Roscoe Club

Two Roscoe bass family. One with Flats and the other with Nickel RW.

I was surprised at the different tones I could get from a simple passive 4 string P bass with flats. It's fun to experiment.
Yup, because it's your sound. When you ask a bandmate "what do you think of my new guitar (preamp, etc) that sounds exciting and fresh to you, and they respond "hmm, I guess I didn't notice" it's sort of a compliment?
 
Oh lawdy that's gorgeous. I hate to ask to refinish mine that way but I've always wanted a vintage LPB. Now I don't even think about vintage with how I love this bass.
Did yours come with the patina on the control plate? Mine is new chrome (bridge also) which wasn't really fitting with the retro/relic vibe. My only minor issue.

Nice!
I had a relic’d Fender and installed a new top load bridge on it. It was quite easy doing a relic job on the new bridge by putting muriatic acid in a plastic container, setting the bridge on spacers above the acid and closing the lid over night. It worked really well.

I think a “you sound like you” no matter what gear you’re playing is a compliment.

Yes patina all the way around
 
Maybe you and a few more need to worry about your own playing and lifestyle and you might be happier. Most of how you guys continually make fun of people is what's wrong with our society today.

Sorry you’re so sensitive, man. Everything I said in my post was the kind of stuff I give my friends crap about all the time. Either way, private messaging me and then blocking me before I have a chance to respond hardly qualifies as mature behavior. Be blessed on your journeys, brother. :)
 
On second though, I think that I'll steal the Koa one instead!;)

The BEB is a better bass!! It still has stock electronics. The Koa has the Norstrand Pre-amp.
Both are nice and if you steal one you might as well steal them both! :laugh: But leave your Signature, so I won’t be Roscoe-less!
