Roscoe Club

Ever since I sold my Pedulla Pentabuzz I've missed having and playing a fretless. I regretted selling that bass almost immediately. So when this Roscoe showed up in the classifieds I decided to pull the trigger and welcome fretless back to my world.

So with this one, I'm back in the Roscoe camp. Experiencing what Roscoe fretless is all about.

I traded my very last Pedulla for my first Roscoe, and have been a Roscoe artist since, never looking back. Please share your comparative experience if so inclined. Your LG is visually stunning. Mine is not so fancy, but it has fretless tone that is one of my faves, and is a joy to play.

The neck is super stable, and I have only touched the truss rod once in 5 years (vs 5-6 times a year for my former Pentabuzz). May you enjoy your LG as much as I enjoy mine.

My two LGs are 25 years apart. But Keith did sign my headstock in gold sharpie rather than the black stamp, because it matched the sienna burst better. So there's that.

I'd post a photo, but it's at the shop getting some fret sprout taken care of. (I found out that one of the master builders from Gibson and then Heritage started his own shop out of his garage, so I took it to him. He builds and refurbs Billy Gibbons' Gibson guitars, so I figure he'll take good care of it)

That's cool Skip.
Much cooler than a decal!

Also very nice to have a master luthier located locally.

That Roscoe red (cordovan?) is always so sharp- beautiful bass!

Well, I think I'm going to pass on my new to me Roscoe fretless. I had the best intentions of being diligent with fretless but I think I know the truth. It's just not in the cards right now so I shouldn't sit on a bass that isn't going to get played. I put it in the classifieds.... at least for now. Cause it sure is a beauty... and well, it is a Roscoe after all. Feel free to talk me out of it.
