Sorry, Gang. I meant to put this up yesterday, but then the Republican debate came on; before I knew it, I was fast asleep on the couch, snoring like a buzz saw. I tried coffee, I tried watching a few episodes of Monty Python to wake me up, but nothing worked and I didn't get out of bed until about 8 this morning.

Aaaaaanyway, let's get this week's round up and running.

Looks like the AC 0201 Krell 4 Bass wins again, sending the Rikkers Acidline Bass to a watery grave in the crocodile filled moat at the bottom of the winner's castle.

So, we are looking for something tasty enough to unseat the champ. BTW, in case you didn't know, this is the basis of my choices for competitor: my goal is always to defeat the champ. I always search for basses that (I hope) will beat the crown holder. It's one of the reasons I try not to pick basses too far in advance of the new round. I want to see who wins first. Once I know that, I go off in search of a choice to beat that champ. It's that little extra love I put into the contest. Heh, heh.

The big question is: does she have what it takes to boot the Krell off the mountain?
