Here's the 10th Bass Riff of the Month (BRotM) Challenge.
The challenge is now open, and remains open for submissions until 11:30pm on 24th January 2019.
BRotM can be interpreted by the entrants, ie as simple or complex as they like, to encourage as many as possible to get involved. It could be anything from a single RAW bass track to a full mix of instruments. However, the focus must be on the bass riff.
The bass riff needs to be created using a real stringed bass instrument.
Aim to keep it to a maximum of 50 seconds. This is about riffs, not songs.
Send your entry (as an mp3) to brotm@thefb.co.uk
Include your forum name in the email.
Voting will start soon after the submission deadline, with each voter selecting their 1st, 2nd and 3rd choice.
First choice gets 5 points - Second choice gets 3 points - Third choice gets 1 point. The order and scores of the top three entries will be announced soon after the voting ends. If there are 8 or more entries, then the order and scores of those in the top half will be announced.
No prizes. It's just for fun.
It's not a competition.

I'm feeling inspired because I just an upgrade to Steven Slate Drums 5, which sound great.

It's going to be carried over to next month, if we don't get enough/any entries. The various monthly challenges need a rethink in the new year as interest seems to be waning.
Any suggestions are gratefully received.

This is the case for Riff the Month (RotM) and Raw Riff of the Month (RRotM) as well, which are at the links below:

Excellent. I've started a playlist in the original post.
It would be good to get at least one more entry before I start the voting. @Fretwired how do you feel about carrying it over for another month if I don't get another entry? Or would you prefer to start the voting this month?

I try to do fairly regular bumps. I'm not sure how to target previous entrants, without feeling like I'm hounding them
It might be good to have a "Music Challenges" sub-section but I'm sure that those that could make that happen are too busy with other stuff right now, so I don't want to bother them.
Hopefully we'll get more entries. Last call because, if not, it's sadly time to discontinue this challenge.
Many thanks. Now we have 3 entries in the playlist in the original post.
