Best bass

Best bass?

My bass...

I have tried Stringrays many times - very overrated. I try to love them and can't.

What a coincidence. I had the same experience with this thread.

I'm skeptical of any poster who puts a fictitious location in the profile...

Speaking of… why does yours send me to my own location when you live in Pennsylvania?

I used to say the same thing years ago until I went to a concert where 4 of the 5 acts bassist played them with different backgrounds (the 5th had an boutique) and I got to hear why they are REALLY loved. Live, I've yet to hear a bass that sets in the BAND context as well as Stingrays. Also, being a self admitted passive junkie, I narrow mindedly brushed them off because in order to get the best out of them, tweaking is necessary. I will tell you this, with a set of Chromes they are very commanding (note: they were originally shipped out with flats back in the day).

She spells color the British way. Could be Canadian. I still suspect she's just being silly.

Nahhh Man! Her feet look like Hobbit feet. You seriously don't want to visit The Shire to rub those feet.

You are probably right...I also had a very hard time adjusting to a single pickup so close to the bridge, it felt like I had to pluck even harder to cut through, which may be the reason. I never had played the HH model but I would guarantee it would be a better fit in all areas, as I am sure that bass has some serious thunder.

Like I stated before, they were designed with flats plus, you can not eq all basses the same (but you probably already knew that). Use the treble knob like a passive tone knob. Boost bass to taste. Mids (if its a 3 band) flat to off. Once I found that setting, it was on and poppin'

Squier should sue that company for copyright infringement.

Hobbit feet are a deal breaker for me. Thanks!

Down here we mostly see largemouths so thats what a lot of people think is best. Outside of the really hip most people don't even realize that there is a virtual plethora of basses to experience from your basic freshwater smallmouth to some really esoteric saltwater models.Invalid Link Removed

For metal I really like the Peacock, notice that they come lefty,too.

That Striper is really killer, how does it feel? What is the weight? Post some clips if you ever get a moment

Have you tried looking?

Before you corrected the spelling of it at some point in the last few minutes? Yes, I looked.

Yes, the "d" was missing - I didn't see that.

So what are your thoughts on whether or not there's an objectively best bass? Do you see the problem with that question now?

 

[Lowness]

Why do you care if I see a perceived problem? If I did see it, so what? Btw, the idea of "best" is everywhere on TB and life.


I see 10 pages of people complaining about a question, as the issue. I see people complaining about something they are not forced to answer as an issue.
