Fionn Posted January 6, 2013 Share Posted January 6, 2013 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? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tonyquipment Posted January 6, 2013 Share Posted January 6, 2013 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!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fionn Posted January 6, 2013 Author Share Posted January 6, 2013 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.

Rick's Fine '52 Posted January 6, 2013 Share Posted January 6, 2013 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!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Protium Posted January 6, 2013 Share Posted January 6, 2013 That green relic'd one Warwick were advertising a month or so ago. Hideous. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr.Dave Posted January 6, 2013 Share Posted January 6, 2013 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xgsjx Posted January 6, 2013 Share Posted January 6, 2013 (edited) 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! Edited January 6, 2013 by xgsjx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rogerstodge Posted January 6, 2013 Share Posted January 6, 2013 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Conan Posted January 6, 2013 Share Posted January 6, 2013 Can't decide if I love or hate this... but it sure is ugly!
