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?
