Aaaand the pretty, quirky looking blue Italia Mondial has fallen
under the heel of the Pearl Frost beauty.


The G&L 30th Anniversary Bass has swept on to the next round of
Skin DEEP II with a decisive 8-3 final score.


Now, there's been a lot of spotlight featured on a certain
white Ibanez this past weekend, and I considered putting
the Jet King up against the G&L, but decided
on one of her older brothers instead.


Without any further ado, I give you this week's challenger.


Ladies and Gentlemen, put your hands together to welcome a
brave beauty who will vie for the crown!


Like the Jet King, the Ibanez "Attack" ATK300 defies the traditional
Ibanez body shape with a more classic, retro design.
And just look at that serious chrome bridge plate!!


This bass is the defiant teenager who has just come home
with a steel nose-ring!!

Although the other one is ok, could use a 2nd pick up. I like the neck pick ups myself and find that I turn off or way down the bridge pick up.

I still voted for the G&L though. I am a FAN

Gotta go with the G&L again this week. The Ibanez is ok but I'm not too crazy about the pickguard and the headstock/tuning keys. The pickguard could have been left off for a cleaner look. The tuning keys placement looks haphazard and doesn't give any symmetry to the headstock.

Seen good reviews on the ATK's sound ... too bad about the way it looks. :p

Close one, but have to stick with the G&L, she's purty :p

This one is neck and neck for me, but the G&L won by a nose!!!

As much as I'm a big fan of the older ATK's, I have to go with the G&L here :cool:

Wow. this is turning into a slaughter. Who woulda thunk it? 10 - 3 ????

Lemme ask the G&L voters a question...if I had put the G&L up against the white Ibanez Jet King, would you have voted for it instead?

I'm just curious...it won't happen since the Jet King's had to much free publicity.

...besides, we already have a contender for next week. By request...:cool:

No. It's not the color ...

I wasn't thinking of it as white vs white.

I was just wondering who would have preferred the look of the Jet King over the G&L.

Hee hee...here's a curiosity - except for the pick guard on the challenger Attack Bass, if you look at the pic of the G&L next to the Attack, they are almost perfect opposites of each other in colour. Where the G&L is light, the Attack is dark and vice versa.

Right, not the colour but the basic layout of the bass/controls/headstock, etc.

+1. That's everything that's wrong with the ATK. And that bridge ... major fail. ;)

I still like the G&L layout better
