i mean not to offend with any of the following, as i would play pretty much anything if it came down to it...
1. Ricks.. Not a very pleasant shape, not a very pleasant tone..
2. Single cuts... why? for the life of me i cant think of the reason of a single cut design..... my neck is stable enough thanks
3. Headless basses or basses that have multiple LED lights in the neck., with an ultra modern tone...OMG ,, where do i start on how bad that is... you need to give up the glory days of Mark King... step away from your Status and take that plaster off your thumb..
4. Gibson SG Gibson thunderbird,, great tone, just not my thing shape wise
6. Fodera's... where do i start.. I hate to say it as they are awsome basses, but Fodera seem to have carved out this image through marketing that there basses are better than anything else on the market, and there prices reflect this.... utter nonsense...Martin Peterson at Sei can make a bass that could match any Fodera and so can STR, Sadowsky, etc.... but Fodera decide they will charge twice as much a everyone else..? i personally would feel like a self important moron playing a Fodera on stage
7.Buckeyed burl.. see 6. awful looking wood
