You’re right that the bass isn’t plugged in. I took the picture right after I got done rattling my house. If that disqualifies me then you’re all just a bunch of facists :lol:

I got disqualified two years ago for such an oversite so I'd say take a new pic or admit defeat.

Alright keep em coming. Got til noon pacific/3pm eastern on Monday. Check your cabling and power. If you’ve already posted photos and are concerned then maybe retake them to be safe. If you have more than one amp in a specific category (amps, not cabs) then get a new photo up with only one head. If the photos don’t pass muster by the time above then your entry will be disqualified. And yes I’ll be looking at and re-evaluating some of my own to be safe.

Thanks hommie, we didn't have a vintage category, but it would have worked for that too, mostly!

BTW, I plan to vote for your bass rig of doom too. I mean, I have personal experience with some of that gear... :lol:

Itchy I love your combo rig. I love the Space Echo. And I really really love that SG Junior. The 335 is no slouch either. But that SG.

Thanks GM! That SG just forces you play more aggressively, its crazy.

This is a potato clip on YT, so grain of salt and all - just some low volume noodling around with the pickups on the ES-335, the amp trem, and the Space Echo. :heart:

Finally got around to entering combo and large board.. I know y’all are OCD so I’ll probably lose votes for cable mess :cop:


I was tempted to try and enter budget category with my Sheraton and blues dlx but I think I’m closer to $1100 on that rig :cry: although since the Sheraton was a gift to me from my fiancé technically that takes my cost to well under $1000 :cop:

Extending the entry time one more week. Want to see if we get some more in for one, and for another my week coming up is pretty busy so I’d rather set up the polls and voting on a less crazy week.

Yeah we can do that. Why not? Stereo/Multi-Amp/WDW. Get em in. And plug in your rigs and turn them on!

Minimum two amps (combos or two heads). On/Passing Signal. Explanation of signal chain will help immensely. Please have something splitting the signal to your amps in this. Be it a multi fx unit, rack unit, A/B box, stereo pedal or Y cable. Just so we can see it hooked up in it's ready to play state.

I think I've got the bass rig category in the bag.

Nothing like a $40 bass with an iRig that I just plug into a laptop to record demos.
I used to play guitar.
