bass_dinger Posted March 23, 2022 Share Posted March 23, 2022 I think that Fender basses look unattractive. Too big, both body and headstock. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jimothey Posted March 25, 2022 Share Posted March 25, 2022 I try to convince myself that I just really don't like the sound of rounds and love flats but in reality I don't like the sound my fingers make on them due to terrible technique!

Bunion Posted March 25, 2022 Share Posted March 25, 2022 Myself and three friends were once “recognised” at a large venue gig in London by a couple of guys, quite soon a large crowd had gathered for autographs on their programmes. I’m still not sure what band they thought we were from but I signed someone else’s name for a goodly while before we managed to escape… Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bassfingers Posted March 25, 2022 Share Posted March 25, 2022 My most expensive bass is a stingray. I love the sound but I really don't enjoy playing it. It's really heavy and access to the higher frets ain't great. it just doesn't sit right. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Me too, but strangely i do like some Jazz basses. I think that the 4+1 headstock style on Fender 5 stringers is the epitome of ugly as its so unbalanced. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Machines Posted March 26, 2022 Share Posted March 26, 2022 My current collection is so pleasing I am disappointed I won't want to sell any of them to buy something else I don't need. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mowf Posted March 26, 2022 Share Posted March 26, 2022 I’m worried that buying a ‘64 P bass has cured my GAS. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

T-Bay Posted March 26, 2022 Share Posted March 26, 2022 Despite being the least OCD person I know, stingrays just bug me. The toilet hole centre with the curved control plate is an abomination. Every curve on the thing is a different radius. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All I can say is what a piece of stinky poo the Marlin was. I eventually saved up enough to buy a new Charvel when they first came out. I had actually forgotten that I had owned one untill now. Thanks for bringing back my nightmare! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nail Soup Posted March 27, 2022 Share Posted March 27, 2022 Just been reminded of this by the 'gets on my goat thread'......... It took me a looooong time to work out that 'pups' was short for pick-ups. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
