I had big ambitions to enter a few categories, but now my gear is all in storage while my wife and I are between houses. So looks like no joy.
I used to play guitar.

as I have a release and DB migration weekend ahead I might not be able to contribute with further entries - but let's see if there will be spare time for some more pics between the panic waves at work ...

Re: BOTR 2021 Rules and Discussion Thread
Was really looking forward to this late last year, when I'd finally gotten my studio cleaned out and in really good order...
...then 2021 came and made my 2020 look like a breeze
...and I no longer live there with my studio
...so, can I get a variance and enter with my final pics of the studio?

Re: BOTR 2021 Rules and Discussion Thread
Voting has begun. We already have a winner in the multi amp rig because only Duncan entered and no one else did. Also there were no entries in the rack rig category as Bill's submission was to get the category going and not to compete. So no winner there.

Re: BOTR 2021 Rules and Discussion Thread
Guys, I’m a dummy and forgot to add a rig to the voting pool for head/cab. So I put it up for voting but unfortunately that resets all voting. So if you had voted in head cab I need you to vote again.

Hey, thanks for adding the Laney, and no worries that was anyway the least competitive entry in the head/cab category.
In case you recognize something similar in the Combo category, please do not reset the votes

Seriously? I did it there too? Dammit!
EDIT: ok. For any rig that I didn’t post in the voting pool thst you’d like to vote for just add a post at the end of the thread with that posters name. In fact you can quote their post too. And I’ll tally those up.

My rig has been my rig since forever and I don't think I've ever entered.
Last I checked I had zero votes so at least you're beating me.
That said looks like the bass rig I essentially built purely off of your recommendations might beat your nearly identical rig.

A purple bass is a bit of a crowd splitter to be fair. Everyone loves a black guitar
