arkimedes38,

Were there a category for "biggest brass ----s". I would have voted you first. Enjoyed your build.

Thanks piece,

I think my build was like how Robbie Robertson described the band's harmonies."nothing clever, just whatever the person could hit was all."

Side note: would brass b---s have more or less sustain than steel b---s? With proper coupling of course ;)

Side side note: I really enjoyed everyone's build and it was really cool to get to know a few of you. I hope to be at your level of craftsmanship some day.

newtwanger · May 11th, 2011, 03:22 PM

Congratulations EVERYONE that completed their guitars. I hope they met your expectations. :)

I found the "alternative materials" builds very interesting and some of the "conventional" stuff to be works of art. I appreciate all the work put in to show your skills!

Congratulations!

It was a PRIVILEDGE to compete!
