The CRF's Greatest Bassists Voting Thread ((Polls Are Closed))

[Cosmic Harmony]

They are the same rules as always but for anyone who is new or can't remember them then here they are....



*Each person gets up to 15 votes for any bassist of their choice. You may vote for anyone from any genre or time period. It doesn't necessarily have to be who you think are the best bassists but could be who you just like the most. The voting criteria is up to each individual to settle on so long as who you are voting for does, in fact, play the bass.

*Rank them from #1 to #15. Well I am tallying up everyone's lists at the end of the voting process the #1 slot will get more points than the #2 slot and so on and so forth.

*At the end of the voting process (which has no set date but I will give you a couple weeks in advance before closing the polls) I'll add everyone's points up and post the results.

*Every member is allowed to vote. Admins, mods, and any other member are permitted to vote with everyone having the same, fair number of points.

*You can post your ballet (which you are permitted to make changes to all the way up to the closing date, which for my sake I request you make all changes in a new post as opposed to going back and editing the original one if it is several pages back) here or you may send it to me in a private message if you so please. Whichever you would like.





And once again the polls are open so cry havoc and let slip the dogs of war!​

Another massive project...someone must have eaten her Wheaties today...

Love the Shakespeare quote...

I will have to think this over, make sure you remind me before you turn out the lights in this one Cosmic.

Well I do enjoy my Frosted Mini Wheats. They're delicious, bite sized, and high in fiber.



I know you have a specific fondness for that quote LG so I had you in mind when I stuck it in there.

And don't worry, I won't let you miss the boat on this one.
