silverfoxnik Posted April 6, 2013 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
