i like that top.

I don't know about quitting cold turkey, Ken. I did it a couple of years ago when all of my projects reached a stopping point and I decided my day job and family were occupying all of my time. I hate not gigging at all, though, and wish I could find a way to do something once or twice a month.
You aren't retiring from Talkbass too, are you? What would you do all day?

If Kjung retires from TB someone needs to hunt him down and B-slap him!!! Anyway, I think not sharing his wealth of knowledge on TB will eventually cause his head to explode.
So for both his physical and mental health it would be a good idea to stay connected on TB if you know what I', sayin.

Yes, but at the rate that amps change, his knowledge will quickly become obsolete if he fails to get new stuff to try out.

Yeah, he could catch it from his significant other as well. He would get the, "I don't understand why you need anymore basses or amps, you don't gig anymore, as a matter of fact I've turned that old Ampeg flippy top thing into a end table!"
