Thread: Skin DEEP 2014 - Down The Drain

  1. #1

    Default Skin DEEP 2014 - Down The Drain

    With the final score of 4-3, the Makassar Siddharta N4 Bass has made a short-timer of the champ, Stonelake Water Bass.

    And so, as we leave the Water Bass to circle the drain of defeat, we have a new challenger eager to slop through the mess to face the new king of the hill, the Makassar Siddharta N4 Bass!

    The contender this week is the delicious M-85 Bass from Guild Guitars. She's a hot-off-the-presses model of the old M-85 bass, done up in a cleaner, less complicated layout.

    Does the Guild M-85 Bass have what it takes to unseat the Makassar Siddharta N4 Bass?

    The Guild reminds me of my old Guild Bluesbird (you may have seen one in the hands of Sheryl Crow) so I've gotta go there.

    The Guild's got a nice, classic look, but feels like the safe choice. the Siddhartha's got character and a slightly asymmetrical color pattern, as well as an eye-catching body shape. +1 for the Siddhartha.

    I can vote twice, if you'd like. I feel strongly about this one!
