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

Unless the belief that they sound and feel different is irrational.

I can't entertain  the idea of buying a bass with blocks but without binding. It aught to be illegal.

In that case, my irrational prejudice is that I don't know if the fretboard inserts make a difference, but I believe that they do, without any evidence either way.

Guitars and basses with mother of pearl fret markers that fill the whole space between two frets.

 

That's because the mother of pearl sections will sound and feel very different to wooden fretboard sections, and ensure that the tone between the positions is unbalanced. 

 

Only if you have a grip of steel and press the strings right down to the fretboard.

I've only known one person, a guitarist, who did that. He also didn't know the difference between B minor and B flat.

 

Poor old Eric - he is getting on I suppose.

If I see a relicd guitar or bass on stage, im not hanging around to hear the band.

If I see a video thumbnail with thumb about to slap string, im not clicking on it.

I don't like bass solos.

If I see a fish sticker on the back of a car, I will expect the driver to be incompetent. 

If anyone calls their kids "dude" or "guys" then their children should be immediately taken in to care and the parent should be put in solitary confinement in Broadmoor.

What about if the player is also suitably ‘reliced’ ?

Fair do’s on this though! 😄

If he's 20 but with a face relic'd to look 70 with a file and screwdriver then I may accept that his guitar is acceptable.

Anyone else hate it when a song has kids singing on it?

Really depends. I can't imagine Another Brick in the Wall any other way.

Usually, I'd agree with @Leonard Smalls thoughts - but as you say with "Another Brick" it just suits the song so well.

 

Another example of this IMHO is "Circus Games" by the Skids. Again, the kids voices suit the subject matter, and I can't imagine it without 

[SteveXFR]

While were on it, anyone else's kids at school concerts. They're all rubbish and wasting everyone's time.

Are you sayin you don’t like, There's No One Quite Like Grandma by St Winifred's School Choir Leonard 😁

[Len_derby]

Recording.

I don’t like the process or the environment. 
To me, modern digital recording smacks too much of pi$$ing around on computers.

I’d rather busk outdoors on a rainy Wednesday than spend time in someone’s home ‘studio’ (spare bedroom).

@Leonard Smalls is in two minds about St Winifred's School Choir's cover of Another Brick in the Wall.

All the songs with kids singing in 'em sound like that, including the Floyd one. Unless they sound like "Grandpa, we love you" with professional old codger Clive Dunn.

I get irrationally nervous when @SteveXFR is behind me, and start driving erratically.  At least, I think that it's him - I can't properly see, on account of the whacking great fish sticker across my rear window.  😉

Are you a fishmonger?
