    I just received my winning package from MarkIntihar for the first round of BA's Biggest Loser, so it's time to give something back. The winner of this LIF is going to get a bottle of Bourbon County Brand Coffee Stout 2012.

    The usual rules apply, lower 48 states and only guess if you weren't able to try it or get any for yourself, but don't feel obligated to start your own LIF.

    The question:

    I'm a musician who has multiple basses and guitars. How many frets do they have when you count them all together?

    I'll give out a clue at least once a day, and after the clue, feel free to guess again.

    Good luck guys, and Happy New Year! :grinning:

    Assuming you don't own all fretless Bass guitars, I'll say.....

    142 And that's a lot of Bass Guitars you own (6)

    Wow, 40 minutes and we have a winner!

    With an infinite number of possible combinations, the third guess was right. :grimacing:

    Congratulations kristalynn!

    I've got two guitars, one electric 6 string with 21 frets and one acoustic 12 string with 20, and five electric basses, four 4 strings, one of them being fretless (I thought I had a ringer), one with 21, and two with 24, and a 5 string with 24.

    You have to tell me how you got that number. You aren't sneaking around my house at night while I sleep, right? :wink:

    Send me your info, and I'll get the package out soon. Congrats again.

    Man, I had the same thing happen with my last LIF I sponsored. It was guessed early in the first round of guesses with no clues given, and originally I thought it might be too hard for anyone to get even with clues.

    kristalynn is in for a treat, this year's BCBCS is drinking stupid good.

    holy hell, i've barely been on BA lately with all the holiday nonsense (and post-nonsense recovery time) so i'm super shocked (and excited!!) to see this!

    thank you very much dvelcich, i'll message you my info in a few minutes. i'm doubly excited to start planning my own LIF, i think the 'IF' part is just as much fun as winning the 'L'.

    also, i'll have the spy cameras removed from your place ASAP.

    Thanks Krista. I'll be needing them back now as I've caught Arbitrator peeping through my windows a couple of times now. I think he may have my place confused with westcoastbeerlvr's.
