This beauty is the best bass I've owned.

Roscoe Club

I’ve never seen a forum like this club that takes jabs at people endlessly. I believe I’m done posting in this thread.
In his defense, you do move basses in and out rather quickly and frequently. I used to as well and had my share of “tough love” posts.
Don't your real friends razz you about things? When it happens here, it just means you are part of the group...or just deserve a little razzing.
There are a lot of reasons to think you might be selling it. If my memory serves, you said you might be raising capital for a new home soon, and you have said similar things of previous basses you then list for sale, like several Roscoes and Devons. It's okay to think something 'is the best you've ever played' and then sell it...after all, it landed you at an even more bester bass ever!

I'd rather see you stick around, we share VERY similar taste in Roscoes. If anybody has been given the business, it's Steve, and he's become a moderator. I get hit once in a while for my lighter bass preference, I mentally shrug my shoulders, but don't walk away.
Hey guys- new member of the club here. I know most of you guys play the standard soapbar types that like that beautiful one bassworship just got (side note - I get why he's upset. He was given a hard time over in the preamp thread for flipping them seemingly daily and rebuying the same ones and getting "the best tone ever". It did probably go a little overboard but as has been mentioned you gotta have some thick skin to be part of the club - or else hide your relentless gas/tone chasing
. I've been there too but it was really next level stuff. I say you stick around and temper your honeymoon periods bassworship, it's all good 
).
Anyway this is overdue but I came across this in the classifieds and took a chance. I'm a jazz bass guy and this one has me very impressed.
It's my first relic and I really dig the vibe even if I "didn't earn it". It's beautifully made and plays great. It's right up there with my Suhr classic which really is imo a perfectly made and playing jazz bass. It's got a beautiful Bolivian Rosewood board which I'm seeing a lot fewer of these days. It was built completely by Keith as an artist build. He spec'ed out some high end hand wound Jaco pickups and wanted an exact replica of his jazz neck. I'm not really a big Jaco guy but it's a pretty neat setup. The artist/seller decided right away that he couldn't do 34 inch scale lengths so he put it up for sale.
Anyway here's a couple crappy pics while I'm in my music room.

That is a beauty but for my taste that koa one is off the charts.

Sometimes the bass front is way too cute for the back to look like plain lumber. I can see why he went for those covers.
Those wenge covers do really look nice!
Shane. I order some covers just like these from Roger this morning. Thanks for providing the info on them!
I don’t think the tort pick guard works at all on a lot of basses.
It was a nightmare of sorts;
When I dreamed that a Tort;
Was installed on my custom Ken Smith.
That would drive me to drink;
Lordy, but that stuff stinks;
I'll have to make do with a Port.
--- now the Carl Thompson 6'er walkup to the chorus

We all know what GAS is like and what honeymooning is like. They’re teasing you a little because we have all been there. Lighten up, laugh at yourself sometimes. It’s definitely not worth melting and rage quitting over. That’s weak sauce. You’re better than that.
Well said, but I think you are preaching to the choir. The congregation has left the building.
I reached for my friend;
To tie-up loose ends;
My mind, way foggy from the Port.
But a nightmare I'm in;
And what's this I see;
I'm being chased by Tortoise Tree.

“Tortoise tree”?!?
I can clearly see that the quarantine is affecting us all!
