What do you guys think of the inlays Keith is offering on his SKB and other Custom basses? He’s only offering the oval kind.

I don't personally care for fret inlays (should I even be responding, then? Haha). The Roscoe ovals are an interesting take on inlays, but not interesting enough for me to like them. I think standard dots would look even more out of place on a modern Roscoe, IMO.

I think it's a totally subjective question, though.

I like the inlays, but that is just my opinion. It’s your build so choose what you like.

Oh I'm not getting it on my Buckeye Build. Wasn't really aware he done that option though until I talked to him about my Buckeye Bass today. Said that it should be done this week. Was just wondering what everyone thought of that on Keith's basses.

I don’t like a lot of fretboard art work if the bass top/design is the focal point. I usually go with a nice plain fretboard with a nice top, but that’s just me. Your preference may vary.

 

[Skip Chucker]

They look nice but I’m more a fan of less is more. I much prefer a clean finger board with the signature marker at the 12th fret.
But that is just a personal preference. I’ve never been a fan of the block inlays either.

Concur.

Tried to pull some audio from YouTube and add my bass "play along" track to it.

Nice playing, Steve...I need to pm you about how to pull YT audio, minus bass.

Your Classic sounds completely different than mine. Different strings, but sounds like Honey Badger vs Aggie P (solo’d) play a significant role...

 

[SteveC]

Thanks. I didn’t pull minus the bass. I can just pull the full audio. Guess my playing was so good you couldn’t tell.

Yeah, pickups and strings. I’ve debated replacing the HB but we’ll see. I’m torn on TI’s. I have some DTF that I can dig in with a little more. I have to play with kind of a light touch with these.

Sounds great. I’m using the Focusrite Scarlet 2i2 and iTrack Solo into GarageBand too. I’ve been thinking about the REDDI too. Sounds like a worthwhile investment.

Thanks. I’m really liking the REDDI. That’s all your hearing...and the bass. No other processing.. not even compression. Sounds great at church as well.

 

[armybass]

Yeah man it’s killer. Real warm and smooth. Great combo with the Roscoe and TIs.

Love that Lee Sklar style bass!

Man!
I didn’t even notice the twin P- bass p/u configuration (when I originally viewed the pics). I’ve never heard it in the bridge position.

TI flats are awesome sounding strings. I’ve been using the Khan Tube DI lately and the band loves it. It and the Reddi are the beat DI boxes I’ve used.

Have any of you guys tried the Radial FireFly?
My GAS tells me it would be awesome; my bank account tells me: And?...

2021 predictions ... All of you will get a classic .

I actually had one and used it live for a big Church I played at for a while. It was a great DI and right up there with the Reddi and Khan. It was a little cleaner than the 2 tonally but still that thick Tube tone. It sounded great with bass and Guitar. Just a all around great DI.

I'd say I probably will as I'm really wanting a JJ bass to have in my stable.

 

[SteveC]

I've always liked this bass...

Man!
That greatly tempts me to put my Elite P/J up for sale.
I do have a friend that lives in Lewisville that could stop by the GC and give it a once over.
That bass would also make Steve and I brothers from different mothers!

If I get some Christmas Cash, I might pull the trigger myself.
