Maybe it is Redwood and not Koa ... regardless it’s pretty!

OK, you guys, it's like you're playing whack-a-mole with specs. .
“Whack-a-mole”! 
JoeFacebook in the Roscoeheads forum.
It looks like this guy is local to Roscoe, so I’d guess he played it when he got it. Who knows, things are weird(er) now...So what’s up with another really “hot off the Press” Roscoe classic for sale in the “Basses” forum?
That’s 2 (the blue burst and now red one) that folks just took delivery of being being listed for sale.
Do you think that the final product missed the mark by that much?

Amusingly, the next post is about your bass, Joe

Jon Packard is the one selling it.

This is still the prettiest Rowcoe I’ve ever laid eyes on. If anyone here owns this beauty I would buy immediately if it’s still in excellent shape.

This must be "Post pics of Pacman's former basses day". That's one that Jon sold to Joel in Hot 'Lanta.
Beautiful fretless!
Some Roschead needs to grab that one!
Where's it for sale Shane?
Ive drooled over this bass many times before. What is that top? Bubinga?
Quilted redwood.

Agreed. I thought Bass Gear magazine reviewed it as well, but googling shows it was in issue #5, which didn’t make it over to their newer format so can’t see it...I remember that bass, actually got to see it in person at the shop (the old shop) some years ago. Check with Greg at Rocketmusic as he would have some insight on it. I know they built it for Bassplayer magazine to be reviewed and had a number of upgrades. I have to agree simply the best!
