The ugliest bass

[Fionn]

The subject of this topic is entirely subjective, to be sure. One persons dream bass is anothers nightmare. Aesthetically, most players would have a bass, or style of bass, that particularly floats their boat. But on the flip side, one which you find to be most gross to behold.

What's the bass which makes you baulk?

B.C Rich.

I just don't get them in any way shape or form.

[MrTaff]

Anything pointy, BC Rich, Flying V's etc.

Those dingwalls don't do much for me , also ,well anything with more than 4 strings :/ sorry 5 and 6 string playing folk !

[Bloc Riff Nut]

Warwick SSI, those things are hideous....;-)

[Bloc Riff Nut]

Just kiddin'
I'm no fan of those where the top horn is fused to the neck, what d'ya call 'em?
It just seems wrong to me.

[gub]

Dolphin ?

[tonyquipment]

Yeah anything pointy. Same with the more than 4 strings comment. Might as well pick up a guitar or banjo if more than 4 string!!

[Telebass]

Ritters. Sorry, Jens, they are just so way over the top...

[arthurhenry]

Warwick Steve Bailey sig.

[stoker]

Parker Fly's. Supposed to be amazing but I just don't like the look of them.

[Fionn]

The Rickenbacker 4001 is particularly hideous.

Terrible lines, clutter, pointless binding, crude plastic and cheapy-looking chrome tat all over the place. They seem like an un-necessary condradiction to their undoubtable quality of build. Don't like the sound of them either. Appologies to Rick-lovers, but they are the crust that Satan scrapes from under his man-boobs.

hahaha! aye, right enough Phil

[Deep Thought]

Burnses. And the Warwicks with wangs.

[Rick's Fine '52]

Rickenbacker 4001/3

Anything with 5 or more strings.

Anything with exotic woods, multi-laminates, high mass bridges, lots of knobs.

Anything with LED's

(that will do..............for now!)

[alembic63]

As much as I love Alembics, I hate this Bass.....sorry all Epic owners

[Protium]

That green relic'd one Warwick were advertising a month or so ago. Hideous.

[Dr.Dave]

Jaydees.

Well made , versatile professional instruments but Lisa Riley to my eyes.


In second place - an even better (many would say) bass. In fact they look great from the body end pin , through the bridge and pickups , way up the neck and then..........
............. a hideous squared off canoe paddle instead of a head
Sorry Wal owners

[Roland Rock]

Warwick Vampire and Dolphin. A couple of months ago I'd have said the Fodera AJ sig, but have warmed to its simplicity.

[The Dark Lord]

Those Bongo things don't look great and them there Dingwalls can only be an acquired taste.

[mep]

What's with the pointy vote? My Charvel get's plenty of good comments in this day & age.

[steve-bbb]

that thing wot looks like a toilet seat

[xgsjx]

Novelty basses are the ugliest.

Outside that, Fender's Jazz & P basses are let down by that hideous cyst of a top horn!

I mean, look!....



OK, some folk might like it. But there's no accounting for taste!

[rogerstodge]

That one that was for sale in the lefty bass section with 2 necks.. Reminds me of a vampire, you'd keep it in your shed

[Conan]

Can't decide if I love or hate this... but it sure is ugly!
