bass (bassisti) oxymoron'ish phrases...

[iconic]

The first one to post 'excellent fender' and/or 'talented Mark King" goes straight to the naughty stair...!

For instance.....multiple threads on ....."my bass is too heavy"....only to read oodles saying "i didnt like X bass cos it felt too light"

.....i think we must be a tough crowd to please at times!

Any others come to mind.
