By this I mean, anything you absolutely DO NOT WANT to hear from somebody trying out or noodling on a bass. I'm just curious. |

Now, if someone pulls off Teen Town while testing a bass, then I stop and applaud. |

Personally, I dont care. If youre trying out gear then play whatever the hell you wanna play.
That goes for guitarists and Stairway as well!
