Description
Here's an incredible SKB-3006 from Roscoe (S/N 6037). We knew the bookmatched Ziracote top would be a real head-turner, so we matched it with an understated plain Maple fingerboard. The overall result in incredible.
The bass weighs in just a hair under 9 lb, not bad at all for a 6'er with a Ziracote top.
Sound Clip
Here's a quick clip of this bass multi-tracked by me (Greg Bump) on Bonnie Raitt's "Three Time Loser". I plugged direct into my Alembic F-1X preamp then into my Boss BR-600 recorder. You can hear the individual tracks come together over on TalkBass in this thread.
This bass was also featured in a "shootout" clip with several other Roscoe 6-Strings in this thread on TalkBass.
