Is it BtwoMoreWeeks? (The B is silent ).

Speaking of which, I need to call him today- he still has my bass... sadly with more lockdowns coming, I doubt it'd get much use anyways

HAHAHAHA, good one!

I had a duet gig at Medinah (Country Club) scheduled for this Friday that was just canceled Wednesday (yesterday) due to the tighter restrictions. The lost wages just keep growing.

Also had some work at CRC postponed due to the IL restrictions. So, back to no gigs and limited recording opportunities again. Hope everyone is ok financially and...healthfully.

I'm sick and tired of this lock down, too!!
I had couple of calls to join bands, but what's the use?

I say B=Builds.

Why is my font shrinking!

 

[staccatogrowl]

Or maybe it’s: When will my bass really “B” finished?

"It'll B soon. . real soon. ."

 

[Nightman]

Don’t B to anxious to get your new Roscoe.

 

[Nightman]

With a heavy heart I feel compelled to announce that we have lost a good one!!! I know you have noticed his downward sliding, but, completely surprised and blind sided, he has hit rock bottom and, worst of all, seems to love his diminished state!
I am too stricken with sadness to continue.... may B help us all!!!

Man! That's a sad story Ray!

IKR... and please don't ask me who it is. I hate for anyone else to feel this sadness.

Some of us have no idea what you're talking about, so if you told us, it might help the conversation.

 

[SteveC]

Yeah, I’m a little lost. I must have missed something.

 

[Avalon5]

This is how the negative rumors get started.

 

[JOME77]

Time to resurrect this thread .......

See if you guys know your bass maker really well.....
What does the “B” stand for in Keith B. Roscoe?

Well, since it just died out I’ll tell you what the “B” stands for .....
Barker.......

I liked my interpretation better as the best “B” in the business.

Yes.
Your answer would make for a better advertising campaign!

Although “Barker” makes me want to “come on down”! Cause the Price is right!

So here's not something you see every day. Sadly, the top is kind of boring for being over 30k years old, but it could just be bad GC photography too...

So I think I'm in the minority, but I'm wondering if anyone else wishes that the classic 5's had a 3 over 2 tuner arrangement instead of the 4 over 1. I've never liked the look of 4 over 1. Fender, Sadowsky, etc. I love the 3 over 2 on the "modern" headstock. I actually think the Roscoe headstock is the best looking out there. But when it comes to the classic, even though 4 over 1 may be classic, I sure prefer the 3 over 2 like for example Lakland does on it's "jazz" type 5 strings. For example:

I'd love a shell pink bass. My daughter loves this one.
Just curious what others think about the 4/1 or 3/2 thing. I think the 4/1 looks unbalanced.

Shell Pink is good.

Shell Pink is good.

Steve’s daughter loves it!



I actually really love that color too!

I like them both. Fender style basses look a bit more normal 4-1 to my eyes. I’m not a fan of 5 in-line though.

One thing with 35” scale 4+1’s, they don’t always fit in gig bags/cases. Found that out the hard way

Actually, she said it was "sick" when I showed it to her as we've talked about shell pink basses before as a breast cancer awareness thing and because they just look cool. But I only think they look cool as a jazz body.
