I don' t like 6 stringers. 5 string bass are okay.

I never liked Jaco's tone (or anytime someone is soloing the neck pickup on a jazz).
I couldn't care less about quilted or flame tops. Good for me, because that means that I'd save money in buying a bass.
As soon as I see a bass solo involving tapping, I usually stop watching the video. It sounds unpleasant. |

I don't care for the VVT passive setup.
Pino Palladino's last 2 decades have been too restrained for me.
Jaco's tone is far from my favorite Fretless tone but I happen to be listening and enjoying him while I type this.
Though nothing close to Jaco's Jazz tone, I never play my Wal with the bridge pickup isolated.

| | Registered User | | Join Date: Oct 2009 Location: Ohio | | | I think the bass sound and lines on the first several Kiss records (through Alive II at least) are fantastic. Whether Gene wrote and played them or not, I think that's fine rock bass playing.
I like playing dorky instruments.
I don't really hate so much, just avoid if I can. |

I don't care how you make your bass make noise... Pick, fingers, thumb, tongue, whatever.
If you sound good you are good, regardless of the training you've received.
I don't really like funk very much, though some of it is pretty good.
Big amp + big cab = big tone & you can't get that with a little amp + little cab.
I dislike keyboards in rock and especially metal settings.
I don't care for 5+ string basses.
You can have Geddy Lee and Chris Squire. I'll take Lemmy and Watt. |

| | | | -I can't play anything with Peavey or Ibanez style necks for more than a few minutes without my hands aching.
-I really don't care for the sound of anything Peavey, amp or instrument.
-I will never part with my simple Yamaha BB604, I WILL be buried with it if none of my future children become serious musicians.
-my fiance had a sexual dream about Adrian Smith of Iron Maiden, and I wasn't mad or jealous (well maybe of her...that man can play!)
