Winter Build Off 2020 - Air Space
- Thread starter Scoops
- Start date
Apolgies to @dwizum
You are now in the lineup.
So, I was looking at the montage, I came to realize I don't care if I win.
Granted, we all want to win. It's in our nature.
But this years entries are nothing short of spectacular, and I am honored to be a part of it.

Thanks to you, @Scoops, for being the Master of Ceremonies again this year. You’ve done a great job organizing and putting this all together!
What I really like about these build-offs is that we all start with a pile of wood (or carbon fiber, or aluminoom) and an idea, and after three months we end up with (most of) an instrument in-hand. Along the way we get to see how much our idea evolves to cope with the realities we face. It’s fascinating, and the truth is that everybody wins!

For us spectators it’s nothing short of amazing.
For (some of) us builders it's nothing short of amazing. I think every build I've done at the end I look back and think "wow, I can't believe I actually built this and didn't have to scrap it halfway through "
I never had any intentions of winning, being my first build of this caliber. I'm just glad it worked out that my design matched the theme of the competition so I could be involved and have some great motivation to get it done! Thanks to all of you for the inspiration and words of kindness!
Bittersweet for me this year; I won't make the finish, but I did make Mr 
happy.

Apart from Jon seeming determined to miss the Build-off, and the fact that he's going to get a very stiff PM from me if he doesn't pull his lazy arse finger out and get it built...
!....You'll be delighted to hear that the Jon & Freddy Design Studio™, is still most harmonious and available to design the bass of your dreams!.....
(For a paltry sum in comparison to other bidders)...
....We expect to hear from you soon...
...(Kidding Jon....didn't want facts to get in way of reply...

Somebody please tell me how I am suppose to vote on this.
I really can't pick a consistent 3 out.
I use one set of parameters to vote, I make my selection, I see that one I like is missing, I change my parameters, and I get another 3, but one is missing...............
