Sorry Jerry, any excuse for me to be a wisea$$! I always take advantage of that. That is a beautiful instrument. Me likey the red strings ta boot (DR's?).

Yup. Got this bass pre-loved, and it was strung with those when it came into my possession. Went back to plain jane DRs on the next change, and they suit me much better. I will consider black beauties int he future, though

Poach,

There should be a minimum of three scantily clad ladies in the photo to accompany all that awesome Roscoe wood;) Otherwise your not exceeding the standard you yourself set.
(Which I know you can).

Great picture man.

:D

God Bless, Ray

Adam,

Please tell me you still have that amazing, AMAZING LG Signature V fretted. The one with the ziricote top. It is still the sex, even if you don't own it.

Best,
Justin

Hey Justin, thanks for chiming in! Don't worry, I still sleep with that bass at night. I shared the trio with TB because they are similarly colored body and fingerboard woods. Ziracote #6000 has other cousins she belongs in photos with.
 
Adam,

Great to hear. Show her to us all, since this is a Roscoe Pictures thread.

Also, I LOVE the cocobolo twins. Congrats on having two fantastic basses, and good on you for reuniting them.

Alright, I don't own this one anymore, but since I once did, here it is.

Of all the basses I have owned, this one and the CB with it in my avatar are the two I miss the most. Both amazing basses.

I do intend to be back in the Roscoe club someday, probably with an SKB-3000.

Best,
Justin

Data... That Century Signature VI #5972 looks like it needs a new playground to play in.
If you really loved it then you would set it free by sending it to 'Steve's Home of Happy Roscoe VI's. You'd undoubtedly would feel much better about yourself.. :D:D
