| | | | Best bass that the consensus says sucks
OK, we've had the massive thread called "worse bass that everyone says is great", let's try the inverse. Both these must be flame war winners due to their subjective nature... I'll relinquish the floor to let y'all start a real good bonfire (heh) and I'll pipe up later with my choice for The Best Bass that Everyone Thinks Sucks!!!  |

Never seen one here, or if I have, it's been rare, and/or long ago.

If you go by majority I'll prob say Rick, though I love em.

I even recently came to the conclusion that they are not really for me despite all that I love about them. I think the ergonomics and the bridge gets them all the hate, but they are really great basses.

My current financial situation means I really need a bass that I can go to every time and it feels perfect. If I were rich I'd keep mine and just by another. Someday I will get another one.
