Roscoe Club

Build is coming along. The Wenge wood grain is really nice.

I just went over to the website and didn't see anything that said that. Where did you see that at? I've got a buddy that has purchased a couple basses recently from them.

Weird! I did a google on their name and found this:

https://www.google.com/search?q=the+liwend+bass+shop&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&hl=en-us&client=safari#trex=m_t:lcl_akp,rc_f:nav,rc_ludocids:4090708554722649558,rc_q:Low%20End%20Bass%20Guitar%20Shop,ru_q:Low%20End%20Bass%20Guitar%20Shop,trex_id:Frzaud

After your post I just typed in their web site as I remembered it and found this:
The LowEnd

Maybe I found an old site ....
 
I don’t blame you at all. I just don’t care for maple fretboards tonally or visually no matter how nice they are.

TB needs a “don’t like” button!:)

Different strokes for different folks....

It's not that I don't like maple 'boards, I just have 3 other ash body/maple fingerboard basses which are keepers, and I couldn't get the "growl" out of that Roscoe that I was able to get out of a previous SKB with an ash body and wenge 'board, so i figured I'd see what Keith could do. It is definitely cheaper than buying a brand new bass :D

And yes, to each their own, which is why there are so many options. Otherwise, what would we argue about on TB ;) ?
 
Sounds like two great inspirations for country songs. The first verse could be something like this ......

“Don’t Let those spiked thingamajigs drop on your cowboy hat wearing head.
Cause if you do, your blonde girl friend will think the sky’s falling.”

If no pix, then we don't believe.
Well, it's not a Roscoe, so my acquisition doesn't belong in this group. And I haven't posted a NBD in the main page as TB seems to be strongly divided on this builder. I observed a number of people get roasted when they post questions, concerns or NBDs of his work.

It's a Carl Thompson Fretless 6. (Owner of this Thread: This post can be deleted if you wish.)
