alexclaber Posted May 29, 2010 Posted May 29, 2010 (edited) At long last, the shortlist for Barefaced Bassface 2010 has been chosen, the lucky thirteen are revealed! Please cast your votes. Voting will close when a winner appears obvious. If no winner appears obvious then we'll do that alternative vote thing so y'all can get some practice in before the next election. In the event of a tie we'll go to the tie-breaker questions. (I hope this has worked, I've never done a poll before...) 1 Token pick player with Sterling... (sunburst finish) 2 ...and another one! (natural finish) 3 Rock god - or from the dark side? (vocalist's mic intruding on left) 4 I could do this in my sleep... (fanned-fret Dingwall) 5 Am I really this awesome? Yes, so I shall slap. (black shirt, white tie) 6 House of pain? (dark t-shirt, paler trousers, Trace Elliot at back) 7 Blessed (double) bass (double bass!) 8 Welcome to the '80s jungle (headbandy thing, white strap) 9 Dude, I forgot my dentures (black Fender, singing?) 10 Strawberryblondefro... (upside down fretting hand!) 11 Attack position! (Chasing Safety? StingRay) 12 Hat? Check. D&G glasses? Check. Bassface? Check. (Streamer SII) 13 Cave bass. (5-string StingRay, Trace V4 on Eden) (Statistically it appears: Musicman Bass = Increased Bassface) Is that clear enough Mr Foxen? Tip for the next Bassface competition - it's not Basshair or Bassback - it's bassFACE! Edited May 29, 2010 by alexclaber Quote
Mr. Foxen Posted May 29, 2010 Posted May 29, 2010 Reckon you should do something to make very sure which is which. Quote
MythSte Posted May 30, 2010 Posted May 30, 2010 I'm seeing a trend. Stingrays and bassfaces... I might get a stingray just to enter the next competition! Quote
alexclaber Posted June 1, 2010 Author Posted June 1, 2010 Presumably if I post here more people will see this thread. With almost 10,000 members on basschat does the winner require a majority? Quote

Mr. Foxen Posted June 1, 2010 Posted June 1, 2010 (edited) [quote name='alexclaber' post='853340' date='Jun 1 2010, 09:59 AM']Presumably if I post here more people will see this thread. With almost 10,000 members on basschat does the winner require a majority? [/quote] I don't think it has as much through traffic as the other parts of the site, it is pretty nerdy in this section. Maybe a sticky elsewhere? Also, since a certain someone has lost the lead, and with it my chances of having a go on the cab as compensation for having to see that face most days. From the original competition thread: [quote]Mrs Barefaced has brought up the important point that a true bassface has to be sustained pout/grimace/grin, not merely a passing snapshot a la Heat's 'look how ugly/fat/chavvy celeb x looks today' photos.[/quote] So please consider the video posted in the original thread.

alexclaber Posted June 4, 2010 Author Posted June 4, 2010 We need more votes! I wonder if we could crosslink to the other sub-forums to get a wider sample of voters? Quote

velvetkevorkian Posted June 4, 2010 Posted June 4, 2010 Can it be posted in the "Site News" section so it appears at the top of the main page (i.e. where it currently shows "Basschat.co.uk latest news: I won an award... Jazz Journalist Of The Year.")? Quote

Daquifsta Posted June 5, 2010 Posted June 5, 2010 Has to be Mr. 'Fro - he's giving so much more than bassface alone Quote
Machines Posted June 6, 2010 Posted June 6, 2010 All of my bass face pics include a Stingray also, there is a worrying trend here. Quote

Shockwave Posted July 19, 2010 Posted July 19, 2010 Moved to Off-topic to get more traffic First to 50! Quote
alexclaber Posted July 20, 2010 Author Posted July 20, 2010 It could take only 6 more votes to find a winner! On the other hand it could take 445 but that's the absolute worse case scenario... The maths suggests that if things carry on as they have so far then once we've had 27 more votes there will be an official Barefaced Bassface 2009 and a prize on its way! Quote
Mr. Foxen Posted July 21, 2010 Posted July 21, 2010 Whoever wins, I lose, because I have to see Joe's face most days. Quote
