What's with ambiguous "best" threads?

As in, what's the best bass, what's the best effect pedal, who is the best bass player...???

THESE ARE IMPOSSIBLE QUESTIONS TO ANSWER UNIVERSALLY, people...

These threads drive me nuts.

Actually, you've got an excellent point. Jaco is an amazing bass player, and undoubtabley a huge influence on us all, but I doubt he'd do very well in an extreme metal band, and vice versa for guys like Alex Webster.

I reckon those threads are mostly about consensus, the non-trolling ones anyways.

Usually the person asking the question is thinkng of imitating the bassist, or buying some gear, and wants some consensus for their choice.

If it annoys you that much, don't click the link
