The one that hacks me off is those TBers who bash my Shergold without ever having played one.
I've also had-
Sheet music is for posers, especially for bass players.
You can't hear bass, what's the point?!

Last week I played a gig with my Sadowsky NYC. This moron comes up to me after the last set and asks me what brand my bass was. I told him it was a Sadowsky. He said it sounded pretty good for a Fender knockoff. I laughed and told him they were really rare and boutique-y, etc. He bugged me for a few minutes asking how much it cost and finally I told him a new one costs $3500-4000. He laughed his ass off and told me his new Fender custom made guitar that waaaayyyy sounded better was $1000 new.
Yeah---the old "my bass is better than yours----my d**k is bigger than yours---my dad can beat up your dad---", you'd think people could actually think of something original and useful to say.

Ha ha. Well, some people prefer the Fender tone to the Sadowsky tone, and he's entitled to his opinion... even though he was a d*ck about it.
For that reason, I never bother to explain my Sadowsky to anyone that doesn't recognize it. If someone asks, I just say "it's the nicest 5 string P-bass I could find" and leave it at that.
I'm eagerly anticipating my addition to this list based upon the post I made about Jazz basses.
