Whew! That was close! You saved it from becoming a new coffee table in a SheShed with new matching furniture and drapes.
This was posted in the Reverb Deals thread by @Fred312b . Thought I'd share it in the Roscoe club.
Well the seller must have seen my post because they raised their price $50. Still not bad though.
I just spoke to Keith on the phone (he answers every time I've called). I asked if he's still interested in doing a single-cut bass. He said that he and Kyle are looking into different designs and wants to do something special. We agree'd that some other luthier's designs are plain fugly and some don't work well functionally and asthetically.
I told him to take his time since I've got a new bass on the way. No need to rush. Just make the best single-cut available. He's totally onboard with that.

Watching Trace Adkins on AXStv and the bass player is playing a 5-string Roscoe LG. I played a 4-string LG in my country band back in the early 90's. Shook the room with big solid low end on the weekends at Cary's in Buckhead Atlanta. We also played Underground Atlanta in February when it snowed so hard we had to wait til the next morning to go home.

I know this has probably been discussed at length here but does anyone here know the difference between Roscoe Daddario and standard Daddario XL nickels? I’ve read that Keith used 125 B string is this the only difference? I think good old Daddario xl nickels use 130. Maybe the are just regular XL’s but I ordered some from him as I like those anyways so it’s a win regardless
I believe that the Roscoe sets are 45, 60, 85, .100, .125
The stock D'Addario's are 45, 60, 80, .100, .130

I use the stock D’Addario’s on both my fretted and fretless 5’s and love them.

I like the stock Roscoe strings really good but prefer the Pure Blues by quite a bit over any string I’ve tried especially on my Roscoes. I actually got 4 sets of Pure Blues here with our discount for a little over $24 a pack.

Saw on the 'Book that your Koa is back on the market because a new mortgage is on the way?! Congrats on the house!
What in the world is “”Oute Bkues”?
I hope it’s not contagious!
Could be the product of trying to type "Pure Blues" on a slippery keyboard.
We haven't purchased yet but looking and in the market for a bigger home.
Probably got some of that conditioning oil on his keyboard from the weekly spa treatment that Shane’s basses get!
