bubinga5 Posted September 9, 2010 Share Posted September 9, 2010 (edited) I cant say that i hate any basses..if they play well im there...i like the thought of taking a certain 'genre' associated bass and taking into another genre...Sometimes this is not possible..but ive always thought you could smoke a funk tune on a Riky...Im not that keen on the shape myself but i would still play one...Ive never been keen on the weight of Gibson basses but i still like em... Cheap and nasty basses arent good..im not talking cheap basses..im talking cheap basses that are just sold with no thought whatsoever to the end product, or the user... there just sh*te.. oh and vastly overpriced basses...although i wouldnt turn a free one away Edited September 9, 2010 by bubinga5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hagguy Posted September 9, 2010 Share Posted September 9, 2010 got to agree with the hofner violin bass, absolutely hideous. also hate sparkley basses like modulus the finish really takes away from a decent looking instrument Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cat Burrito Posted September 9, 2010 Share Posted September 9, 2010 I hate basses that I like the look of so wind up buying them, only to sell them on Thankfully I've got much better at controlling that urge Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heathy Posted September 9, 2010 Share Posted September 9, 2010 The Burns basses in BGM this month look horrible. All of them. Never liked the look of Rickenbackers either. Or basses with too many knobs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

E sharp Posted September 9, 2010 Share Posted September 9, 2010 Burns , Thunderbird , Beatle bass , BC Rich and Stanley Clarke Alembic (though more the look of someone trying to off set the dreadful balance of a 5K bass) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hoiho Posted September 9, 2010 Share Posted September 9, 2010 Anything with more than two acute angles on its body outline. Gene Simmon's "axe" bass, Booty's Star bass(es). Warwick's Vampyre. Single-cuts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Balcro Posted September 9, 2010 Share Posted September 9, 2010 It's got to be a MusicMan. Why design a stringed instrument and put the pickup in the wrong place? One pickup placed close to a string anchorage point where the vibration is minimal! Huh.... and as for that tear-drop pick guard. Looks like product differentiation for the sake of it. Rickenbackers just look old for the sake of it. The curly knob-end to the top horn is at least good for keeping a grip on it, - stops your hand slipping off - but otherwise. Balcro.

4 Strings Posted September 9, 2010 Share Posted September 9, 2010 (edited) Don't know who the biggest twerp is, the guy with the monster round his neck or the camera man who favoured this and ignored Babbit. Oh, my pet hate? EB0 basses, especially the copies, but even the Gibsons look and sound horrible.
