Here's a link to the thread over at TB...

http://www.talkbass.com/forum/f192/new- ... -a-816360/

Greg at Rocket offered me this bass... but, I just can't do it right now, unfortunately.

The bass speaks for itself... it's a badass slightly older Roscoe that has been completely detailed and refinished/refurbished by the guys at Roscoe and it came out killer.

Check out those inlays!!!

As far as the seller goes... Greg at Rocket is a rare breed. The guy is a KILLER player and he knows his shit. He's also one of the coolest and nicest dudes out there in dealer land. Compared to the other "dealer" sections of Talk Bass, his is by far the most active, and there's a reason for it. He's just a pleasure to do business with, and is willing to go WAY above and beyond the typical call of duty to serve his customers.

HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.

One of the BEST things about that Roscoe is the pickup spacing. Notice how everything is kicked back toward the bridge. The bridge pup is freaking almost touching. I love that. This bass modded to personal specs could be a great bass. AND confirmed they will do those custom oval fingerboard inlays for an upcharge. I love em.
