(sigh)

And still the beautiful Gretsch cannot win a round to save her life.

In a tragically sad 8 - 6 final score, the Gretsch has just been wiffle-batted
off the mountain for the SECOND time. And there stands the ReBop on top...
...all smug and cherry sweet.

Okay, okay...she's good looking. Harumph.

AND NOW...

Welcome to "Least Ugly Day" here on Thunder Row's game of Skin DEEP.

Both of the basses competing this week were greeted with extreme disdain
on their first respective shots at the crown.

Not only was the Cort Curbow "Mystic Ice Crazer" Bass stomped by the ReBop,
but the majority of the voters felt that the Cort should be ashamed of herself
for showing up in this colour.

The other bass, chastised for being - well - cheap looking, was the
infamous white Ritter Cora Bass. If I recall, she was compared to a street
walker who wasn't likely to earn much money at her trade.

Maybe this week's vote should be to decide which bass is not as ugly
as the other one. Hmmm...

No, no. We're still all about beauty. We want to decide which is the more attractive
of these two competitors.

And so without further ado, I give you...

The Cort Curbow Bass vs The Ritter Cora Bass.

Cort Curbow for me. It's clearly the lesser of two...uh...um....
Guess I'll revert to the old saw about not saying anything if you can't say something nice. :o ;)

LOL...ahhh, I see the abuse continues.

Truth? I'd add that Curbow to my collection in a heartbeat!

Gotta go with the Curbow. I fell in love with the shape of the real ones long ago at the Nashville NAMM show. I had one of the Corts a couple years back and the tone was fabulous for such a cheap plastic bass, the balance was very nice.

The other bass? Something out of Dr. Seuss? :D

Weird or weirder??

Can't get past the odd shape of the Ritter, so gotta go with the slightly "less weird" Cort ;)

The Cort has just the right attitude. It says..."Take me to a bar with chicken wire infront of the stage". I kinda like that in a bass.

It's unfortunate that the Ritter was smacked with the ugly stick. It's also unfortunate that the Cort got the ugly finish.
