Description
Serial number 6107 was a special order for fellow TB'er Freddels. He bought another bass before this one was completed, so this one is up for grabs. The stunning 1-piece Burl Maple top has been paired with a Spalted Purple Heart fretboard on a Wenge-centered neck. As good as this one looks, the tone is even better. It's another of the Roscoes that has a big natural tone, you don't need to lean on the bass boost much with this one.
Sound Clip
Freddels wanted to hear some Stax or Motown, so here's a quick clip of this bass doing Wilson Pickett's "Midnight Hour". I went through my Alembic F-1X preamp then into the Boss BR-600 recorder.
