@stratman3142 - 3 points , great groove 

@TTony - 1 point , I liked the Bass riff a lot but thought the 2nd Bass part made it a bit busy .

The TT jury have awarded their points to ...

1st 5pts @IMC1980 - my riff test is  whether it gets my feet tapping or not, and this did.
2nd 3pts @stratman3142 ; -  for another great example of how to get recording right.
3rd 1pts @sticker -   which I liked, but the bass part was a mixed a bit too low for my ears for this to be a bass riff.

5 Points to @IMC1980 ; - Thought this sounded really polished, and I was tapping my feet instantly
3 Points to @stratman3142 - Loved the groove on this, and the super thick bass tone
1 Point to @Sticker - Nice feel and groove

I liked what @TTony had done, but felt the two bass tones were competing for space too much, and I wan't a fan of the guitar tone at all. When the higher register riff initially kicks in it's great.
