Thread: Skin DEEP - Giorgio Keeps On Rollin'

  1. #1

    Default Skin DEEP - Giorgio Keeps On Rollin'

    In what is possibly the most confusing victory so far in Skin DEEP, the Giorgio Benedettini 1410 Bass takes down the Bassline Buster CW 5 Thinline Fretless Bass with a final vote of 6 - 4. Having brought in Ralph to break the 4 - 4 tie, he (and apparently someone else) cast a vote for Giorgio's bass.

    Ralph stated, "Sorry, the F hole cutaway's just too irresistible." Now, did he mean it was just too beautiful, and thus drew his suspicions about his feelings toward it? Did he actually MEAN to vote for the Bassline Buster and simply hit the wrong button? And if he did, someone else voting for the Giorgio as well would have cancelled out his Buster vote and left us with a new 5 - 5 tie. Then I would have had to invite in a NEW tie-breaker.

    Sigh. It is what it is. Who can tell what goes on in the mind of a winking moon?

    For our new challenger, I found this fine-faced specimen, called the Bartlett JJE Bass, designed and built by Ben Bartlett.

    Likewise. I love the shape as well as the wood, even though I am not usually a fan of wood look pups.

    Another tie? I'll leave it open for a while. Where's our tie-breaker?

    I'd hope for someone besides the resident moon-man. I can never figure out what he's actually sayin'
