silverfoxnik Posted April 6, 2013 Share Posted April 6, 2013 I think I played and heard one of these basses some years ago when I met up with mybass who at the time was selling a Roscoe Beck V.. Though fretless is definitely not my thing, it was a very beautifully made instrument as I recall and a lovely tone too. GLWTS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
