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. :lol:

That said looks like the bass rig I essentially built purely off of your recommendations might beat your nearly identical rig. :lol: :cop:

I should get partial credit for those Ashdown head rigs...

Category winners have been announced in their respective categories. Congratulations all. Please PM Mortatone to get your strings sent to you. I'll be setting up the final category and getting that one ready for voting. I want to thank everyone for playing this year, and if you didn't, please come play next year. It's fun to do some rig pics and such.

Clearly I should have done the same. Not enough mojo from the Charvels.

I voted for you in the head/cab category. I don't care what guitars you display, that Metro is fucking sexay.

Yeah it looks like it. Give it to Lester. I've already got one entry in the final vote.

Thanks for that brother!

And if we can have some flexibility with this, I'll give my win then to Devin. It's only fair, he had 5 votes before they were all wiped out.

Cheers! Some great rigs! It was fun to participate.

Congrats to the overall winner Devin with the Sound City Rig! I really love that setup and rig of yours and it's probably my favorite winner so far. So you have won the grand prize, which is an Xotic AC Booster, courtesy of Duncan. Please PM him for your pedal.

2nd Prize goes to Duncan with the Matchless/Bogner Multi Amp rig. I love this setup. Please PM me to let me know which prize you'll be taking (Sonic Stomp, Bill Lawrence, or Boss CH-1).

3rd and 4th Prizes are a tie between _ej_ and TurboPablo. Once I hear from Duncan I'll reach out to you guys to see who wants what.
