We'll let the poll run a little longer this time, maybe we can gin up some drama. 30 days 'til we turn the winner of this poll into an official Roscoe order!

They're all great, but I agree that the burl needs to happen. 4 string LG sounds perfect.

Hell, I'll go one further:

LG 3000 J
? Burl top
Spanish Cedar body
Natural Oil finish
Bart JJ's
Bart 3-band
Maple/Purpleheart (or Wenge, knowing Greg's preferences)/Maple neck
Bird's Eye Maple fingerboard
? Burl 12th fret inlay
Diamondwood nut
Black hardware

This would KILL. Visually and sonically.

Maybe change it to a 5, but otherwise, that's the bass, right there...

Was it not Gard himself that said the lines in my sig? Like I said, I am just gonna agree with him..........HA!

...Greg, I thought we took an order for a bass for Ryan...but I can't seem to find it...I'll have to look around for it here....(ruffling paper sounds)...nope....not here (more ruffling paper sounds)....not here either...well, I'll keep looking for it, eventually it'll turn up....may take a few months (even more ruffling of papers)....may take a year or so...(ruffling stops)...but I'll find it, never fear....eventually...(more paper ruffling)
