Popular basses you hate??

Stuff with skinny little necks.

I wouldn't say "hate" but I go with really dislike.

A bass with an 1 1/2" wide nut is a deal breaker for me.

I'll play one if you hand me one, but I'm sure as hell not going to spend my hard earned cash on anything that skinny.
 
Let's all urinate on each other's basses! :rolleyes: My basses rule, yours suck.........

People can hate all they want on anything I play.

I could care less if people wanted to trash P basses, Fenders, Vintage, or SX... all stuff that I play regularly.

I'm plenty secure enough in my ability to choose what's right for me to read about , and participate in a conversation about what others dislike or even hate. ;)

It's just the internet. :) ;) :)
 
I will say Rickenbacker on this topic, though I do not hate em, but I kinda press my forarm on my right hand against the body, and i have the bass somewhat middlehigh, so I end up with with marks and a sore wrist due to the "slab"body contour.. I had the same problem with the Fender Aerodyne Jazz Bass, great bass, but for my preffered way of height and playing, I couldnt comfortably use it, so I sold it...
 
Hate is such a waste of passion. If I don't at least like a particular bass, then I'm indifferent to it/them. Is there anything more painful(especially for musicians)than being ignored?
To get a bit closer to actually answring the question... hmm, dunno. I guess I don't care if I ever play a Wish or not.

For me it's the opposite. I hate thick necks. Most Fender P necks feel nasty to me.
