If you name any brand of bass or amp there are people who will swear to you that it's the best there is and everything else sucks in comparison.
There is almost no statement that you can make that someone can't find an argument for.
One man's dream rig is another man's Craig's list material.

Some folks come to the forum to learn, some come to demonstrate what they know.
Some come to argue, some to look for the answer to an argument.
Some come just to tell everyone that they should do a search. (Almost everything's already been discussed so if this was strictly followed there would be little use for a forum.)
Some come to try to convince others to like what they like.
Some come to sell but pretend like it just happened to come up in their post.
Some come to pitch a specific brand and pretend like they aren't connected with the company.
Some come to see who they can correct.
Some (maybe all) come to dream.
A good way to start an argument is:
To ask if the body wood affects the tone.
To ask if it's OK to play two different types of cabinets (or different size speakers) at the same time.
To ask why every one likes _______ basses (fill in a brand name) when you don't think they are very good
To ask any question that involves the government (see recent Gibson/exotic wood issues)
To ask which is better - flats or rounds
To hate on any brand
To question Ampeg amps or Fender basses
To mention the word Rickenbacker without a worshipful tone
To say a brand is overpriced.
