|  | All bass, no talent!
Me endorsed? | | Join Date: Feb 2007 Location: Toronto, Ontario, Canada | | | Which brands are TBers the most fanatical/loyal... Incredibly insane about?
I have owned almost everything out there, but some bass brands seem to make TBers (me included sometimes) act like geeks at a Star Trek convention or like tween girls at a One Direction concert more than other brands. Hundreds of posts about certain $10 mods, different bridges, etc. might be a little nutty. 
Which brands in your opinion get their TB owners obsessively horny/chatty/protective more than the others?
For me, the Spector Club TBers take it. Great people and completely fanatical about all things Stuart. Hard to follow sometimes as there are often hundreds of posts in a good day, but no question about Spectors is considered dumb and everyone is helpful/knowledgeable. Also, they love the brand but really could care less if you also love Warwick, Fender or anything else.
Also, the RIC fans are crazy loyal to the brand. Maybe too loyal, but they love their RICs. RIC lovers seem to be the least likely to play a different brand.... Ever.  Lakland, Fodera and Sadowsky are runners up IME.
Waddya think?

USA | | | Interesting assumption that Rick players seem to you least likely to play a different brand, perhaps some fit your assumption but I'm guessing not many. I love my Ricks, I own five different models, but I also play and love my Status, Modulus, G&L, Hofner and Fender basses. As far as loyalties go, I really have none regarding basses. I play what I like and like what I play.

RIC people are getting abandoned by their own house more and more, day by day. However, I am, also, member of the most fanatical crowd here - Acoustic amps club.

|  | Thanks to Alembic, I'll have G.A.S. until I die. | | Join Date: Aug 2011 Location: New York City | | | If number of threads of fanboy and fangirl gushing (that I may or may not have taken part in) is any indication, I'd say Lakland, Spector, and Fender. |

| | | | I am a huge Spector fan, but they're a bit spendy for the ones I want. Fender offers a great product for the price if you're selctive about it (or have some fret dressing skills or willing to have them professionally dressed) But I'll go to the mat for Tommy at USACustomGuitars and his Fenderish clones. |

Agree with Spector, Ric and Fenders too. A small but fanatical group (cue Monty Python-ish voice) is the club I'm a member of, the Sandberg fans.

Never been a big basse's fan, but I assume i'm a big Cort hater.... but that's more about human rights, politics, pollution etc..... and how they treat trees resources in Asia. You can't be sure of how they work. Guys that has nothing to care with their workers, I don't think they treat the forests better....
But you could either tell me the same with Fender about their chinese products, Ibanez, Vintage, etc..... to be honest, yeah, i must say that Cort crystallizes all the anger I feel for those persons that act like this.
Anyway, never say anything wrong about SWR REDHEAD, or I kill you |
