Okay, here's the deal.


The very first poster in Skin DEEP II - Round Nine was Greg Jewell, who said
he was giving his nod to the Spector ReBop. However, the second comment
was mine, in which I reminded Greg that - even though he had stated
his preference - he had not placed an actual vote.


On that basis, I cast my tie-breaking vote for the Spector ReBop, the bass
for which Greg Jewell stated his preference.


So let us congratulate Lola, our beautiful (albeit filthy, dirty, plastic, Guitar Center
Special, Cyndi Lauper inspired) Spector ReBop for once again retaining the crown
with her 7-6 final score!!


She deserves it, don't she? :cool:


But I think this old gal has her hands full with this week's contender.


Slinking into the ring from the Conklin Custom Shop is the exquisite
Crossover hollowbody bass.


Made of Dragonwood, this unlined fretless work of art has satin-chrome hardware,
volume, blend, and tone knobs, a split pickup, and a ReBop challenging finish called
"Cellophane Black Cherry Burst Satin." Woof!



Thunder Row is proud to present...


In the black cherry corner, the precariously perched but still reigning champ,
the Spector ReBop bass.


And in...er...the OTHER black cherry corner, the new challenger,
the Conklin Crossover hollowbody bass.

- just click for a closer look -



In the world of black cherry versus black cherry, can the ReBop
maintain her clawing grip on the crown?


Or will the Conklin "El-Kabong" her over the head and earn the
right to perch smugly atop the hill of victory?


You Decide!!


VOTE NOW!!

With that hollow body, it might not be wise for the Conklin to take that approach. ;)

The Conklin looks nice but isn't quite the looker that the Spector is.

One decision AND vote :) for the champ!

Try it now. It had to do with setting everybody up with their membership placements.

It is working now.

I like the new comer, interesting body and headstock. The color is good as well.

As always, anybody who would like a certain bass featured in the contest, just send me a PM. If you know where there's a pic of it, send the link, too.

And keep the votes coming!!

I prefer the headstock on the Conklin but overall....not nearly as pretty as the ReBop, imo.

The only thing I'm not liking is that large upper horn on the Conklin, but the finish and overall layout of the bass and controls is just wonderful (and it is a fretless ;)). :D

Conklin gets my vote!
