What are your irrational prejudices? I have some bonkers ones...

The opposite of this thread would be 'defend the indefensible' where someone shares a North-Korean reliced, refinished Bert Weedon signature nine-string Encore headless doublecut Precision extra-short-scale lined fingerboard fan fretless with neck heel truss adjuster, fake hipshot ultrazlights, high mass bent bit of tin bridge, fifteen control knob active for four original pickups, a transparent pickguard (with unpeeled film) on the tortoiseshell effect ornate burl antigua burst basswood body with brand new Olympic flatwounds, two ramps, a mute, neck wrap, straplocks, Ricky sticker, Fender branded strip.

 

And a plectrum holder held to the front of the body with an industrial strength sticky pad.

*best sounding bass I ever heard. Plays like butter. Selling as I only play ukulele since the injuries.

I'm pretty sure Eubassix has that exact bass for sale on Ebay at the moment.

Having owned two Rickenbacker basses in the past I can confidently state that the little sticker is by far the highest quality part of the instrument & is the only thing that stops them falling apart completely.

Sounds like theyre worth every penny of the inflated price 👍

At least it hasn't got a headstock tuner left on it.

I'm a teacher, I have to manage no end of annoyances with near heroic levels of self control.  Repeated bad aim at the urinals for example ("Stand closer!  They will not bite you.") and a lack of familiarity with western toilets ("We don't squat on them.  We sit.  Yes, sit! ... Well don't use them then.").  Bass stuff is a walk in the park by comparison.
