That's ok though, as it's been known for a long time that this forum has very poor taste in bass, and very little appreciation for any but about two basses out there.

Members GRANKOR Posted January 11, 2008 Members Share Posted January 11, 2008 my Warwick is a great bass regardless of certain members opinions on them! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members g.ghost Posted January 11, 2008 Members Share Posted January 11, 2008 What's with the talk about coffee table basses? Do they make basses with folding legs that I don't know about? I'll have to check out my local store and ask to see some. Oh yes.... I'm not a lover of Hofner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members RSBro Posted January 11, 2008 Members Share Posted January 11, 2008 my Warwick is a great bass regardless of certain members opinions on them! I haven't played a $$ yet, but I'd like to. The Streamer $$ 5 to be exact. Besides the THumbs, they have my fave necks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members L-1329 Posted January 11, 2008 Members Share Posted January 11, 2008 Which are the two unanimously acclaimed basses?Fender/clones/SX etc, and the 'Ray's. Maybe an occasional bass here and there too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Captain Fathead Posted January 11, 2008 Members Share Posted January 11, 2008 I guess I'll go against the grain and say I don't really mind Warwicks. I dislike their looks, but I've enjoyed the few I've played. Basses everyone likes and I don't: Rickenbacker- I wish I could dig them. I love the way they sound, and the way they look. They just don't feel correct in my hands or when I wear them, so I could never be comfortable playing one. SX Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Flatball Posted January 11, 2008 Members Share Posted January 11, 2008 I'm not even going to read the previous posts. My picks are: Rics, Mexican Fenders and any bass with more than 5 strings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members funkymonk77 Posted January 11, 2008 Members Share Posted January 11, 2008 anything less than 35" scale, schecter, hofner?, and i just left my fender for a warwick, the warwick treats me better Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members 82Daion Posted January 11, 2008 Members Share Posted January 11, 2008 Schecters and basses in that vein do nothing for me. Fenders are hit-and-miss for me-I'm not a fan of most of them, but there are some that jump out and grab me. Rics, for me, are too odd ergonomically for a bass that doesn't sound much different from a Fender, and they're overpriced to boot. Ibanez have such small necks that my hands/wrists cramp almost instantly when I play them. And most basses with Bart pickups-they just sound too polite for me.

Members RSBro Posted January 11, 2008 Members Share Posted January 11, 2008 What is that? I think it's a Cort, but that's a custom finish fo' sho'! I played one before, and I was mightily impressed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members King Kashue Posted January 11, 2008 Members Share Posted January 11, 2008 Bongos (though lots of people dislike the look of those)Non-Slab P Basses, even though I own one.Warwicks (BOALG was 100% correct...for the first time ever)Most coffee table basses (gorgeous wood, but most of them do nothing for me).Anything with black hardwareHeadless Basses (Stenies are the ugliest things on the planet to my eyes)... Edit: Red Basses...hate them with a passion. I've seen maybe one red bass that didn't make me think "god that's fugly"... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
