Hey all,

The fretless 5 string showcase/buildoff is complete, and some really great work was completed. A lot of really cool, really high caliber work was done for this. So now is the time for all of the builders to post pictures ONLY in this thread for voting. 4-5 pics should be good, but you can post as many or as few as you wish.

Builders will have until the morning of May 14, 2011 to post pictures for voting. I will post the poll in this thread on the 14th so that voting can start.

Voting will run until the 30th of May so everyone has a chance to vote.

***Builders, even if you didn't finish, please try to get pics up for the thread, there were so many cool builds started, I'd like to have a collage of everyone by the end of the vote to go with the trophy. Once the voting is complete, I will award the trophy to the winner, and we can prepare for the next wild ride into buildoff world...LOL

I hope everyone had as much fun as I did with this buildoff, and hopefully we can do another soon.

all the best
JC

I have had the opportunity to play Barnaclebleau's. The only way to make this fair would be for each of you to send me your bass. As an industry pro for over 25 years, I can make an educated as well as artistic judgment. I PROMISE to send all basses back to the owner (except for, maybe, the winner).

Look forward to all the pics

Mike, counter offer.....you stop by all of our shops, and we'll let you play them for free? LMAO just kidding, :hyper::D:p
 
It would be cool if all of the entries had a sound clip included in the post. It is going to be difficult to pick a winner

Although I think a sound clip is a GREAT idea, it would have to be under a controlled system. Same cables, same amp, same sound card. It is the only way to get it "right". Therefore, I reiterate by original idea, send all those beauties to me ... this ain't working is it?

Great work, kudos to everyone

Mike
