How common is snobbery in the bass world?
How many of you scoff at someone who plays a Squier instead of a Fender?
Coming from two of my other interests, watches and whisky, where snobs are left, right and centre, how does the bass world compare?
In my experience, lowest to highest tension:
TI Jazz Flats, La Bella Low Tension Flats, Dunlop Flats, GHS Precision Flats, La Bella Deep Talking Flats, D'Addario Chromes / Fender 9050s, DR Legends, Roto 77s.
The last ten years? Not much.
A Jazz bass, worn in rounds and Mark Bass amps are my sound.
I have tried a few light gain OD pedals but always think my tone is better without.
Deftones have lost a lot of respect from me.
Their last album was awful.
Sergio getting let go was a mistake.
And flat earther Steph isn't helping either!
I have a Jazz Usa Std with the Custom Shop pickups and I have to say, it's one of the most mid forward Jazz basses I've ever played. Give the CS pups a shot.
