This month's vote was another difficult one for me.

KnightroExpress, "Exploder MS8"
Andrew - every single build you're presenting show an exquisitely clean process beginning to end. In fact, I only ever recall your malicious pillar drill ever causing you any grief or causing errors. Keep up the solid work, and thanks for sharing it with everybody!

StratsRdivine, "Mr. T"
Built for the stage, unashamedly. I'm not a big fan of sparkly stuff, however having been given a privileged insight into the creation of such unique materials and your complete absorption in mastering them, I can't not be in awe.

2.5itim, "N12"
Second entry, and look at what happens....everybody climbs out of the woodwork (literally) and dumps a hard contest on us, right? Any other month, this would hit it out of the park without a second glance.

boroducci, "Axmin alpha"
Hah! Like Chris says, "Dear super-cool-bass-back's finish... I CHALLENGE TO YOU BATTLE". This is totally a super cool bass, and not just the back.

verhoevenc, "Model 1 - MASSIVE ACCESS"
Your designs have been gradually evolving over a period of years Chris, and this looks like a very worthy iteration. Shame we don't see any build porn these days. 

Andyjr1515, "Psilos ultra-modern bass"
Unadorned and wacky. I keep vacillating on whether it looks light, would feel weird or sit right. It's constantly breaking my brain. Simple, raw and for purpose.

I voted on the first one I would pick up if I were in a room with them. Even then I had my doubts as to whether it was what I would actually do.

Given my post's battle cry I think we all know who I voted for haha. That finish is just too cool and original not to vote for.

@Prostheta I'll admit my action shots have been much diminished lately. Most of them go to my company Instagram account as it's easier, faster, and serves a business purpose. But I agree I should get back more to my roots of teaching and sharing. PM me and let's discuss setting something up or other ideas? While you're at it can we up my message storage ?

Some great entries - all of them.  As I've said before, I usually vote based on which one I would want to take home with me...and I'm a sucker for purple guitars...especially stupendously cool purple ones

(and, as presumably no one can see this unless they have already voted so it's not going to influence anything, to answer your question @Prostheta , the Psilos sits wonderfully well, on strap or over the knee.  It's actually one of the nicest basses I can remember playing.  Total fluke, mind you...I couldn't be sure at all how it was going to end up  )

Let me throw my 5 Kopek! xD
I absolutely love you guys, your opinions and your guitars)
I feel nothing similar when talk with russian musicians, but here I fill like at home, thank u!

All guitars are incredible, awesome, some are even crazy (in good way I mean)
But I like purple. Like purple very much)) I think you understand what I want to say :-)

It's all good! Your instruments are refreshingly different and brilliantly made. Thanks for sharing your ideas and processes. That's what it's all about.
