Anyway, I voted for pablo. Those two fiddles and that amp would suit me just fine. :love:

Lots of nice rigs in here. Congrats to the winners!


Yes there was a rule about that.

Historically, yes, but we seem to have moved into a wild West, anything goes format

Late submissions, posting entire collections, not passing signal, etc.

At least we don’t require people to have posted clips to be eligible.

In all seriousness guys, moderating this has been lax for me and I’m sorry. 99% of my free time is devoted to a 5 month old right now.

That came across as more snarky than intended - no offense.

And I am (as I'm sure everyone else is) appreciative of your time and effort to put this together - thanks!

We are nothing if not a free-spirited, manage by the seat of your pants, spur of the moment community.
