This was the hardest vote for me - mostly because every one is a killer. Lucky we had so many great entries to choose from! Fantastic job by everyone. I really want to make a cricket bat bass now @smart51 . And a 12 string... congrats to @Gary_M for taking first!

@G Giroir 's dragon bass is probably the best looking fabric top that I've ever seen. Got me thinking...
Really superb basses here.

Same here: the Dragon Bass is the best looking fabric bass I've ever seen.

It is also the first fabric bass I've ever seen.

Thanks, Beej, I appreciate it.

Congratulations to everyone that was able to complete a build in that time span. That’s a big accomplishment and the entries were all fantastic!

Oh, and I forgot to thank @Bruce Johnson and @Dadagoboi for your many posts on TB on multi-course instruments. Without your insights, this build would have been much, much harder to complete.

Your collective knowledge gave me the confidence to march forward knowing that I had good specs to follow. Thank you both again.
