Our Mercy Round ended up with the Sandberg California TM2 Bass losing to the replacement challenger, the Roscoe SKB-3005 Bass, by a vote of 6-2. After what the Sandberg did to the Lieber, I figured she'd coast through the Mercy Round, but then again, I know how popular those Roscoes can be! And I think the Cocobolo basses are some of the purtiest around, so...
Anyway, coming up to face the Roscoe this week is a horse of a different colour. I mean, we can't stay with those fiery Cocobolos forever, right?
This is the Conklin Black-Grain Sidewinder Bass. I know we've featured Conklins before, but this one is made of solid Dragonwood. A real wood-lover's delight!

She's a true beauty, long and lean, with well-designed contrasting colours. But is it enough to take the crown from our new champ, the Roscoe SKB-3005 Bass?
