I’m inclined to agree.

Yeah skip over my second entry. Hell, if I didn’t love the C90 so much, I’d say give it to someone else.
Ajax, DM me your address and I’ll get that 808 out to you tomorrow.

Re: BOTR 2022 Rules and Discussion Thread
Other than my two amazingly cool basses, I was truly surprised that a clone beat out GreatMutah's Matchless head/cab, Itchy's Tweed and SG/LP Jr, and Duncan's Stereo rig.
I'm not belittling the Ceriatone Model Tee because, it is a beastly monster and the Hi-Tone 115 is solid... NTL, thanks again for the 5 votes!!!

Awesome. You guys are working all this out. I’m assuming duncan will reach out to Dave then for the speaker? Or do you need me to? I’ll DM maggotspawn and JSutter to send Mort their info.

Sweet deal! Itchy your up next? What’s your claim, yo? We got the Atreides Weirding Module, U-phoria Interface and iRig Pre.

Re: BOTR 2022 Rules and Discussion Thread
Itchy DM'd me... he's taking the Weirding Module! WOO HOO!!! I'm finally getting rid of it!!!
Itchy said: "I will take the Way Huge Atreides, thanks. I have a decent collection of Way Huge pedals from the 90s, and even a few Jorge Tripps hand built pedals, so this will be a cool add to the collection. Stoked! No rush on shipping, whenever you get around to it is fine"

Re: BOTR 2022 Rules and Discussion Thread
Look I honestly owe you guys an apology for this year. I don’t know exactly why but the last couple months during my own life I just got hit with a massive bout of depression and couldn’t get out of my own way. I didn’t want to do anything and usually this brings up my spirits a bit but that wasn’t even helping. I think I’m in a better spot now but man I couldn’t get out of my own way for a bit. I usually try to be a big cheerleader for this competition and I dropped the ball. So, all the same I’m glad those thst participated did and had fun, maybe next year we’ll look at downsizing categories a bit.

I thought you did a good job dealing with the low participation and all of the encouragement/organizing that you did to see it through.

Yeah man! Like Dick said, you did a great job, dude!!!
The forum has gone through some changes and there aren't as many active members.
Plus, the last two years have gotten us all down.
Taking new pics for the BOTR seemed to be more of a chore especially, after the 2020 lockdown, fewer gigs due to covid and my job cutting me down to 3 days a week... less money, less new gear, less vacations.
Things will pick back up eventually.
It's sometimes tough to see the light at the end of the tunnel. Ya just gotta keep on keeping on. Things have a way of turning around when you least expect it.
